I tired your method the exact way you describe as a god fearing Christian and got nothing, absolutely nothing. This was sometime( 6 months to a 2 years) before I lost my faith altogether when I realized that the god of the bible sounds exactly like a abusive husband.If you did try it 'my way' you would still be working on it. for my way follows the example in Luke 11. In Luke 11 we are told to 'knock' (or continue to ask and seek) till we get what we are looking for. You stopped far short. Therefore you could not have done it 'my way.'
I'm sure if you are use to doing things 'your way' and God will not acknoweledge you when you do things 'your way' He could easily be labled as abusive...
