Faith does work for everyone. you say you prayed for things that never happened. Ever asked yourself why? I guess then you never knew God personally. You believed in God but if you knew him you should know that everything has a purpose. Many of our preayers are very very selfish and if they happened they could harm us more than benefit us. God knows the final outcome and the consecuences of our wishes and knows which ones benefit us and which ones dont. This makes us mad especially me and we start arguing with god things like why cant that girl be my girlfriend, or why cant i have that big house instead of this lame apartment, or why do i have to back down if that guy insulted me, i want to kick his butt. well lets analyze it. it didnt happen because god knew that if that girl became my girl she would of have cheated on me and made me suffer a lot more than what i suffered giving her up. God made me stay in my apartment because i could confortably pay it and have good money left to spend in other necesary things, with the big house i could easily go into bankruptcy. and also if i punched the guy and beat the sh** out of him, he could later find me crossing the street and run me over with his car. What im saying is that if we know God personally we will understand when the answer is no even if we throw a tantrum or two. In the end we know his desicion is the best for us. If it helps, look at it like a good loving father that knows whats best for his son. Most christians like me are a bit rebelious but in the end we learn the hard way. God also disciplines those that he loves especially with the consecuences or our acts
