Most people ask for stupid vain things ( i don't know if you are or not ) - and God will not entertain mankind's vain or useless desires.
Others get answers all the time but are looking for God to answer in a specific way, thus never notice the answers when they get them.
And then there is one of the best answers - as an old song goes, "Sometimes God's greatest gift, is unanswered prayers". If you heard the song - then it would clear that up better than I ever could.
God can open one's eyes (answering questions asked) when reading the Bible. Perhaps a scripture you have read seemingly a hundred times and never made sense - suddenly makes sense! As if reading for the first time with such clarity.
God will also use other people to provide answers. For example you might be talking to one of your Christian friends or a stranger and that person quite innocently is unaware that God has directed his or her topic of conversation - and speaks on the topic of a question that you have been asking God about but never mentioned to this person.
And then SOMETIMES.., God provides the answer in such a way, it seems to just comes out of the blue while pondering the questions.
There are other ways God answers - but if you don't stop - listen, watch and not expect it - you will never see it, never hear it.

Of course He is real. The answers He sends depends on the question. If you are asking for Christ to save you and that you repent (be sorry and never do again) of your sins, that is the first step and God will answer and send the Holy Spirit as a guide and councilor into your life.
If you are praying about money or material things, those things are of this world and generally God will provide what you need and not what you want. Sometimes the answer to a prayer is "No" or "Wait a bit".
The other function of prayer is to thank God for what He has done in your life and in the lives of those around you. Or even just to praise Him for the wonderful creation of the Earth.

John went to a barbering shop to have his hair trimmed.the following conversation took place between him and the barber.
JOHN: i don't think God exists
BARBER: Come on you can't say that... God exists and he's the creator of heaven and earth.
JOHN: If he does, how come people are hungry, killing each other, stealing etc. Sure, a loving father won't let such cruel things happen to his children.
(the Barber was dissapointed but didn't say anything. Just as John had walked 10 meters from the shop, the barber called him and said:
BARBER: i bet there are no barbers in the world
JOHN: oh what do you mean? sure there are barbers in the world
BARBER: then how come the guy standing in the corner's hair is so dirty, grown and unkempt? sure if there were barbers, his hair should have been taken care of and his beard shaped.
JOHN: there are barbers, like you...just because he hasn't been to a barbering shop doesn't mean there are no barbers.
(sure...that answers the question)
Just because you don't go to God doesn't mean there's no God. he hears when we pray, but his word says that we should ask without doubting, and we shall receive.
we must let God know that, whatever we ask, we mean to receive and we have faith we will recieve. if you ask and are not sure whether you'll recieve, then it's like planting on concrete floor.
Yes, God is real. so real..... he hears, he knows, he's concerned... at the right time, you'll see his works manifest in your life.... IN HIS TIME, HE MAKES ALL THINGS POSSIBLE.

Yes God is REAL. He is real because of every breath we take and in everything we do. He does not make our decisions for us but gives us the freedom of choice. He is real and He does answer you. It may not be the answer you are looking for or want but He does indeed answer every prayer. We sometimes expect God to give us our every want in a whim but that's not how God works. You only have to tune into Him to receive your answer. It could be in the breeze blowing thru the trees, a baby's cry, or even in a smell of a flower. If you listen with your heart, you will get an answer.
Don't try to bargain with God, He doesn't do bargains. You have to ask with your heart and open it to Him and you will hear and receive.
God Bless you.

Hello,
God is real. You have to believe and also have Faith in God. God has been patience with us, so be patience with God. There is a time and a place for everything. If you haven't accepted God into your heart it isn't too late.
It depends what you mean by answer, I do believe that everything happens for a reason. Remember God gave Human being freedom which they decided what to do , if you have been hurt it isn't God's doing. What goes around comes around. Maybe not in this life but the next
God bless

u don't hav any reason 2 b doubtful on this. well of course there is a supreme power called god!
as a human it is natural for u 2 beg for a physical power that can listen and pay heed to u.
but mind u, god almighty is beyond the extremes of our thinkin'.
he neither has got physical attributes nor does just listen 2 u when u blurt out the facts 2 him. he already knows what's on your mind and heart!
instead of prayin' 2 ask for a particular thing, try asking him for what's best for u. 'coz he knows and wants the best for u and u know it not.
let me tell u about an incident:
there was a man goin' on an urgent work and he missed the flight. he started lamentin' to god. but as soon as he reached home, he got the news that the plane had crashed!
it was god's way of savin' him from the disaster.
god is oft returnin', most merciful.

HELLO RYAN,
God is real. He exists. And He loves you. There are ways that God answers our prayers.
1. YES---obviously you will know this when you got what you've asked for.
2. NO--- when you don't have what you've asked for.
3. WAIT---looks like No but God is to something and that is to help you develop your patience in waiting. It's a win-win thing.

I think he's real--something or Someone had to start the Big Bang, and I think there was a guiding hand which shaped the universe. Maybe you don't get a voice from the heavens calling out your name, but there may be subtle ways in which you get an answer. Maybe a solution which comes to you didn't get there on its own.

I personally believe that God answers prayers in a different way with every person. So, don't look for what you think is suppose to happen, just pay attention to everything around you and I am sure that you will figure it all out.

God is real. His answers are in the Bible, which he inspired men to write. Also, when you receive Jesus, your body will be a temple for the Holy Spirit, who is a counselor sent to help you.
