Wow, Les, we will pray that your spiritual issues are resolved.
I understand that most prayers go unanswered, at at least it seems. However the Scriptures also explain why that happens.

Do you feel that prayer has been a waste of time or do you feel unworthy of being heard by God? Do you not like Him much at the moment? I'm asking because I've dealt with depression before and it sounds like that could be a possibility. You can regard things all kinds of cockeyed and wayward ways from the pit of depression. If I am way off track, I apologize.
Yahweh/Yahshua/Jesus has kept me alive so far,and I DON'T KNOW WHY.
AND it is a wonder what Mr.Finck seen in me to make me one of the moderators.
I always think I would be more grateful to have met Our Creator when on a morphine drip in the hospital, to get me out of minimum wage/time wasting life and still surrounded by idiots.
Cancer has isolated me further, which I am grateful, as I was on the edge at the time, willing to kill for other white guys (youngsters) just so they could secure employment.
Glad I didn't. Very glad I did not mention my plans.
They turned out to NOT be friends, and later abandoned me after they learned I had cancer..
It all worked out.
I am humbled and perplexed.
Somewhere, I read / learned, that we should not bother the Creator with every wish/hope,
Myself, I became a loner a recluse, as i HATE being used by and bothered by many others.
I also have NEVER begged /asked others for help...
ONLY my Dad respected that, when he knew I was broke, and walked 4 hours across the city to wash my clothes at home (I( did not tell him at the time, about my 2 of my 3 so-called white power friends I lived with had stolen my money to buy weed).[the third who has disappeared since, was the only sensible man there, even though I never knew for sure what his spiritual slant was].
If we are in Yahweh's image, than maybe He is the same? I will guess He does not want to to be bombarded with daily requests that are not part of his master plan.
Miss Ellis,
health issues are 50/50 in my view.
They are either a test of faith, or an attack from satan to get rid of Yahweh's children.
Any prayers in these cases would be very welcome I think by Our Father.
