Do you wonder about asking help from a Higher source?

I've asked God or the Higher source etc for help many many times over the years. Mainly I need help with this chronic PTSD which is severely limiting my life. But I wonder today, others have asked for help and they never got an answer and some even died in various situations. So if their prayers or wishes were not answered, how do I think mine would be or are more important? Do you wonder that sometimes?

I look to myself. I know this sounds rough, but in my experience, help is not coming. If god is up there, it is not a parental figure. Nobody is coming to save us.

I work hard on myself and stay diligent.as I am able. If I need something I work for it, if I can't achieve it, I let it go. I am not a victim, but if god let the things happen to me that he did, I'd say know he was a man and as deadbeat as my own dad.

I still pray. I still want to be heard, but I it's like praying to myself. Promising myself to keep pushing towards being the healthy person I want to be.

@ScreamingFox your reflective reply made me remember once a line by Dr Dyer, a famous author. He said Any one of us can state, "I am God." He said it's in the Bible that (I believe it was?) Jesus said to friends and people , you can state that, because we all are One with God itself/himself. That stuck with me. But I typically have a depleted , scared, trauma mindset that overtook me , so I don't always remember to identify with being high, powerful etc. It's hard to truly incorporate it into life. But hey, it's better at this point than feeling like less than a piece of dirt..
