What did I do wrong?
December 18, 2010 at 11:11 am
Just got back from hospital after a night in agony due to a recurring problem I have with my Pancreas. I prayed all night and yet the pain didn't leave but after a couple of hours in the Hospital and some medication I now have the pain under control.
So what did I do wrong when praying? Was it because god dosen't love me? Or was I praying to the wrong god? Or was god busy? Hmmmm

God entered into the medicine and made you better.

I think Min got it. If god were real (pfft.) and the stories about him were true, then it is obvious that he is a jerk. He was laughing the whole time.
On a side note, I hope you feel better.

The Christian God is a personal God who hears and answers prayers. How they account for tsunamis and earthquakes killing innocents, who knows?
He was probably too busy mind reading the rest of the world and figuring out the next natural disaster to allow to happen.
"God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8).
"Always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you" (1 Peter 3:15).

It didn't work because you didn't truly believe it would work. How very naive of you to think that God would help an atheist. Psst.
PS, I hope you're okay.

He was too busy helping me finish this difficult mission on the Xbox, which is obviously more important than your pain.

Which god did you prayed to? Had you prayed to illuvatar, you certainly could get the healing... Or you could have take some athelas..
