You must have heard and read guides like how to pray to God for help or how to ask God for help, but if those guides worked, why hasn’t God helped us, or has he, she, or they?
I’ve heard people offer prayers such as God, please help me through this difficult time, and God, please help me with my life. One would ask, why are people offering such prayers where much of what they do is ask God for help? Well, I think if you look at the news, you’d have an idea how messed up it is!
It becomes more problematic that after praying for help, you wait for years, and after a long wait, you turn up with one more question: Why won’t God help me? This question carries the problem that borders the idea of God and whether or not they care about us.
Why Won’t God Help Me?
Suppose you’re having a good time, good for you. But know that as it appears, it isn’t good all around. It’s no news that some people dismiss the idea that other people are having a difficult time dealing with their lives in these habitats and put the blame on them. Isn’t that the same thing some preachers do when they tell people they aren’t doing enough to warrant God’s blessings?
Fairly, if one needs financial help, they should get something useful to do with their life, and if someone has a health condition, they should find a way to get medical care. Right. Sadly, not everyone can. When I say can, I’m not referring solely to ability but opportunity. You will say they should create opportunities for themselves, but do you know or understand what everyone goes through?

I just realized that I’ve digressed from the main course to address the mindset some privileged have toward those who find themselves in very unpleasant conditions. The reason why they appeal to a higher authority is to help them salvage the situation, but if you’ve noticed, nothing much changes aside from how they feel.
Problems continue to persist, and so does pain. It seems, according to the Bible, when God made her know that she was going to experience pain in childbearing, more so an increased pain, that God really meant it. So when you ask for help and it seems nothing is happening, it could just be God wants you to continue in pain. Why?
Well, some say it’s a good thing. But let’s face it: Is this God all-knowing, all-powerful, and all-loving? In what way exactly? Is it in saving people who believe that Jesus Christ died for their sins and allowing others to suffer in the loss of hope for another world those believers anticipate in consolation? What are they doing about the now?
Interestingly, whether in faith or not, people go through a lot, praying for God’s help but to no avail. We feel depressed, disturbed, and afraid of what could happen the next moment, and when we cry to our God, saying, God, please help me, we get no responses. Sometimes we produce responses for ourselves and say it’s a God out there speaking to our minds.
But why won’t God help me? Why won’t they help us? Perhaps they can, did, or can’t, and so they won’t. Or it could be that they do for some and not for others, or we are here to have an experience existing as it was meant to be.
The struggle with identity, the backlashes for being oneself, the pressure to conform, the struggle to survive, and all that make up this life confound us. We become depressed and ask God to help us with this depression, but what difference does it make whether or not we ask if we won’t get a real and direct answer?
God, please help me.
This is no joke! God, please help me through this difficult time. You know that if you always did like some say you do, it most likely wouldn’t be this way, especially considering what we think you are. Or are you done with this world and only interested in the world to come?
Recently, I had a conversation with someone to the point that I had to tell them about the dilemmas I had to deal with. It’s about the challenges of knowing who you really are: whether you’re an all-loving lifegiver or a killer bean. One of them told me you were done with this world and waiting for the next, but is it true? Why should I be asking this question? You knew about it already, or didn’t you?
I wonder why you didn’t tell me about it, knowing fully well that I’ve been trying to wrap my head around it. Oh! I remember they said you’re done, but how did they know this thing that everyone else didn’t? What channel did they have access to that everyone couldn’t? If it’s the holy spirit, then you’re still here. I don’t know. Maybe the Bible, but it’s worsened the whole thing.
If only you spoke to everyone in one voice, perhaps I wouldn’t be dealing with this dilemma. Other people may or may not care, because they already found their truths and are comfortable with those, but I’m interested in the truth. Don’t tell me it’s a short claim in the book; you know it doesn’t help a bit. I’m really trying to get over this thing, but interestingly, this is a diminutive piece of the problem. What about my problems, Lord? God, please help me with my life.
God Help Us
Some people say that you show up sometimes to intervene in their matters, but is it really you? Why not do it for all of us? Do you have a standard for your operation? Why not reveal it to all of us? Is it your will that we’ll need to go to a man on the pulpit to spit your words into our ears? Why not speak directly to us? What did you put into their bodies to hear from you that you can’t put in us? We all know they’re no better than us and could just be telling us good and strong lies for the good of the Church by claiming that you spoke to them.
I gasp, but here we are! I don’t want to go on talking about how they told us you helped them and then exploited us for their selfish gains. I don’t want to go there because I can’t say if you’re even listening to us. I’ve noticed you don’t do anything about it. Is it because they are your “anointed ones” and we are not? Instead of punishing them for what they do, you’d rather honor their curses on those who condemn their actions. But do you even do that? I doubt it, but that’s what they want us to believe, is it not?
I don’t want to talk about the disasters happening around us, the people suffering and dying every day, the orphans going without food and parental care, and all the wickedness and messes in this world you made, if you really did. I want to say that the people reading and listening to this message have problems they have been trying to solve and ones they may never resolve, and many of them have been asking for your help. What are you doing about it? Are you taking pleasure in or helplessly feeling our pains as well? Or are you playing the blame game for your mess?
