Does God...just not like me?

[iLOVE]

I mean... I tried. I prayed that I would overcome my addiction. No one would help me with it and I mean no one. So I turned to God. However, soon after praying, I continued to eat. Then I gave up. I repeatedly went back to God and alternated from "God will help me", to "I'm so useless." but it was to no avail. I'm just scared that this eating addiction will turn for the worst. I just don't understand how prayer works.I believe in God greatly, but when I pray, I still feel empty because my sins repeat nonstop. I don't understand.

Blessings,

All that you have prayed for has been done for you! The key is to make God first! He must know you truly love Him! The Bible says, "These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is made up only of rules taught by men." Everything by Grace takes place by faith. Faith only comes by hearing and reading the word of God daily.

God said He will never ever impute sin(s) on the Believer who became the righteousness of Christ by faith when they became born-again. All believers have been seated in Heavenly places. So there is no need to keep trying to get victory since we already have victory.

Remember what Paul said, "when I am weak then I am strong." When we are at our weakest we see our need for our Savior and He lifts us up.

"8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. 9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.†Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong." (2 Corinthians 12:8-10, ESV)

infinitejewel, you may find it interesting that in various places, our desire and need for food is related to our desire and need for God. John 6:35, John 4:13-14, Matthew 5:6, Matthew 6:11, Psalm 42:1, Deuteronomy 8:3, Luke 4:3-4.

God is always there with you helping you. You just can't see what is happening. God may want you to go undercover for him.

Hi

the true God does not hate anyone of the people/souls, but unfortunately He was even till now in a state of somnolence/drowse (reckoned from the seventh day thitherwards) whence He was not able to save all humans completely, however thanks to God there is a deliverance by Jesus Christ the Lord, because the faith of Jesus can much more wake God, and the thing which can further help you first is the renouncement of all hitherto existing spiritual/religious things which you eventually followed so far - this is something like the spiritual variant of disposal of garbage from trash, second you can fill in/spend your leisure time with conducive activities, e.g.: faith, sports, walking in nature, etc.

Blessings
