If two bible believing Christians both fervently prayed and one was praying for rain, the other for sunshine, whose prayer would be answered and why?

The one who prays with (not against) God's Will.
Peace.

They would both be answered because in the Bible it says God will answer all prayers maybe yes and maybe no. He may even answer the prayers a long time from then.

They both probably would be answered, there can be rain in the morning and sunshine in the afternoon or the other way around. God answers all prayers, one way or another!

is it a superficial prayer?
If it had not rained all year and you asked God for rain in order to sustain life would you not want that prayer answered?
If it rained for 40 days straight and there was flooding and loss of life then would you not want God to grant your wish when you prayed for sunshine?

if they are in the same area then which ever weather would benefit the area,plants etc.... i would assume would be answered. if they are in different places and if god wanted then both would get their wish, but only if it was pleasing and beneficial. not all our prayers are answered, god knows what is best so don't be upset when you pray and don't get what yuo prayed for, be glad that god knew it wasn't time or wouldn't help you.

It's a good thing that man can't control the weather. What a fight that would be.
At least with God, we know that He will do what is best....whether some of those who pray like it or not.

We pray for Gods will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. We don't simply tell God what to do and he jumps. If our prayers are in line with his will he will give us what we ask.

prayer doesn't work that way. you don't just pray for things and you get them (though many christians seem to think thats the way it works). prayer is a moment to be with God and to talk to Him. you don't just get whatever material, or etherial, things you ask for.
God's not a genie that you get wishes from.

neither, it would be cloudy w/o rain or sunshine. It solves no ones prayers therefore not making anyone fall away
Or you can go with, the better Christian. :)
