When God Seems Silent 
Ten years ago, it seemed as though God had packed up, moved far away, and left me no forwarding address. I was unable to sense his promptings and overall presence as I searched for him during trying times. I felt abandoned, confused, and terribly alone.

I wish the author could have shared more about her emotional turmoil, as I believe she went through much more than is mentioned. It will help greatly. Also can she please write an article on why some people are single, yet have the burning desire to get married. Why God choose some of us to be single if the desire for a partner does not fade.

God didnt answer my prayers.Where is God when it hurts and Dissapointment with God(Philip Yancey)are my favourite books.They say when God doesnt answer prayer is because he wants us to be patience or because he has got a better plan:May be true in most cases ,but sometimes i feel like its just an excuse.There are times when i feel that i need God and i need him very baadly yet there are times when i feel like why complain my troubles to God, when God doesnt seem to answer. I lose all hope in God.I wont bother God with my prayers now.I do whatever i want.whatever i like.Heaven is not meant for me.God may put us in a trial beyond our endurance. As i am goin through this journey i began to doubt God`s existance.

great relief message to everyone going one thing or the other no matter what we passing through god is able solve it as long we focus on god knowing that he is our source. i ve been through all kind s of problems even when i should have given up i still beleive there is nothing cannot do. he is faithful and reliable he cannot fail he is faithful . when we pas through probles or diffculities god wants us to learn a lesson or lessons and he wants to test our faith and also our faith that is from dr jennings okey j ekeanyanwu center for contemporary issues and policy studies abuja fct nigeria
