Truth is, I was totally sincere before. I begged and pleaded for Jesus to help me. I got no answer. I was in a terrible place, emotionally, in tears on nearly a daily basis and Jesus actually did less to comfort me than my teddy bear. When I finally did look for answers about why God wasn't there for me, I realized there is no God and I have to take care of things myself.

God is not fair, no one ever said He was.
Look at it this way. Most people on earth burn him. God has a calloused attitude. Can you blame Him? So he is naturally cautious. Ever notice haw many criminals got to jail
and then find 'God'? Pretty convenient. God knows better and ignores these heathens until they have righted their wrongs and then continued on the righteous path. After a long while, God can feel comfortable in opening up. Rome was not built in a day, God's acceptance is not gained in a day either.
Lastly, how do you know Gods intention was not "I have to take care of things myself". Did you make the right choices when faced with this fork in the road of life?
