Why All of Our Prayers Have Not Been Answered?

Question

Why All of Our Prayers Have Not Been Answered by Almighty God??

Answer 1

Let us see what Paul says....Paul's letter to the Philippians is one hundred and four verses filled with encouragement and joy. Paul didn't write this letter to explain deep theology or to deal with any particular sin. Rather, his purpose was to express love for his friends and to encourage them (and us) to live a joy-filled Christian life.
In chapter one, Paul encourages us that God's work in us WILL continue; "He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion" (1:6). In chapter two, we are encouraged to "do everything without complaining or arguing" (2:14).
In chapter three, Paul inspires us to be forward-looking in our walk with Christ; "Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal" (3:13-14). Finally, in chapter four, Paul writes some of my personal favorites; "Rejoice in the Lord always!" (4:4); "I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation" (4:12); and, "I can do everything through Him who gives me strength" (4:13).
But buried within these wonderful words of encouragement is probably the most valuable and applicable message for our daily journey with Christ.
So don't loose heart...every prayer will be answered accoding to God's will...
wait patiently...May God Bless you!

Answer 2

Allot of children go to their Father asking for ponies, a house made out of candy, a car at the age of 12, their little brother to be turned into a cat. Because they ask for these does not mean they will always get it.

Some prays are selfish prayers, some prayers have a time to it. Meaning it won't be answered right now but it will be answered on time. Some prayers aren't fuel in faith.

Meaning they ask God for it and then close his hands by saying "Ah it won't really happen". You see God is Powerful and unless we believe that he can't bless you like he wants

cause you have not really accepted him as your Father/Lord and Savior

Answer 3

Is it not that you are not getting your answers, god gives time to you, he knows which is good for you and he might have tought to give you later,coz later you may suffer more than what you are now. So it will be helpfull that time. It is all for our own good like how your mother will know what food to give you when you have fever and what not to give at that time. It;s all the same the god behaves to you, like your mother.

Answer 4

Do you want ALL your prayers answered? What about the next man, shall he settle for half only? If God answers them all (yours) then why not mine too? This way, all mankind will have what they want. Earth will be heaven. How are we going to be tested for our patience, tolerance and content for whatever less we have? How will we be rewarded after-wards if we are rewarded now?

Answer 5

I've had some of my prayers answered. God doesn't always give us what we think we need, but He will give you what He sees is best. Sometimes we want our will to be done, but instead of our will we need to do God's will. Things will always turn out best if we seek God's will.

Answer 6

Some are unscriptural, some are not asked in Faith, some are still in the process of being answer(you need to wait awhile).

Answer 7

IBRAHEEM IBN ADHAM - may Allaah have mercy on him - a third century scholar, a teacher and a companion of Sufyaan ath-Thawree, was asked about the saying of Allaah - the Most High: "And your Lord says: Call on me I will answer your prayer..." [Soorah Ghaafir 40:60] i.e. "We supplicate and we are not answered."

So he said to them:


"You know Allaah, Yet you do not obey Him,
You recite the Qur'aan, Yet do not act according to it,
You know Shaitaan(Devil), Yet you have agreed with him,
You proclaim that you love the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam, Yet you abandon his Sunnah,
You proclaim your love for Paradise, Yet you do not act to gain it,
You proclaim your fear for the Fire, Yet you do not prevent yourselves from sins,
You say "Indeed death is true", Yet you have not prepared for it,
You engage yourselves with finding faults with others, Yet you do not look at your faults,
You eat of that which Allah has provided for you, Yet you do not thank Him,
You bury your dead, Yet you do not take a lesson from it."

Answer 8

I think it depends on what prayers you have been asking him to answer. It might seem that you prayers don't get answered but if you look closely there might be a reason.......

Answer 9

the lord has his ways of answering our prayers but we do not recognise it, in each and every event of our life our prayers are being answered, unknown to us everything is for our good only.keep faith.

Answer 10

Prayer is a great way to rectify the mind. Expecting 'God' to step in on your behalf is superstitious.
