Dear God,
I eat a minimalistic diet and smoke very little.
I don't want to be fat or in a stealth war.
If you cannot help with this,just let me go the way of the dead and that's that.
I don't want to be this way,fat or (edited for vulgar content, Obadiah).
When I prayed for death all I got was a diseased pain in my prostate.
Either kill me or deliver my prayer.
Amen.

You can't make demands on God.
He has plans for you.
Get use to it.
Some wonderful things are to become of your life.
You are his servant.
He will mold you into a power house for Jesus in Jesus holy name.
Thank him and praise him that he cares that much about you.
It's time to call on his strength and his power and stand firm in your faith.
Find a promise of God in the Bible and stand firm on it.
The devil must flee.
Amen!
 
If God wants me to just sit back and be some puppet spectacle I'd rather fall by the wayside.
 
Aaron Adams (and to all members), we sense that you are frustrated with something and we will (and I have) prayed for you. However the description of this, the Prayer Requests and Praises forum, states this particular forum is a place to "share our praise and prayers". That means it is not a forum to insult or put down God, nor is it a forum to debate or challenge the validity or fairness of God's actions or dealings with us. Our Terms of Service section 1.1 states in part that this is a place for "fruitful discussions", so please let's try to make this a more "fruitful" discussion.

Jesus never said there would not be tribulation in this world.
We don't know why there is. We all experience it.
He just promised to stay by us and help us to bear all.
Don't let the enemy have the victory -
Be strong in your love of God - He loves you even when things are bad.
We won't understand everything till we get to heaven.
Imagine life without Him...

God didn't promise days without pain
Laughter without sorrow, or sun without rain,
But God did promise strength for the day
Comfort for the tears and a light for the way.
 
I am just. I'm useless. I have nothing of use,and people are always analysising me drinking coke and juice. Okay obadiah. I don't want to live. The one before me I have heard,he passed away submitting to the authorities. I just. Cannot bear to be...alive if you put it in terms we know. I just wish I was slimmer,more beautiful,not a fat person with a bald head but in life the only people that get anywhere are those with strength. Luck of the draw. I just wish life was you get what you put in because I'd be ruluckking by now if that was the case.
Obadiah do whatever you like with this post. I'm going out for a smoke. I'm tired of this discussion. See you around.

God is not Santa Claus.
He is the creator of the universe.
Sometimes when things are bad, it's possible to get upset with Him.
We go to Him in prayer and soon the anger will subside. He's our friend, sometimes
we get angry with friends.
As we go along our road, we learn to trust God more and more
and to accept whatever befalls us.
This does not make us a puppet -
after all, we're not in heaven yet...

You're bald?
So is Bruce Willis.

Know what to do when you feel like you do right now?
Go to a Children's Hospital and walk up and down the halls.
That always helps to snap one back to reality.

We are praying for you.

By the way, since you're new and as an explanation, when I use red font as above it's my way of saying I'm speaking as a moderator of this forum. When I use black font I'm speaking personally as myself, as any other member would. So as for me personally, I sense your frustration and am praying that God will bring you to a place of acceptance of His will for your life, whatever that may be. I've personally found that when I finally come to a place of acceptance of His will and willingness to follow Him wherever He leads, that He usually blesses me with something wonderful and unexpected. It's my prayer that you will also find this truth in God.

"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28)

Dear Aaron Adams, the prophet Jonah had such feelings also.

Jon 4:1 . . it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.

Jon 4:3 Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.

Jon 4:4 Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry?

Jon 4:8 And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live.

Jon 4:9 . . And he (Jonah) said, I do well to be angry, even unto death.

Elijah felt forsaken in 1 Kings 19:10. "I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away."

Can we pray for you? Does our Father have something yet for you? Thanks.
 
All I pray. Is to ... If this is life. Just live until its my time to go. The guy from ZBC. Go his way. Because I am just like him. Useless. I mean. I have tried everything. Reflexology,psychiatric therapy,smoking. Still can't get right. God. Do whatever you like. Amen.
 
Dear Aaron Adams, having suffered with suicide headaches for over thirty years, and at times wished for death, but God had something better for me; the opportunity to be a part of the very bride of Christ. It was those very trials of my faith keeping me close in prayer, and in need of God’s grace in my life. My dissatisfaction became opportunity in God’s hand as it is He who gave Jesus for men that I could have life and that more abundantly. We are His very special work in progress, and as scripture below states, He will not fail, or forsake you. Take all your cares to the Lord and leave them there as an old hymn goes.

Eph 5:29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church.
Song 4:7 Son 4:7 Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee.
Deut 31:6 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
1 Sam 16:7 But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.

Job said it this way:
Job 3:1 After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.
Job 3:2 And Job spake, and said,
Job 3:3 Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived.
Job 14:1 Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.
Was there a difference in how God saw Job? Job 1:1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.

Dear Father, Aaron Adams has come for prayer, and I come to You boldly in his behalf asking that You show Him the power and healing available to him in Christ, and above all the grace and love You have for him just as he is. He is discouraged, he wants to give up, and yet Your promises to us is that Your work in us is to conform us into the very image of Him who died for us. Please help this dear man as only You can, and I give You the praise now and forever in the precious name of my Savior Jesus. Thank You. Amen.
God loves you Aaron, and so do we. :wave2
