God does answer prayers, but not always in the way that we think he will, and not necessarily on our time frame. If you read the Bible I would suggest Philippians, in particular the passages about looking to the interests of others....see if there is anything you can do to help restore the harmony in your group. If you've already tried to take action, then you might need to widen your circle of friends (a good friend of my always said, "There's always room at the complaining party! These people might thrive off of the conflict...I've known plenty of people where that was the case). Keep praying for your friends (read what Jesus said about "prayers of a persistent widow"), and don't ditch them but also look for new friends as well, so you can separate yourself from all this nastiness.

I know this is corny, but like look at the lyrics to this song. It's country so sorry if you like hate country or something. Lol.
-----------
Just the other night a hometown football game
My wife and I ran into my old high school flame
And as I introduced them the past came back to me
And I couldnt help but think of the way things used to be.
She was the one that Id wanted for all times
And each night Id spend prayin that God would make her mine
And if hed only grant me this wish I wished back then
Id never ask for anything again.
(chorus)
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when youre talkin to the man upstairs
That just because he doesnt answer doesnt mean he dont care
Some of gods greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.
She wasnt quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams
And I could tell that time had changed me
Inn her eyes too it seemed
We tried to talk about the old days
There wasnt much we could recall
I guess the lord knows what hes doin after all.
And as she walked away and I looked at my wife
And then and there I thankedd the good lord
For the gifts in my life.
*chorus*
Some of gods greatest gifts are all too often unanswered...

there's this story..... one guy keep on praying to have this thing on his hand... he keeps on praying for almost a year.. everyday he prays that God would answer his prayer... in the end he thinks that God did'nt do anything even he prays a long long time already.. so he doubted God.. and nothing happens... he did'nt get what he wants.. sometimes we're praying only if we need him or if we need that thing. and we're not being patient of things we want.. till we're tired of praying and just stop.. we dont know that the day you stop praying, maybe God will do the next day or the next day maybe he will answer our prayer.. just dont be weary on praying. Goid knows the time and the day to answer what you want.. be patient! 100% sure god is listening in all your prayers. keep on praying!

nicely that ought to completely count on what you're praying for and what you're doing to make it ensue. case in point, in case you prayed for a million money yet sat on your butt all day lengthy and not at all went out in pursuit of that funds, then you not at all get it. on the different hand in case you pass out and play the lottery and hit then voila, your a millionaire. Now shall we be logical the following, the lottery isn't the most likely thanks to earn a million money. shall we are saying you get ingenious and invent some thing that really some human beings pick and favor in there each day lives and are prepared to make investments in. You mass produce then promote and the subsequent element you comprehend your a millionaire. on the top of the day its no longer praying that is going to get you what you pick, truly its you getting up and getting it for your self.

You should listen to Garth Brooks sing, "I Thank God For Unanswered Prayers."

lol, There isn't a god. Stop putting so much trust into a imaginary friend and more into believing in yourself. And my advice to you is to get new friends mate. Life is way to short to waste your time with the mishaps your having with them.

He cant answer everyone prayers, think about how many people have problems thats everyone in the world and think how many of there problems are worse than yours. try and deal with your problems youself because who even knows if god even exisits?
