Question:

Why doesnt god listen to us when we need him most? He does reply but why not when it is urgent?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Because that is how he forms your character. Just like the fire tempers steel, lifes tribulations tempers the soul and builds character. If God showed up at your every whim there would be no challenge left for you. Does a Dad show up for his son's algebra exam? Same deal. But the Dad corrects his son's deficiencies later. Hence God replies but not when you feel it is urgent. If he replied any earlier you would become a lazy slob and that would stunt your spiritual growth.
