I read your comments and want you to know that I understand and respect what you are saying...but the thing is that it takes more than just going through the motions (if that's what you in fact did - I am not you and do not presume to know what your feelings were when you attended church and prayed). You have to really develop a relationship with God. Like any relationship, it takes time and effort.
He isn't necessarily going to suddenly appear before you and tell you what you need to know. He's much more clever than that. He puts people in your life that He works through - even in places like this... and He doesn't do things in our time frame or the way we think it needs to be done. God has a very distinct purpose and way of doing things. What we think we may need or want may not be what's best for us. Pray for patience and God might stick you in a traffic jam every day for a month. You prayed for it, so work on it. You see what I mean?
Just talk to him. Like a friend, or a father. Trust. Believe. And keep working at it. Thank Him, ask Him questions. Tell him how you feel. Every day. Most importantly - be sincere.. if you're mad at him.. tell him. He listens and He provides - always.
