Why God?

I failed the practical part of my nursing test today. I studied and prayed and believed God would guide me with knowledge & favor. I feel so depressed and worthless right now I don't know what to do. I really need to get working in this field asap because we need the money. I just feel like I can't catch a break --everything has been falling apart for the last couple of months. I feel like I am getting kicked while I'm down. I just don't understand why God is doing this!! I keep praying but the answer isn't coming. Why? What am I supposed to do?

Claudia,
I am so sorry for your disappointment! I was praying for you to do well. Can you take the test again? Sometimes we just have to get up and try again and again..I will continue to pray for you.
" Lord,
Claudia is frustrated, sad,overwhelmed, tired, and feeling dumb,angry , feeling like You let her down, like all of us have felt at one time or another. You, Jesus , are fully human , like we are, and you know what she is feeling. These disappointment are part of humanity that you understand well. We are fragile creatures! Please help her. Let her feel you come to her, wrap your arms around her and pour out her feelings to You, so that You can comfort and encourage her to try again.
I pray that you rebuke the enemy from playing with her mind, or using this to build any case against you, like the crafty serpent is constantly trying to do. Loose the spirit of Truth in her mind, to be able to believe You are Good , no matter what twists and turns occur in her life.
I pray that her husband speak kind, sweet, helpful words to her, and that he comforts her in ways that only a man can with his wife. I pray you prompt her to respond to her right now in a way that builds his wife up.
In Jesus Name,
Amen

I understand what you are feeling, Claudia, I really do. For the last 3 years nothing was working out for me; It seems that none of my prayers were being answered. I honestly was very angry at God for allowing my life to get that way. I even wanted to give up on him. But God later showed me that the only way for him to build our faith is through trial, when things are going bad and we can't really feel his presence. However, he is there more than he has ever been, strengthening us and pulling for us to not give up. He wants us to learn to love him and serve him when things are as bad as they can be. Why? Because he longs for unconditional love, like what Job had for him. Job felt alone, but God was there all the time, just watching him and pulling for him to not give up. There were many blessings waiting for Job, more than he could imagine.

It's the same with us. When we get through to the other side, God will pour down on us more than what we had been asking for in the first place. But his primary goal for is spiritual growth. There may be some kinks in your spiritual armor that need to be ironed out. We all have them. In time, when God is finished with you, you will be able to recognize that his presence was there all the time. It's just that sometimes he chooses not to answer us so that we can learn to just depend on his word without questions. He wants us to learn to live by faith entirely. Once we learn that lesson, he'll end the trial.

Again, sorry about your tests. But I wouldn't give up if I were you. Persevere to the end; and bless God eventhough you failed. Thank him anyway,and he will do something even greater for you. Certainly, he will take care of your family's financial issues- that's his job! Just wait for him.

God bless you, sister! Will be praying for you!
