i can tell satan has lead you to feel this way, and he's so happy! remember... he led Eve to disobey Jehovah God's words with a lie. the lie that they will NOT die, and were are they now....dead! you said when you were a christian, it never improved your life. what you thought that once you became a christian your life will become perfect? did you NOT read what Jesus had said? (
Matt. 10:22 And you shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endure to the end shall be saved). we will go through hard times ,(
2Cor. 4:8-9 We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed).
ALL of had prayers that seem to take a while before they were answered. Jehovah answers when HE!... feel the time for responding, not when we want it. patience and faith is a virtue. also who were you praying to, because Jesus told us to PRAY to his FATHER. making his name Holy, (
Matt.6:9), not to Jesus. though Jehovah will use Jesus to respond for him ,(
John 14:13,14 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it).
it's NOT the religions in which we should follow, but the words of Jehovah God. also you wanted religion to "improve your life?" it's NOT for any religion to "improve" ones life, it's OUR JOB to improve our lives, especially spiritually. you're allowing satan to make you put the blame on NOT yourself. satan is keeping you from understanding that in the End, NOT "devoting your life to something"... Jehovah God and Jesus. will cause you to lose your life. satan has lead you off the "straight and narrow" path my friend, find your way back before it's too late!.
peace
