You're so young and there's so much to learn from living life. There are so many people, including myself, who have felt like God wasn't listening to their prayers. Honestly, it took me until the age of 30 to recognize how God works (and no, it's not audible).
For me, even though I grew up in Christianity my whole life, I didn't truly understand what it meant to have a relationship with Jesus/God until I was 30 years old....and desperate. I was single, pregnant, let go from my job when I was six months pregnant with absolutely no idea how I was going to support myself, much less a child.
I finally told God that I was ready to do things his way, to live my life the way he wanted me to, and to spend more time developing our relationship through the Bible, worship and lots of prayer. It worked, but I have to admit that my faith was a little shaky until Jesus took me by the hand in a dream I had and told me that he would always take care of me and life wouldn't become the struggle that I anticipated...and it wasn't. That dream changed my whole outlook and my faith was stronger than ever. Without going into all of the little details, shortly thereafter, a check from a previous employer's employee stock ownership plan came to me in the amount of $12,000 to hold me over financially until after I gave birth and found a new job (approx. 6 months later).
It still took a while for me to meet the man of my dreams. I stayed steadfast in my faith, raised my daughter the way that I knew God would want me to for 10 years before the person I was always meant to be with came along.
My life is finally everything I dreamed it would/should be, but it's a journey, and it's one that I guaranty that you won't find fulfilling unless you include God in it.
Once you start developing a true relationship with God, you start to notice how he works. He sends other people into your life to help you and he protects you from everyday harm and hardships, but I'm not going to lie, I thank Him every single day for everything I have. My health, my family, my smooth running life with all of my bills paid, my cars running, and able to pay for the college education of two kids. This is more than I could have ever hoped for back when I was single, pregnant, jobless, alone and desperate.
As someone else mentioned previously, this life is temporary. Build up your relationship with God now so that you can experience not only the best life has to offer now, but the eternal one that's offered after this human life is over!
God Bless!

If only that could happen to the rest of us. Just because that happened to you doesn't mean it will be that way for me. I mean, yes, I'm fine with my job and my house and my family and whatever. But what I really need right now is someone I can communicate with physically. Like I said, I'm tired of spiritual things. I'm tired of always having to do the reaching out. All my life I've had high-functioning autism and have been a very shy wallflower, rarely taking any social risks. All my life I've been different. I've never belonged anywhere because of my interests and in the way I think. I told God I would follow him no matter what, but I would be very, very disappointed if this one thing I really want never happened.
Which is one reason why I'm not looking forward to the next life, cause we're all going to be "married to Jesus" or some such nonsense like that and we're all going to love each other the same way (so there's really no point in having exclusive relationships now). Honestly, it sounds more like a hippie-club to me.
God is more then capable of having a closer one on one relationship with each and every human being that has ever existed all at the same time, and that relationship will be far more perfect and loving then any relationship that one will find on earth with another human being.. Indeed the genuine love that individuals will have for each other in eternity will be far closer and better then the best loving relationships we can ever experience on earth. I know what it is like to live alone.. I know what it is like to be an odd ball, to be socially awkward, to be an introvert, to be un - noticed.. To be alone when it comes to human contact.. But i also know that i am loved by God and He is well able to keep me and carry me through this life.. Your desire to have a special relationship with another human being is understandable.. It is a normal human desire..
Suffering from Autism is a big challenge for a person wanting to form a special human to human relationship.. But you are 22 years old.. You are still young and you have time still left to attempt to overcome it.. So seek the help of God to overcome your challenge and also hope that God will cause someone to come to you who will be able to play their part in overcoming the same challenge with you.. But again no matter what happens in your life remember that Light at the end of the tunnel.. Keep moving.. One step at a time and God will cause you to make it through this life...

You got to believe the WORD of God.... I agree that it was not the best way to motivate you.. But you need to believe God's Word and part of that Message is that there is an eternal lake of fire it is not an invention of this Augustine fellow... It is clearly revealed in the Book of Revelation.. Trust in His WORD.. And you will see the Light and have hope.. Reject his WORD and you will have nothing.. This is serious HistoryPrincess.. We must believe and trust God, if we are to have that eternal relationship with Him..
Jesus can save everyone. It's just that not everyone wishes to be saved. And he gives them a choice. He doesn't want us to be forced to love him and have a relationship. But wants us to have a relationship because we want to.
