Let's go over what you said in your OP,
"Last night I was at the end of my rope so I cried out to God, or should I say I screamed at Him in abject anger and told Him I need help, so now I will find out if He comes through or not.
This is you making a demand of God. You angrily yelled at God and asked Him for help and then decided to sit back and wait for that help. It was a demand.
No, it isn’t making a demand because I asked for help – I told Him I need help, I did not make a demand.
"Usually I just scream at God and call Him names, but this time I asked for help, so the ball is now in God’s court."
You yell at God and call Him names then ask Him for help?
I said that is what I usually do, not what I did this time. Maybe God can see that I have made some progress because God is not petty and holding grudges for what “I used to do.”
I honestly don't think there is anything He can do for you if you act like that.
How would you know, are you God? Since you are NOT God, why do you speak for God?
I asked for help, that is all I did, and I got help, so I guess there was something God could do.
Then the whole "ball is in His court" thing is just like asking after a sign.
And the Lord said an adulterous generation asks after signs.
I was not asking for a sign and I don’t give a rip what the Bible says, it is not the Book I go by because it is thousands of years old so it no longer applies to the present age.
"God can help me because He is All-Powerful, or He can just leave me standing at the side of the road.
"
Or He is giving you trials with the hope that they will make you humble - and therefore receptive to the Holy Spirit - which is how He helps us.
How do you think you know what God is doing? How do you know how many trials I have endured and passed? You only met me a few days ago on a forum. My whole life has been tests and I have passed them all so far.
God does not help us through the Holy Spirit; God helps us by sending Messengers. God has done that three times since Jesus walked the earth. I do not need what God sent 2000 years ago.
"Mind you, the All-Knowing God already knows what I need help with, so I did not need to put in a prayer request."
Yes - you do. Even though God knows what we want and need - He has instructed us to pray - because the act of prayer establishes a connection with deity - which we need.
Who is “we?” You can only speak for yourself, not for me. I need no connection with God nor do I want it. The next thing you will say is that is why I don’t have a connection, but I already know that because that is a Baha’i belief.

He isn't a djinn in a bottle. He is your Father and He wants to have a conversation with you.
Gimmie a break. I do not adhere to Christian beliefs. God has no conversations with ordinary people, only with His Messengers like Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, the Bab and Baha’u’llah.
"God already knows I have tried to solve these problems by myself to no avail, so it is not as if I am just sitting around doing nothing."
Yet part of your process is to curse God - which gums up the works. You are speaking to a Being that deserves respect.
Show me where I cursed God, and even if I did that would only gum up the works for a petty capricious God. That God is not the God I believe in. The God I believe in is the one true God, not the imaginary God some Christians imagine exists and gets his feelings hurt by humans.
“Regard thou the one true God as One Who is apart from, and immeasurably exalted above, all created things. The whole universe reflecteth His glory, while He is Himself independent of, and transcendeth His creatures. This is the true meaning of Divine unity.” Gleanings From the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 167
"I have struggled with these issues for what seems like forever but I have come to a dead end and I know not what to do."
It is very possible that you are not meant to overcome these challenges. God gives us what we can handle and depending on how we handles these burdens we can shrink or grow from them.
And you think you know what God gives us how? Oh I almost forgot, you have the Bible that was written by men who never even knew Jesus. If God only gives people what they can handle why do so many people commit suicide? I hear these same platitudes from other Baha’is; I don’t need to hear them from Christians. Can you explain why atheists have more compassion than believers?
"This is when God is supposed to step in and help me if He is worth His salt."
Pure. Unadulterated. Pride.
No, that is not what that is and I do not believe that God is obligated to step in; I only said that in jest. I guess you could not figure that out.
But it is only according to Christian and Baha’i scriptures that say God steps in, so don’t blame me for scriptures, as I would not have any expectations of God without those scriptures.
Aside from that, who are you to judge anyone?
Matthew 7:1-3 Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

Trailblazer said: What do you expect me to get out of the experience?
Communion with your Father in Heaven.
What if I don’t want that? Why should I want that, just because you want it?
