Fancy yourself as an agony aunt? Add your answer to this question! A
reader, anonymous, writes (4 January 2009): I am having a little trouble with your question in that it seems as if you're using God as a genie. You don't make a wish, say a prayer and BOOM! it will come true.
God does always answer... perhaps not in your time frame, perhaps not even the answer you want. Also, lets not forget too that our lives are the culmination of decisions we've made. So, there is very much a thing of God helping those who help themselves.
There are times when things happen in our lives that at the time seem horrible. Sometimes its a matter of decisions we've made and then when we've goten ourselves in a great big mess, we want to pray to God to miraculously get us out of it. Doesn't work that way. You pray for strength. You pray for help, you pray for guidance. But getting some kind of Deux ex machina type response from God just isn't going to happen, most of time.
Anyway, that my 2 cents worth from someone whose an Agnostic.

maybe a better question is 'why do i need a god' what's missing, am i depressed/in trouble etc. I will state i'm not religious, i personally beleive that we must all take responsibility for our own selves. however the phrase 'finding god' is riddled with non specifics that it's just not a quantifiable thing, not like finding your car keys! face your problems and do good for other and you'll find peace, but probably not God, no offence to beleivers, i'm just stating my view.
to beleivers..god bless
athiests... may your destiny be your own doing

 "A male reader, anonymous,"
is it asking too much for a Reason? for an explainiation? as apposed to just being removed or sencored for no good reason?
I have no been 'nasty' towards to mods, i have complied with their requests which the few who have commented and messaged me i respect, however there are still many who need their big boy hair to grow in. much like yourself "A male reader, anonymous," you seem to know of me and the mods rather well yet you hide behind a blank face.
i didn't tell this guy posting that his religion and god is laughable and that we're all going to hell in a hand basket.
all i am asking and bringing to everyones attention is that there needs to be more reasoning behind delted posts.
is that so much to ask?... apparently yes.

If I may steal one of your christian words, Amen, isn't that the whole point of Dear Cupid. Arranging a good relationship with your dog, your husband, your lover, or your God, isn't that the heart of this website..... Opinions from diverse people from all around the world, rich man, poor man beggar or thief, helping all to find love and strong emotional and sexual/spiritual fulfilling relationships to bring more joy and happiness into the world....
Yep caller, you do the sowing and we will reap and pass it on to other people who have problems in relationships.

 when it comes to god you have to be patient, it kinda reminds me of that joke. a man says to god, "lord to you how long is a 100 years", the lord replies "about a secound." then the man asks "lord to you how much is a million dollers" the lord replies "about a doller." then the man asks "lord can have a doller." and the lord replies "sure just give me a secound." lol, i always loved that one.

reader, anonymous, writes (30 December 2008): Dear Cupid, a site for people looking for advice with sexual and relationship issues. I'm an atheist, this guy wants to make a relationship with God, some people prefer to do that than have sex with people or fall in love with human beings. I don't have any problems with the question at all...
Good luck in your search, and if it doesn't work for you, it doesn't work. Your a person who probably doesn't believe in God, like me and Dr Vendetta and many other people in the world. You want to believe, so get busy, get involved in Christian communities, work hard at this prayer thing, and see what happens for you. Good luck in your search, no matter how it turns out, and remember they do say God works in mysterious ways.

I know you enjoy the site and will support them! So please Doc, refrain from nasty comments towards them!AS FOR THE POSTER: Your question is not APPROPRIATE to this site; here the uncles and aunts are trying to help people with relationship problems. I suggest you contact you minister at church and discuss this with him or find some site on the internet relating to religion and to questions regarding that. I do hope you find your answer, maybe you should go look for it in your Bible.

I think the fool wrote this question.I'm not a believer in god. However as blunt as the saying goes.. you made your bed.. lie in it. If you decide its not for you then so be it.Also any what ever mod is not posting my posts and not even telling me, kindly grow a pair of balls and tell me why as apposed to hiding befind your power which is ironically much the same as this guys question.

 Some people spend their lives praying to find God. Spirituality and finding God (or whomever you're finding) is such a personal things and goes at a very personal pace. Praying, like meditation, takes practice, dedication and patience.

Seriously TIME should have no bearing on prayers. Giving up on finding God could be like giving up on finding you.
Don't know what is underneath your question, nor do i need to know, but NEVER GIVE UP. Time! tic tic tic its only man made. Where a watch for the physical life but not for the spiritual....watches not needed.

I'm not sure what you mean, but it sounds like maybe you are seeking an answer in response to your prayers. To answer your question, you can't put a time limit on God because he gives you what you need when you need it, and he does it in a way that man will never understand. The only thing that is important is that you have faith in him and he will see you through.

reader, anonymous, writes (29 December 2008): Wow.. great question.. I don't know, but maybe you could try to help us with the answer by doing it yourself. Start to find time everyday to start praying, pray for as long as you can. Come back and tell us if you find God, and tell us how long it took for him to come and touch your life. I think the only way to find out is by trying it yourself.
