Understand that praying to someone or something else is not going to get things done. Try affirmative prayer. This places you in the drivers seat. Believe it or not you are God in action (or not). This is not an ego thing where you pray to yourself, it is a realization that your life comes from you and not outside you. The affirmative part is making a statement (to yourself or out loud) of your desired outcome. Know that you are there already. See it in your mind. Praying is a good thing, just know that it works and move on. Be alert, sometimes things happen and you don't even realize you where the one asking for it. Beware what you pray for, you might just get it! All good things happen in good time, so don't be upset if your Mercedes doesn't appear instantly, if it was meant to be it will be. Many Blessings on your journey.

Hi beloved
It seem no one wants to give you a real answer!
So can I be of some help?
Sometimes we worry to God
sometimes we pray amist
Sometimes we don't realize it
But always when you pray the scriptures there is a change. You see Jesus is the mediator between God and mankind also he is the word of God. Listen close this is how you may go about this: Try to find a concordance (there may be many on the internet) once you've done this think of words that pertain to your issue than look em up in the concordance; Next go to the Bible and Find out what God may think about your issue from the word of God. A.K.A the Bible A.K.A. Jesus get it hon? Next pray that verse or verses to the Lord. Let the words of God that are in the Bible mediate for you
I'll start you off but you know your issue better than me so you can address it better. Pray this with thanks in like manner; I thank you lord for ...(know your issue)....... because you say in you word that;
Matthew 11:30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Thank you Lord for you said that I can do all things thought christ
And that no weapon form against me shall prosper so in the name of Jesus satan the lord rebukes you for the lord is my strenght and my salvation.......You see?!
You can do it too!
May the peace of God which surpass all understanding be with you
Peace!!!

God answers most prayers that are directed for someone other than yourself.
The reason being, you are in that situation for a reason. What the reason is, only God knows. Perhaps he has something better for you than what you are asking for.
Pat Robertson said he prayed for 5 acres to build a church on. God didn't answer that prayer. He had something better in mind for him. Now he owns 500 acres of prime real estate with colleges church and TV station, plus a lot more.
Accept what he gives you and be happy you're provided for.

This is the answer I have found to work every time for me. "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition (some versions say 'meditation', which I find helpful), with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4: 6,7).
When you are feeling stressed and overwhelmed, just say to yourself that you are not going to be anxious about it. Then thank God for the many things He has done for you. You'll be surprised at how many you can come up with. Praise Him for them! Then tell Him about your concerns and ask Him to help you. Then you will find an inner peace, as you leave the rest to Him. Try it!

The best kind of prayer is with faith and PATIENCE! God can get vibes from you just as you can from him. God works in mysterious ways, and just when you least expect it, it works! Just try to have more faith in what you are praying for next time. Two more things, God don't answer all prayers, only ones that need to be. He works in your best interest for what and when you need it in your life. He knows best and Don't forget to pray when you don't need anything, just a thanks or ask what you can do for him! Good luck and keep praying, it can only help!

God is not someone sitting with lot of money to lent you when you need it or treat you when you are sick.
If you want to have peace of mind or the per the new word 'well being" situation you have to be peace with your inner self. By remembering a God's name if you can achieve that there is God within you. Otherwise if you think a God will come from some heaven you are not suing the brain given by GOD himself.
good luck friend!

Prayer is useless. Life doesn't change. You are the one that has to make changes.

How was your heart in it?? Did you pray for all things material..God don't work like that you have to come to humbley or forget it..When people get saved who is but the enemy that comes against them to make things hard,,put the blame where it goes,,not on God...God never left you,,you left him...He is just though and all you have to do is ask Jesus back into your heart to do his will,,not your will..you can't have your cake and eat it too with the Lord..you have to give to get back...The Lord does love you...don't blame him for you drawing away from him...Noone said it is an easy path,,trust me I have had many battles, they never stop but I have peace because I don't live for this world...this world brings on the pain but noone says you have to live in it...

what i think is that you should wait
and keep praying
because is the enemy the one who is making you feel that God is not answering your praying or he is not going to answer them but you know that God is listening so just wait and keep on praying
God will answer you in his own time
which will be just the right time for you

i believe in God but i also believe that this life is mine
and what happens in this life is up to me to create .. make better .. fix
when i pray i pray to a friend and have a chat
i dont pray to ask for things
self responsibility is so important .. and when you learn that you are in control .. and take actions on your own life
life can be amazing
