Shelley,
You do talk to God! That's great! Then, you don't need my advice. You are definitely doing the right thing! Good for you!
I understand how you feel about not having your prayers answered.......yet. I went through a similar situation with two years of severe migraine headaches. My mom and I were praying continually but God was not answering our prayers. I was down to 100 lbs. living on the strong pain pills the doctor gave me, ending up in the emergency room once a month for a shot of Demorol. Got a new doctor who wouldn't give me anymore pain pills. He said I was addicted to them. I wasn't. I bought a large bottle of wine and told God I would become a wino just to cope with the severe pain of the migraines! I went home and never had another migraine! I was so "addicted" to my last 3 pain pills that I finally threw them out. Keep praying and having faith and talking to God. He will answer your prayers eventually. It's all in his time and sometimes that can be very frustrating. But God sees the entire big picture of your situation and how it relates to others and the rest of the world. We don't get that view or maybe we'd understand more.
I wish you the best and will pray for you.
