Most likely he probably just knows me better than you, a relationship that took us years to develope.

His love and mercy toward you are probably roughly equivalent to your love and mercy toward him.

I have no idea what Bill Gates' and Rupert Murdoch's relationship with God are, maybe they are just really smart and at least don't do things that offend him. hard to say.

If you need a job you might try looking in the newspaper or going back to school to learn a trade that would enable you to sustain a living wage in a field that you enjoy. Obviously if you had that, at minimum, you would not be looking for work for over a year.

If you'd ever read the bible you would know that God is willing to give you anything you ask for, given you have a relationship with him to begin with. Maybe your prayers aren't being answered by 'my God' but another.

Jesus helped me build my business, I would have never even thought of it on my own, he pretty much dumped it my lap one day, even sent someone to finance it early on... told me he would before it happened so I know for sure it was him. It's good too, since it's really his to begin with he watches out for it quite a bit.

Good luck on ebay.
