do God exist

[Julian]

I understand your struggle and the questions you're grappling with. It's a common challenge for many people to reconcile their faith with the realities of life, especially when they see suffering and injustice. Here are a few thoughts that might help:

1. **The Nature of Suffering**: The Bible acknowledges that suffering and injustice exist in the world. In the book of Job, for example, Job experiences immense suffering despite being a righteous man. The Bible doesn't always provide clear answers as to why suffering happens, but it does offer comfort and assurance that God is with us in our suffering.

2. **God's Perspective**: It's important to remember that God's ways are higher than our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9). What we perceive as unfair or unjust may not align with God's greater plan, which we may not fully understand from our limited perspective.

3. **The Rich and the Poor**: The Bible does speak about the dangers of wealth and the blessings of poverty in a spiritual sense. For example, in Matthew 19:24, Jesus says, "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God." This highlights the spiritual challenges that wealth can bring, such as greed and self-reliance, rather than suggesting that wealth is inherently evil.

4. **God's Justice**: The Bible assures us that God is just and will ultimately right all wrongs. In the New Testament, Revelation 21:4 promises, "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."

5. **Faith and Action**: Faith is not just about belief but also about action. While God is sovereign, He often works through people to bring about change. Your desire to help your friend is a reflection of God's love working through you.

6. **Community and Support**: Sometimes, the church community can provide support and resources for those in need. It might be helpful to connect with local churches or faith-based organizations that offer assistance.

7. **Personal Relationship with God**: It's okay to question and struggle with your faith. Many people have gone through similar experiences and have found their way back to a deeper understanding and relationship with God. Prayer, reading the Bible, and seeking guidance from trusted spiritual mentors can be helpful.

Remember, it's okay to have doubts and questions. Faith is a journey, and it's normal to seek understanding and clarity. If you're open to it, consider reaching out to a pastor or spiritual advisor who can provide guidance and support tailored to your situation.

Dear Father, I lift up his situation unto You. Please satisfy his thirst in knowing You as when we knock, the door will be opened, when we ask, we will be given, and when seek, we will find. Father, however, I thank You for my situation which is not supplied with abundan of cash so that I can live dependently to You, and when You see that I can be trusted with so much supply of cash, please let it be for the glory of Your Holy Name to people around me. Father, the same thing I bring unto You for him that money should not be everything, and all we should do is to please You as the priority with our gratitude. Therefore, Father, I lift up his friend as well, please answer her prayer, and please bless them with financial supply through a good pay job. Father, please also bless him with peace, love, joy, and financial supply according to his needs and according to Your will and grace. In Yeshua Hamashiach's Name I pray. Amen!

You are only looking at half the story. This is not the end yet. All evil people, whether rich or poor will be punished, while those who follow God, whether rich or poor, will be rewarded. And that may be here on earth, not only afterwards. For now, the prince of this world rules and he does the reverse. But God is setting his kingdom by starting with transforming our hearts, the greatest miracle of all. Look at how many people have already been changed. That is evidence. Take it or leave it. God will help you find him if you are sincere. In Jesus name.

How have the rich you mention become rich? by God's grace or by stepping on others...and what gain do they have when they face the Creator? they take nothing with them and do their riches truly bring contentment or do they strive for more? Jesus said in this life you will have trouble/pain/injustice and we know why it's a fallen world full of sinful people, but he showed us how to walk through it by following him..look at the wonders of creation again order and design does not happen by chance just like your car was not the result of a whirlwind in a wreckers yard that somehow put everything in the right place and fuel in the tank ..yes God is alive he is no respecter of persons but of principles and he promises to meet all our needs if we honor his principles.

Yes, I understand you. For example, I have prayed for 3 years that God would send me a wife but I don't even have friends. So if I would tell that God loves us and cares for us, I would kinda feel a liar. It's even shameful to admit that I believe in such God. But to answer your question, yes you can believe that God exists, and you can even find historical proof for the Bible and even from non-Christian sources, and you can find even scientific articles that prove that God exists. So it would make sense to believe that He exists, but you can't take His help for granted. He has His own logic and timing, and sometimes He just doesn't give a **** when you're starving. Just don't renounce Jesus because then He will send you to hell when you die, and don't stop praying because then He would blame you for not praying hard enough when you starve to death.

Sorry if it's not what I was supposed to post here, but I am just talking from my experience.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
