Hi guys.
I'm going through a really hard time at the moment and I can't feel, hear or see God. I need him and he is not here. I have been praying and nothing is happening. I want him to do something obvious. Being a Christian of only 2 years, i'm not sure if God does obvious.
Can anyone help me?

All I can say is just keep praying and reading the Bible. He has spoken to me and changed my life dramatically through those two means.
Hey wvpanhead, thats a very good point. I listened to Whispers in the dark, I have listened to it before but never properly listening to the lyrics and now know how applicable they are right now in my life. Thanks.

hi! i thought maybe you'd like this song :)
She's right
@WVPanhead: You're right.
Hi. I know what it's like--not "feeling" God. I believe every Christian has been there. Don't give up hope. My dad (who is also my pastor) was ministering a few days ago in church, and he said that sometimes we don't "feel" God, and maybe that's because God wants us to go through a time of faith--a time where we don't rely on our five natural senses (touch, sight, hearing, etc.) when it comes to knowing God is there. Seasons. Everyone goes through them. Maybe a season when you "feel" God in everything, and maybe a season when you just have to have faith that He's there. In Hebrews 13, He promises all Christians that He will neither leave them nor forsake them. Ever heard Skillet's hit single "Whispers in the Dark"? You should listen to that, really get into the lyrics. It helped me when I felt that God wasn't there. It reminded me that He IS there, and He will always be! Just press on...remain steadfast. He is and will be there for you.
Okay thanks, I will try that
God is everywhere. I was once in your shoes. I felt as if i was all alone. I continued to pray and pray and pray. Eventually I realized that i needed to look at the small things like the sunset for example. It reminded me where ever i am. God is there. You just need to look in between the lines.
Kind of not, i guess.
can you talk to your Pastor maybe? He is there, He'll reveal himself to you when you least expect it!
I think I felt him at church tonight, but I still feel really sad and angry, like i guess its situational depression, i feel rubblish, un-motivated, thats proberly cos people have been putting me down at tech, telling me i'm not good enough, not smart enough. I feel horrible :( High emotions and not of the good kind either. I feel so lost at the moment, and when I cry out to god, it doesnt seem like he is doing anything :(
Becca don't lose faith God is always there he always comes when we need him the most just be patient and KEEP praying God will show up before you know it I'll pray for you and please don't lose faith:)
The hardest thing about being a Christian is waiting for God to act in our situation. Even the Bible says be still and know he is God. Patience is not a part of our natural make-up but God never seems to be in a hurry. The ability to trust him even when we can't sense his presence is often called maturity.., I call it frustration. Slow down and listen for the still, small voice, you will hear it eventually. Even so, know that he is always with you.
Christian music is pretty epic. Its all I listen too, though if i'm in a bad place I listen to Skillet, Kutless and Linkin Park. I feel lost and alone, its hard to talk to people you know for fear of judgement, hence the question on here. I love moves in the Spirit, they are awesome. I can go to church, cover up what i'm feeling, feel kind of happy and when church and has finished I go back to the way it was before church feeling sad, maybe i'm doing something wrong.
I have asked him for a sign or something like that and nothing happens, i will keep looking. i just don't want this to turn into another crisis of faith, cos that was really hard :(
God sends the Holy Spirit to help us! He's ALWAYS WITH US! kinda like the wind, if you ask him, you can feel him, even tho you can't see him.
I have been where you are and let me tell you God does do obvious. I don't know how your life is right know but I had been a christian about a year and a half when thoughts of suicide started to cloud my judgement and like you I didn't see, feel, or hear God but God was there with me because one night I was playing with my radio half mad cuz all the stations were playing really annoying music all but one station it was a christian music station and since then I have listened to nothing else.
I went to my first concert 6 months later truly felt the spirit move like I have never felt before.
GOD DOES DO OBVIOUS just don't be looking for the writing on the wall! And GOD IS ALL WAYS WITH YOU!
