Biblical Answer

There are several reasons why God may not be helping us in the way we want or expect. One reason is that we may not have a right-standing relationship with Him. God has accomplished and provided for our salvation, but we must enter into a relationship with Him to receive His help. Another reason is that we may not be fully trusting in God's goodness and sovereignty. We may assume that God is making us jump through hoops or that He is not good because things are not going as we want them to. However, God's goodness and sovereignty are not based on our circumstances, but on His character. God is with us in the midst of our struggles, and He is working all things together for our good. We must learn to trust in God's goodness and sovereignty, even when things are not going as we want them to.

Another reason why God may not be helping us is that we may not be listening to Him or seeking His guidance. We may be trying to figure things out on our own or relying on our own strength and wisdom. However, God's help is not just about giving us good things or doing helpful things for us. It's about being with us in the midst of our struggles and guiding us through them. We must learn to listen to God and seek His guidance, even when things are not going as we want them to. We must also learn to trust in God's sovereignty and goodness, and to recognize that He is working all things together for our good.

Finally, we must recognize that God's help is not just about us, but about His character and His glory. We must learn to see God's help as a means of glorifying Him, rather than just getting what we want. We must also learn to trust in God's goodness and sovereignty, even when things are not going as we want them to. We must learn to say, "But the Lord is my helper this very moment, even in my present circumstance." We must learn to trust in God's goodness and sovereignty, and to recognize that He is working all things together for our good. In this way, we can find peace and joy in the midst of our struggles, and we can trust in God's goodness and sovereignty.
