If I were you, I would turn to God and present my case to Him. We cannot understand the great things He does, and to His miracles there is no end.
It's my belief that God answers all our prayers. However, sometimes the answer is "No" or "Not yet." But miracles do happen, we just don't always recognize them.
When I was a young mother, money was very tight. There was a time when the electric company was going to shut off our power. I hadn't told anyone about this, not even my husband. I was ashamed, feeling responsible. I was the one who paid the bills. If I'd been better at budgeting maybe we wouldn't have fallen so far behind. If I hadn't stopped working when our third son was born, there would have been more money, etc. I had 2 days to come up with enough money to keep the electricity on and no way to get that money.
I went to church and prayed. I cried. I prayed some more. During this time of my life, pretty much the only time I really prayed was when I was desperate, so I wasn't really expecting an answer since I wasn't very devout.
After I got home, my mother called and invited us to dinner. Well, at least that was a meal I wouldn't have to worry about paying for. I don't remember exactly when she did it but at some point during the afternoon, she handed me an envelope and said, "I think you need this." Inside was a check for the exact amount I needed to keep our power on. Nobody knew about this, except me and God.
He hears and He answers.
I agree with your comment Cindy. A little story of my own----My boss was very ill and hospital not sure to make it. He had a replacement pastor taking over for the station. He saw this as his chance to change the station and everyone in it. Many curel things happened. I thought I was trapped in this job not sure if my loving boss was ever going to be coming back or not. Earlier in the fall I had gone to a convention where I met a lady who wanted me to work in her business but she was not ready yet to hire anyone. In Januaury an unexpected call came. "Can you come to work for us " how soon can you start ? I was shocked and overjoyed at the same time. God does answer prayer. Wanted to do this type of work for 7 years but the door did not open. He answers our prayers and wants but in HIS timing not ours.
