Firstly I'm not an atheist so please nobody should judge me through that lens.
I'm writing with a really heavy heart I'm totally down and down casted. I'm not moving forward in life I'm just stuck. Even worse around May this year I had a terrible pain on my leg and up till now, the pain have refused to go away ( I'm an aspiring footballer so I can't play football for now) . I believe God can do all things, but whenever I pray he doesn't answer, I'm just tired and frustrated, I've even begged God to make a way for me because I don't want to involve myself in any social vices, yet the status quo still remain,

I don't even know what to do again I'm gradually losing my faith and I don't think I can hold on for long if things continues like this...I just need advice from people who have likely been through worse situations. I need external encouragement because mine is failing me.

Does it mean God doesn't see everything I'm going through in other for him to step in, despite my tears, pleas and Prayers

bros you need to drink cold water and calm down. Your hope as a believer is in Christ and not in what you can become physically.
See, God did not forget you and cannot forget you. You are just passing through life challenges. It's very much normal to be frustrated sometimes, but it will be very wrong to dwell in frustration.
Keep on trying. For you to write this means and that you are still on the right path.

Look for any skill to learn in order to keep yourself engaged, it may be an online skill; since u have a phone or learn any good physical skill. Also, try to look inward and check what you can do very well; apart from football. Start learning how to develop it.
BE HAPPY AND STAY SAFE

1. I believe God can do all things, but whenever I pray he doesn't answer, I'm just tired and frustrated, I've even begged God to make a way for me because I don't want to involve myself in any social vices, yet the status quo still remain,

2. I don't even know what to do again I'm gradually losing my faith and I don't think I can hold on for long if things continues like this...I just need advice from people who have likely been through worse situations. I need external encouragement because mine is failing me.

3. Does it mean God doesn't see everything I'm going through in other for him to step in, despite my tears, pleas and Prayers
1. Contrary to what you have heard and swallowed from listening to your many pastors and mogs, children of God aren't simply those who believe in God, but instead through continuous submission/trust in and obedience of the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, have become Holy/Perfect vessels for God's own Spirit, the Holy Spirit to abide in, and they are those called Sons of God - John 8 vs 31 - 44. Sons of God are those who are set free from God's curse on mankind - Genesis 4 vs 16 - 22. undecided

Anyone can pray, anyone can ask God for things, even unbelievers do, and God's shows mercy to all of them daily too. But God's promise to us through Jesus Christ is only meant for those who belong to Him and are completely submitted to living according to His Will and Law as given to us by Jesus Christ, the one who is Law in the Kingdom of God. undecided

2. Pick up the 4 Gospels, begin to read each of the books and do as Jesus Christ commands His followers to do. The details of God's Will and Law are as written in the Gospels- Matthew, Mark, Luke and John - that is where you find written the terms and conditions of God's Law, Jesus Christ, to you. And it is only through trust and obedience of the Law can you experience Jesus Christ and what He promises to us all. undecided

3. Remember, it was God's curse on man, this for man's sins in the beginning, that is reason for all the pain and suffering in this world. God sees your pain and He waits for you to turn to Him and do as He commands in order that you may become free from the curse. undecided

The curse does not guarantee the same outcomes in this world for everyone so we each have a decision to make as to whether we will continue to struggle to make it through life in our own or whether to submit and allow God have His way, what He has wanted from us since the beginning. undecided

I have just one question? Does he really answer prayer? because apart from being alive I have no other testimony and it's even making me question my being alive like there's no use of being if I continue to live this way
You have to understand that Jesus Christ is a contract agreement between God and individuals who submit and obey His Truth. To those who accept and obey, under that Covenant, God answers all their prayers - He is faithful to the terms and conditions of the agreement which He made through Jesus Christ with us- Matthew 26 vs 28 - 30 undecided

Now, to those who don't belong to Him and those who don't submit to the terms and conditions stipulated in the New agreement, God said He will show mercy to whom He chooses to. undecided

So, knowing that all you get outside of Him is nothing but life. You need to decide whether it is time for you to run wholly under God, submitting to the terms of His agreement fully, or if you want to continue to taking your chances with life as you have it. undecided

I really appreciate your taking your time to give me a piece of wisdom. I'll definitely take your advice
You are welcome.

eight months ego. A girl message me that she is totally tired of life, and she wants to commit suicide. She was damn serious because her father is dead and her mother is poor. She finished OND in a one polytechnic like that but couldn't further to HND as there were no funds available and her sponsor has all ran away. I had to call her and explained to her that she is even lucky to have finished her OND successfully. I advised her to look for job anywhere to hold herself. She luckily found a job. I can tell you that yesterday she sent money to me to give to her mum to buy Christmas stuff and clothes for her siblings.
Now, you can see how God changes situations from point of suicide to becoming a working lady that sends money to her people.

So, just be patient and focused. You will laugh at last.

Make sure you're asking in His will

I thought he created us with free will....He said ask what ye will in my name and it shall be done....So why should I be looking for another will, does it mean I don't have any free will

Stop praying to anything god.

God is not what to be prayed to.

You have to scientifically work out your healing.

For other challenges you have, you must be tough on this earth to face it. No god anywhere listens to prayers, as prayers are useless.
