Answer
Alice,

I am sure that you are aware that God will never leave you. He is there for you to turn to. If you are asking a psychic for help then you will not receive an answer from God. If you continue to rely on something that God has condemned then you may not receive the answers you are looking for. When you are living in sin then God will not be able to look at you because God can’t look at sin. Remember when Christ was on the cross God had to turn from Him so you need to remember that. You need to find some friends that will help you to stay away from the sinful behavior. You need to have someone you can call when you feel like you are going to waiver. The other thing to remember is that God may answer you in many ways. You need to be in tune to hear what God has to tell you. God can use many different ways if God has something to tell you He will get it to you. You have to listen to friends and even other people in your life because God can use anyone even those that are not saved. Just remember that when you turn from a sinful life and give your life to God it will take some time to lose all the old bad habits. When God does not answer you may have to consider that you are being taught patience so also take that into consideration before you say that God is not answering.
