Question

How do I get God to answer my prayers?? What can I say? Is there a particular prayer I need to pray? Thanks for all who can help me.

I'm praying for health of a loved one and a better job to be able to care for my family.

Answer 1

God will always answer your prayers. You just need to pray from your heart and believe that your prayers will be answered. The answer may not always be what you want. Remember that "no" is an answer. Sometimes God doesn't let you have something you want, because He sees all things, and knows what may harm you in the future. Another reason He might not let you have something is because you need to go through hard time to be able to help other people someday.

Answer 2

One thing that I have always found out to work is that when I pray, I have to believe with all my heart that God is going to happen. Believe that your prayer will be answered as if you believed that you were going to take at least one more breath in your life time.Then, think about your recent actions. Have you done anything sinful that you might had not fixed yet? One way to almost guarantee a answer from God is too 1. Have the Holy Spirit in you and filled with you, 2. Make sure you've not done anything questionable to be or is a sin and 3. Believe with all your heart. If those 3 are done all at once your almost guaranteed a answer. But remember, God isn't just going to poof himself into your house and tell you what he thinks. After that you should read the Bible or something. I've had some many cases where I asked God a question and opened the Bible to the perfect page where i was given a answer. God will answer prayers in ways you thought never to happen before.

Answer 3

When you pray to God he listens! There is really no particular prayer you need to pray. What i was taught as a teenager in youth group is that you should pray to God/Jesus and speak and pray with him like a friend, because thats what he asked us to do. He humbled himself down to us so that he could take our sins, and asked for us to love him and have faith in him in return. He also explains not to be repititious in prayer, asking for something over and over like a beggar. God knows what is on your heart, on all of our hearts, and he will answer all of our prayers, we just have to have faith and patience as we wait for the time which he already knows that we will be answered. Also he sais not to "pray in the synagogues like the hypocrites", but pray in your "closet", or in your home. Then, "though your prayer is in secret, God will reward you publicly". I hope i have helped you in your time of need! and i can tell you that God will answer your prayers! Who knows maybe he already has but you just havent realized it yet. He works in mysterious ways u know!
i'll pray for you and i hope that you find your answers soon!

There is only one prayer God will here from you now if you have not done it already and that is pray that you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and that he will forgive you of your sin through his death on the cross. After you accept Jesus, you can pray for God the Father to let his will be done in your life and you can have assurance that he only has the best plans for you.

Answer 5

Sister, First of all God heard your prayer before you even prayed for it, But God know what is best, we sometimes can not comprehend God's way because the bible says. that God's way is not our ways. He will not give us something that is harmful to us, And God will supply all of our needs, You don't have to have a certain prayer for God, Just be honest & humble before him, Don't demand God to do anything, the only demand we have is over Satan. When you pray just said God I come to you though the blood of Jesus Christ, Lord I am coming just as I am, I have nothing to offer, but myself, God is touched by our infirmities, & our honesty,

Answer 6

Listen to the answer that Faith gave you, she is right. Also praying is just talking to God. Like you would talk to anyone. You just let Him know what's on your mind an in your heart. If you have faith to believe that He is listening and cares, He will certainly give you an answer to show you that. It might not be the answer that you expect, but He works all things together for good according to His purpose.

Answer 7

Hello young lady. Prayers of Christians are always answered. We do not tell GOD what HE is to give us. We should ask GOD for assistance in things or in HIS wisdom in areas of need. I frequestly ask HIM to "be with those who are in need" and to use HIS HEALING hand for those who are ill if it be HIS' WILL." HE knows what we really want and need. We should always remember to thank HIM for the Blessings that we have received and for the things that HE has done for others. I hope that this is helpful in some way. You might consider studying with other Christians in your area. If you are unable to locate anyone that you are comfortable studying with, email me and I will find someone near you. Have a great day!

God is always speaking to us, what we have to do is learn how to listen. Prayer is a two way conversation with God, not just you doing all the talking. I usually try to get alone in a quite place and just sit in the presence of the Lord. . . . He will speak to you!

MUCH LOVE!

Answer 9

Pray honestly from your heart, remember God isnt a vending machine and He wont always bend His will for our desires. Remember Jesus prayed that the "cup" be taken from Him? God answered, but the answer was "no" because Jesus' cup was nessisary.

Answer 10

Maybe he has answered you but you missed it. Maybe he thought it better for whatever reasons, that the opposite is more appropriate. That he just said no or maybe it will be answered in his time, not yours. Abraham and his wife prayed for a child, they were impatient and Abraham had a child with his wife's maid servant, Ishmael, which is not the promised child to them by God. Years later, God answered them and Issac was born to them.
