That only those prayers to God are heard which are beneficial to us
And if so then how come children become orphans and when they had prayed for there parents safety before...how come all this evil stuff happens when people have prayed against it!!??? When it is actually for a good purpose..! ??

yes i believe. God has an already sorted out plan for each and every of our lives. He knows whats best for us.
He hears EVERY SINGLE prayer that we all pray.
but He answers in FOUR different ways, its "NO","YES","WAIT" or "I HAVE A BETTER IDEA".
He DOES answer them, you just have to LISTEN to Him, if you dont listen to Him, how would you know if He answers, and you have to recognise His voice too. usually what you "hear" first is HIS voice, and what comes after is your imagination, we must have the discernment. so if we act according to His prompting, miracles WILL happen.
its just what Satan tells us against God, and the sin of omission that makes what He tell us to be zil.

No, if a person has prayed for something to happen and the prayer was meant for everyone then it will be answered but not one prayer can change the world especially where there is evil and there are those who don't want others to prosper or benefit in Godly blessings. Evil intervenes when people choose to not believe in prayer or to have doubts that God will answer in the first place. Prayer is for a good purpose but we must utilize it with good intentions and with great expectations that God will answer but not the way that we want but what he wants.

Sometimes when someone has been taken out of your life it could be that they may have done you more harm than good, I was raised without a farther and I now know that the man that he was when I was born was not a man that would have been beneficial to my life at the time however he may have made it worse, but now since I am an adult and know that things do not always work out the way the human mind plans them and have found forgiveness in my heart through Jesus Christ I love my farther just as if he was their the entire time. I prayed for his presence in my life everyday I now find myself grateful to God that that prayer took 27 years to be answered. My point is that everything good and bad works out for the goodness and glory of God. He may not answer right then but he is always right on time.

God has reasons for everything. Maybe it is how someone might have to learn a lesson in life to make their faith strong. All prayers to God are heard. It is the ones praying that might not have very strong faith. Some people pray for things right when something bad is happening and the rest of the time forget that God is even here. It is satan that makes the bad happen, not God. It is up to each individual what kind of faith they have and if they have accepted Jesus.

We are told to pray for our own benefits individually and collectively, it is upto the God to accept our prayers. Some times we get answers immediately, and another time not at all. God has given freedom to us to chose, to behave and to act at our own will. When we mishandle or mismanage a thing we get hurt. God never intends bad for us, then why we face such bad happenings in our life? Because we act without much thinking about our own future individually and collectively. Let one see that a child steals something from another and you just keep quiet and dont want to stop him and teach him the right thing, then you are doing a sin for the society as a whole. One day you see that you cannot protect your property because of thieves and robbers and you probably will blame the God for this situation, even though it is your own mishandling of the things. So why we are facing bad things is because of our own mishandling of the things, so it is our duty to stop every bad things that happens, so that atleast the future generations can live a peaceful life.

Because God gave man free will. Man is free to choose, and often the choices we make are not according to God's will. In order to know how to pray, read the New testament, where there in much said about prayer, and how to pray. There is evil in this world, that as well you can get to know more about by reading the Scriptures. God can bring good out of the worst circumstance, we need to learn to trust in the goodness of God. Yes I do belive, God is love, He is merciful and kind. May he bless you with with understanding.

There is no god, Praying is a waste of time. Praying makes one feel good about themselves. It gives a false hope that somebody cares about the person doing the praying
The world would be a much better place if people got off their knees and actually worked to make it a better place then pray to an imaginary figure to fix the worlds ills

God tests us with good and bad things to see if we still worship Him. It is called filtering. Besides some are better off without parents. Some fathers are perverts

Though it's already been said, my higher power always answers my prayers! "Yes", "Wait" or "I got somethin' better for ya!". Why does bad stuff happen? I don't know, but if there is a God, then it follows there's a devil too...

god is an idea created by man , so that in case he fails to solves problems faced in life and is unable to face miseries, he can depend on some force. as god does not exist, no rational answer can be given by believers.
