SATSRIAKAL!

Few years back i had strong faith in God and Guru but certain bad experiences and distraught changed my views and feelings.... i felt that all what u can get by praying hard is just bad experiences with life..and the more i prayed the more miserable life i used to lead..slowly i just could not stand it , i dint know why all this was happening. I had always heard that if u pray ,all what u will get is dissapointments ..i never used to believe these things untill i experienced it my self....then ultimately i stopped praying , and believe me life got better than before ...
Now when i dont pray much , i am confused...i have started to believe that prehaps it was coz of my praying in the previous years that has helped me solve my issues....but at the same time i also feel that perhaps it coz of not praying that has solved my isses...i dont know whats the rite way of thinkin..
i know that God is Great and he does everything for the good but sometimes i feel if i start praying again , maybe i will perhaps start facing bad experiences , which i hate facing at any cost..i dont understand what to do..
i know if u are a lover , u will accept whatever a Guru gives u , be it pain or peace but i also believe that if one sincerely prays and ask for something in return then God must also not consider his or her karmas and think a lot before fullfiling his wishes ...i mean , in the Guru Granth Sabhib Ji , Guru says that if u pray sincerely u will get what u want but at the same they also talk abt karma's ...now suppose a person has done bad karmas in his previous life and is trying hard to become good in the prsent life , should he bear all the pain and satisfy himself saying that "its alright , my next life is gonna be cool"..
well who has seen the next life anyways???? ..if one is praying then one must get what one wants...thats what i firmly believe
and also i feel that God is very logical , afterall u see everything on this planet rather universe is very logical...there is a cause and effect relation in everything that takes place ....there does not exists miracles rite?
so why does God give the fruits of karmas done in previous birth in the present birth???
sometimes things are so confusing and i guess no one can actually understand God ...its not in the capacity of humans atleast ...
anyways , if u have an answer to my confusing qestions please do try to help me out and clear my mis -interpretations or misunderstandings...i would love to know and understand God ....
Satshriakal

I just answered a question, from "an outsider", which I think will start to answer some of your questions. Read it and then rethink your question. If you are not satisfied, ask your question again. Try to be clear of what you are asking. GTKK
