Everything happens for a reason. Maybe you're praying for the wrong things?

Without bad, there can be no good. The hard times make us appreciate the good time more...and believe it or not, the hard times actually do make us stronger. God answers all prayers but sometimes the answer is "no". You don't prey to get what you want or to never have anything bad happen. You prey to be able to accept what you are given and to have the strength to make it through what life throw's at you.

Here is a story for all of you.
Everyone will get this.
If you prey.. you may be hunting instead of wishing. Because we all do it.
Personaly, I believe that to prey.. is to wish.. wishes dont always have a predestiny to become reality.
(For example)
,... The Lion wants that Deer across the meadow... He tries with all his might to fix his broken leg..
but alas... it is a dream. No matter how hungry he may be, he will not have that Meat. The Meat is simply too fast for his dreams.
He will starve and die.. because he believes that his bones will heal in less than 3 minutes (HA) so that he may out smart his "prey" once again. (NOPE)
He is old and feeble. He would like to blame is natural state on his prayers not being answered.
But in all reality...
He now is the prey himself.
Ironic.. yes, but such is life...
survival of the fit, and fast (if you will).
Bad things happen to those who do not MAKE reality but dream of what COULD BE.
We do not always want what we wish for.

Unanswered prayers. Look at what has happened in your life already, what did you learn from it? What has it made you do? Give this some serious thought and when you pray, pray for strength. We are given these challenges for a reason, look, listen and think before you react. Things will get better for you, but you need to believe they will and pray for strength so they so become better. GOD bless and good luck, remember, seriously think. Maybe you were meant to go through this bad stuff in your life in order to help some one else in the future.

Your prayers are heard...just not in the way you think. A part of you doesn't accept you are worthy of good things. I don't receive any more miracles than others...I just see them better. Every rotten thing in my life led me to something better; when I had enough time and distance to look back on it. You are here for a purpose. You have a right to be here. Don't give up on your faith...and most of all..."Believe". I shall say a prayer for you to help you along. Peace.

First I need to know your stats with God. How's your relationship with him? are you in right standing with Him? Have you accepted His Son Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? Because these are the requirements in order to get that connection to God's prayer line. Then and only then will God began to show up in your life and through your prayers. Now every prayer that is prayed will not be answered in the way we want them to be answered, but rest assure God will answered them in the best way He seem fit. Why bad things happen? well love, we have been spirits in this world just as we have good spirits. However, God is in control over all and that comfort, in knowing that He can take our ashes and turn them into gold.

You're not alone... many of us go thru/are going thru the trials that this life brings.
Sometimes, it's the devil coming at us (bad things happen), to try & get us to blame/turn against/turn away from God.
Storms will come & go, mountains will be climbed, valleys will be travelled thru, but keep holding on, because (in my son's words to me)>>> tie a knot in your rope & hang on... help is on its way.
Food For Thought:
A lot of people don't realize what they can get themselves into when they pray.
If we pray to understand someone, we get to go thru something that they went thru, in order to be able to understand them.
If we pray for patience... the trying (testing) of our faith worketh patience... tests can drive you nuts, especially when they sneak up on you.
If we pray for wisdom... we could end up growing in knowledge/experience too rapidly... like a baby trying to chew & swallow a steak when it needs milk.
We're taught that when we pray, to be careful for nothing.
Many people think it means>>> do not be careful.
Study that one... if we're to be careful for nothing (zero, zilch), then shouldn't we be careful about even the least little thing & especially about what we consider to be important?
You've surely heard the saying>>> be careful what you wish for... you just might get it & when you get it, you might not want it.
Some of us learn the hard way & some of us learn thru the guidance of others who have been there & done that.
Some people don't really realize that praying isn't just asking for something... it's talking, having a conversation with the Lord (including listening to Him).
Even though bad things come your way, don't focus on the bad... break free from focusing on those bad/dark clouds, by focusing on just one little ray of sunshine & stay focused on it... & before you know it, the clouds will part &... you'll see the sun shining big & bright!

Like the first girl saidl, things happen for a reason. God sometimes puts us through things as a test. You have to have faith and keep it. Bad situations only make us stronger.

You need to pray-not prey. Could be the problem.
