Numerous football players go on national TV and praise God for answering their prayers for winning a football game or scoring a touchdown.
Then down the street, in a hospital room, a heartbriken parent's prayer is ignored and their child dies of a disease.
What are the guidelines for having prayers answered because it would seem they are a bit skewed, what ever they are.

God answers all prayers.
The guideline to having a prayer answered? One has to pray to have a prayer answered.
Just because God doesn't answer always in the way that we think that He should doesn't mean that the prayer was not indeed answered.
You may not understand that. I might not totally understand that either. But that doesn't make it any less true.

God sees things in 4 dimensions (time), while we only see things in 3. So things that might not make sense to us, night make perfect sense if we could see in 4D. Besides, just because a football team went on TV saying God answered their prayer to win, doesn't mean he actually did.

Nice try there "jack"! No, God does not draw them out of a hat.
In fact God answers all prayers on his terms. His time of answering is not ours, and the manner in which he chooses to answer is not ours.
