We can pray to God, but does God always answer?

Question

And if we do get an answer! is it always from God. I dont believe so. Most of the dreams i have had are NOT from God. God definitely created the dream to be able to answer, but I think if God really wants to talk to someone he will appear. otherwise we are all schyzo's

Ali? how can you be so SURE of what you said?"the right" way is universal, not hedged up by the words of one man. who is not a prophet.
While good words that speak righteousness purge our WAYS, how can anyone say their way is total and complete unless they are a prophet and speak the words of GOD from HIS own lips. ?

tapestry ive heard that same sermon repeated from one church and several other churches before. it sounds good but cannot be true IF God does not answer at all. and suddenly something happens that seems to be good and holy but is not from god.

Answer 1

In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful

And to the tribe of Thamud, We sent their brother Salih. He said, 'O my people, worship God; you have no god other than Him. He raised you up from the earth and settled you therein. So ask forgiveness of Him, then turn to Him wholly. Verily, my Lord is nigh, and answers prayers.'

Or, Who answers the cry of the distressed person when he calls upon Him, and removes the evil, and makes you successors in the earth? Is there a god with Allah? Little is that you reflect.

And when My servants ask thee about Me, say 'I am near. I answer the prayer of the supplicant when he prays to Me. So they should hearken to Me and believe in Me, that they may follow the right way.'

Answer 2

It is good and right to pray for people, but here's the thing: First of all, we don't know what the problem is between you and your fiance. I wouldn't feel right asking God to keep you two together if, for instance, you were being physically abusive towards her, controlling, demanding, or just inconsiderate. Nor would I do so if she simply doesn't like you and wants to find someone more suitable for her. Just because you won't admit to or can't see these things doesn't mean they don't exist, and you would just be a selfish, mean person to insist on being with her. Secondly, God is approachable by anyone . . . including you. While it's good to pray for others, you don't need to wait for others to pray for you . . . pray to him yourself. If you are sincere, God will always answer your prayers . . . sometimes he says yes, sometimes he says no, and sometimes he says wait. And sometimes he says that we need to pray for something other than what we are praying for. In other words, maybe what you need to pray most about is letting him into your life so he can change you into a more lovable person. And if you really love your fiance, you will pray that she finds someone who will really make her happy, even if that someone isn't you.

Answer 3

God always answers, you have to be open since he answers in so many ways, dreams is a big way that he does answer, but for most the dreams are not easy for some to understand. God warns you of what is going to happen in the near future, (sometimes you are seeing it through God's eyes in the dream, but this is very rare)

Answer 4

God answers prayers, but not always in the way that we expect.
Sometimes people want a certain answer, so they make their own up and it isnt what God wants.

People get so caught up in asking that they forget to listen.

Answer 5

I think God answers us, just not by SHowing HIMSELF in his true form nor does he answer fool prayers. He gives us what we NEED most of the time, and not what we want but there are sometimes we get those lil things we prayed for do come our way.
I will say it like this 'He may not come when I call him, but he is always right on time!'

Answer 6

If the spirit of Jesus(the Holy Spirit) lives within us, we pray and the spirit goes before God for us. Anything we ask of him we will recieve if we believe we have already recieved as long as we are not asking for ungodly things. God's glory is too much for us to handle. Noone has ever seen God's face, he speaks to us through other people, this I know for a fact.

Answer 7

God is not a genie from a lamp. You can't just ask him for anything and everything and expect it to be granted at your wish.

God has a plan for everyone in this world and things happen on his time, not yours.

God's three answers are yes, no, and maybe. But only when HE says so.

Answer 8

Have you considered the possibility that God may answer the prayer, but in a way different from what 'we' man, may be expecting at that time?

Answer 9

You will find God's will in his word not dreams. God dont always answer our prayers the way we want him too.

Answer 10

Its just a force of positive energy that most people called GOD. praying is just conditioning your conscious brain to communicate to your unconscious brain to release some hormones for your use to your wishes or satisfaction. its a kind of a science not mere a miracle.
GOD is not a somebody, its everywhere, its a positive force. SATAN on the otherhand is the negative. both are required to sustain life. both sustain one another.
schyzo's has imbalance of energy in his body. if he's not going to be able to learn or force himself to balance it, he won't live long.without help.
these explanation requires some level of understanding through meditation. not everybody will understand these logic.
people can interpret in their own beliefs or religion but TRUTH remains.

Answer 11

I think God is always speaking to us!
We must hear it!
I can see the God in the beauty of a flower. In flying of a gnat.
between two lovers.
I think we must not search the God such a peculiar thing, while we are from God.
We must find the God in ourselves,
Then we can hear his/her sound!
