| God doesn't answer my questions anymore. Why? Is God still there? |

Yes, God is still there! God is from everlasting to everlasting (Psalm 90:2). He is the same, yesterday, today and forever! (Hebrews 13:8).
It is natural for us to ask questions of God. Job, one of the greatest men in the Bible, had lots of questions for God and so do we. You are not the only one who sometimes asks, "Is God still there?"
When God answered Job, Job said, "My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you" (Job 42:5). Job finally understood that God would answer the questions he really needed to have answered but that he could trust God to take care of him even when He didn't answer. God was still there for Job and He is there for you.
God speaks to you in many ways. He speaks to you in the Bible, the Word of God. Nearly all of your questions to God can be answered from the Bible. So, when you have questions for God, ask your parents, a Christian friend or your pastor to help you find the answers in the Bible.
Also, remember to pray. God always answers prayer. The Bible tells us of people who prayed and to whom God answered "Yes", "No". God also said to some "Wait. It is not time for you to have the answer yet," or, "I can't give you the answer. You need to trust Me to take care of you" (Nahum 1:7).
