only 4 Christians: how can God hear all the prayers?

Question

And do u think of God as ur servant that has to answer all your prayers the way you want to and at the moment u want to?

Answer 1

If He couldn't, He wouldn't be a God at all. God is not limited by space, time, or matter. He's not even limited to sound waves, and doesn't require you to speak to pray. He can hear your every thought and intention.

God is NO ONE's servant. He answers those He chooses to answer in whatever time frame He chooses.

Infinity is a scope we cannot wrap our weak human minds around - God is infinite. Nothing is difficult for Him and nothing is beyond His knowledge. Rome wasn't built in a day, but solar systems were by Him. If you think of Him in this respect, you'll understand how He can deal with the thoughts of a billion little humans.

In my personal experience He has answered me both immediately and sometimes not at all. Other times He has chosen to answer me, but not in the time frame I expected.

Answer 2

Some Christians believe that God is omnipotent and omnipresent; that is, He is everywhere and He is supreme, because he is God. And yes, He can hear everyone's prayers simultaneously.

And no, God is nobody's servant. He does answer prayers, but not immediately and in the way that He thinks is best -- not the way you want him to. You've got that right. God works in mysterious ways, and we mere humans are not given all the answers. The Bible teaches us that we have to have faith -- even under the most distressing circumstances. And I've found that things usually turn out right if one is a true believer.

Answer 3

God works in mysterious ways... So how he does it??? I've no idea...

And the answer to your second question:
Although He always listen to our prayers God doesn't always answer our prayers...
You may ask everything but His WILL is bigger than ours...
We may want this and that while we don't need it... And He sees all... He knows what we need...
But than again there is written in the Bible though I'm not sure where...: Ask and you'll be given... If not today, maybe tomorrow or the day after (the future)...
So I know our prayer isn't always going to be answered the way we like or on the time we would like...

Answer 4

He's God, yo. He can do that.

What most people don't understand is that God already has a plan and your prayers will not change it. Everything happens for a reason, so it will happen or not if God has a reason. Prayers are more to show your love and concern for something or someone. Still, most people pray for changes in life when life is what it is meant to be and God wants you to learn from what he gives you, not what you think you need/want/should have or what would be easier.

Answer 5

God hears all our prayers because he is omnipotent. God is not our servant, we are his.
He answers prayers but sometimes our prayers are selfish or would not benefit us or our loved ones in the long run, he knows best so he may not answer the prayer.

Our patience is far less than God's, sometimes we have to learn to wait for the prayers to be answered.

Answer 6

He is just that good. :) I don't know how to describe it. If anyone has read the last book of the Left Behind Series, it might make some sense, they had a good description of how God can communicate with each one of us personally at the same time. God Is. No, I don't believe God has to answer all my prayers in the moment I request. I pray HOPING he will answer my prayers in HIS time, because his time is perfect.

Answer 7

I question God this. He just lets me know He is able to because He is that smart. God is all knowing. Also, the Holy Spirit that is with every born again christian is the connection to pray to the God 24/7. It is fast service.

Jesus came to serve. Yet to receive His Salvation, we need to confess Him as Lord. So, we need to trust & obey Him. In that obedience comes quicker answers.

God sometimes lets us wait on Him for a while. There is always a reason for that. We don't always know what that reason is.

Sometimes, He will answer that He doesn't want person to know something yet & sometimes explain why.

He will repeat His answer also. Because we forget sometimes.

Not only does He hear our prayers, He also knows how many hairs we have on our head (Or don't have).

Answer 8

God can hear all prayers because he's God and he's cool like that. and no, God isn't a servant. we are his servants and when we ask him for something, it is up to him whether or not we get it. we are not like spoiled 4 year olds going "oh i want it now!" God doesn't give you everything you want, and for good reasons.

Answer 9

Omnipresence is the ability to be present in every place at any, and/or every, time; unbounded or universal presence. It is related to the concept of ubiquity, the ability to be everywhere at a certain point in time.

This characteristic is most commonly used in a religious context, as most doctrines bestow the trait of omnipresence unto a superior, usually a deity commonly referred to as a god or goddess by monotheists. This idea differs from Pantheism in that an Omnipresent Divine is implied to be more aware and engaged whereas the Pantheistic Divine is literally the essence with which creation is made.

Brahmanism, and other religions that derive from it, incorporate the theory of transcendental omnipresence which differs greatly from the traditional meaning of the word. This theory defines a universal and fundamental substance, which is the source of all physical existence, but which is unrelated to the fact that we exist. If a being ceases to exist, the structure of the world remains unchanged, but if the "it" somehow ceases to exist, existence as a whole would end in the traditional sense of the word, but the transcendental existence would remain.

Some argue that omniprescence is a derived characteristic: an omniscient and omnipotent deity knows every thing and can be and act every where, simultaneously. Others propound a deity as having the "Three O's", including omnipresence as a unique characteristic of the deity. Most Christian denominations — following theology standardized by the Nicene Creed — expand upon the concept of omnipresence in the form of the Trinity, by having three omnipresent deities (each infinite) that are said to be Three in One.

Answer 10

No. I am a christian. I don't think like that. We sometimes pray to God for others or even for thanks. We depend on God and we look to God. He is our Father. And sure God can hear all the prayers. He can even know what your thinking. He know what your going to do. He is in 2007, 2008, 2009 at the same time. Time doesn't limited God. God controll time too. Of course He can hear and answer.

I ask my parents for things I also ask God for things. The thing is God know whats best for us. I trust in the Lord.
