1. I believe that God exists and He draws closer to those who seek Him. Until 5 years ago, I thought that God was some distant entitiy who did not care about me. I suffered from a painful spine problem called "Spondylitis". When someone mentioned to me that Jesus will heal every one who asks (not just the so called super spiritual people), and one day while praying I felt someone touch me and all pain left me instantly. You may decide not to believe it. I am fine with that. But I am pain free and need not take those strong pain killers that I had to take each day for 18 years.
2. I pray to God banking on His mercy and not based on my sinless nature. If God decides not to hear the prayers of sinful men, then not even one person's prayers will be heard.
I cannot say this for sure. But sometimes enemies are allowed to take upper hand if a nation sins too much. 9/11 could be a result of this or it could be that God chose to allow the freewill of those terrorists. God is in control but He does allow some extent of freewill.
Sometimes I wonder why he saves some people who attempt suicide while sometimes He allows some to die exercising their freewill.
If everything can be understood of God, He is not much of a God isnt He?
Pls feel free to disagree. I have my views, you have yours.
