Have you ever been reading the bible, studying and praying as hard as you could for justice but evil got promoted?
Im not perfect. I have days when i talk a lil too much and when im down. but for the past three years I have been praying and studying the word more than ever and the situation hasnt really improved much. The word teaches not to run or leave a situation but what do you do if things not only stay the same but get worst and the other party seems to thrive.

Perhaps your definition of justice is different from God's. I know that mine is different from yours just from the way that you worded your question. If that is the case, then you would not see that your prayers have been answered - just not the way you wanted them to be.

Its not whether you are praying wrong, but rather who you are praying to. If you have read and understood the bible then you should know that evil is everywhere on earth and it rules here until satans reign is over. There will always be evil that can see good people blooming and want to keep dragging them back down. That is what they do, evil can influence everyone anytime it wants and it will do so to make you turn away from your faith. So in my opinion if things arent getting any better than you are doing something right. Also it may help to say Gods true name, if your praying to someone with all your heart, dont you think it would be polite to talk to your father by using his name? Jehovah God

Why pray?
Closing the Connection
“But know that the Lord has set apart him that is godly for Himself: the Lord will hear when I call unto Him.” Psalm 4:3
If ever there were a reason for you and I to pray, it would be that Jesus told us to pray (see Luke 18:1b).
Yet you may wonder why you need to talk to God about your needs since “your Father knows what things you have need of, before you ask Him” (Matthew 6:8).
Prayer is not overcoming God’s reluctance; it is laying hold of His willingness. It is part of God’s grand scheme that we have been given the privilege to cooperate with God in prayer.
Ephesians 6:18 tells us to pray “in the Spirit.” Any prayer that the Holy Spirit lays upon your heart will be answered, because the prayer that gets to heaven is the prayer that starts in heaven. We just close the circuit.

Keep doing what you do for others. God will answer soon enough for your sake and for your needs. Praying for others whether they change or not is up to God. What matters is what is in your heart and soul. Praying for others is a unselfish act in your part and that is what is important. Let God deal with the aftermath. Care about others and continue to pray for others for the right reasons and not for the wrong ones. Sometimes, God makes changes quickly or slowly. Time is not an issue; so don't be conerned about that. Be concerned about how it makes you feel to be unselfish by praying for others. Now! That is Love.

Pray for others only-- remove yourself and your situations in life when studying and most importantly while in prayer-sacrafice your own need for prayer for the sake of others....once you have then things will change for you. God Bless.

The bible as good as it may seem does not have all the answers sometimes in life you need to get off your knees and take matters into your own hands...Millions of souls who need much more help then you or I need there prayers answered first ..I feel selfish praying for help that is trivial compared to the outright torture that others endure day in and day out ..
