Question
We own our own business and several weeks ago our business had started to loose accounts. It has gotten bad and we hardly make our bills. I pray all the time, pray with others, read the Bible, attend Church and cry a lot. Why hasn't God answered my prayers? Things have gotten a little better, but not much. Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning.
Hi Nancy,
Praying all the time, reading the bible, attending church and crying a lot will not help your business. There is nowhere in the bible that says those things will help your business. If you want to be successful in business you need to apply yourself to good business principles.
God doesn't promise you success in business based merely on your relationship with Him. If you want Him to bless you in business you need to find out what the Word of God says about business and put it into action. There is a lot in the bible about being successful in business, but none of the things you mentioned apply.
I feel for you as I know first hand how a failing business can be a destructive force in your life, but you need to know that your religion is not the answer.
Blessings!
Matthew.

Expertise
The Assemblies of God in Australia is one of my favorite denominations. It has some variations from churches with the same name in other countries, but most of these are subtle. I can answer questions about the history and operations of this denomination in many countries.
Experience
I have ministered in 23 countries, often in AoG churches. I was trained for cross cultural ministry by the World Harvest Institute, which is the Missionary Orientation Program of the Assemblies of God in Australia.
Education/Credentials
I hold a B.A in Psychology/Sociology, and am currently completing my Masters in Teaching. I am a Graduate of the World Harvest Institute Missionary Orientation Program and have obtained other qualifications in Youth Work, Workplace Assessment and Training, Mentoring Church Planters, and many more.
