I thank God all of the time, every day, whether I have visible evidence that a specific prayer has been answered or not. When I do get a verifiable answer to prayer I can't wait to tell others about it because they serve as a testimony to God and an encouragement to all of us.

I don't really pray to God for anything. I pray in a way that I am stating that I'm able to see the world in the same way God made it - PERFECT. If somebody is sick - I pray stating that I can see them as whole and perfect. I pray for highest good a lot - and to make myself part of it.
As for thanking God - YES - I thank It before the prayer is even over. Gratitude is always part of my prayers.
All prayers are answered. Maybe we can't see it - but all prayers are answered.

Thanksgiving is the first law. Even if the prayers aren't answered we should be thankful for what we have. After all, we don't always know what is best for us.
God created this Universe so that we might learn, evolve, raise our consciousness and eventually come to the path of Pure Consciousness, also called Heaven.

I not only thank Him but I praise Him as well. I’ll do the same if the answer is no because I know that what I asked for was not in my best interest. Or it could have been that God knew it wasn’t something that I really wanted. So Praise Him for everything!

Of course! While shoving some religion down my grandchildren's throats today, I prayed that my car would start so when it did, we had to pray again to thank Him. Then I pushed more down their throats by having a discussion about Guardian Angels. It was just great. Granny rules!

Yes. If I remember. Sometimes I forget. But I try to remember to thank Him. Sometimes He sends me things I didn't ask for, I still thank Him. Sometimes He answers but very quietly and unobtrusively so maybe, I can forget. He has too many blessings. Sometimes they are too many to count and too many to keep track of. But if I get a chance, I do say thank You.

I thank him for answering before I finish praying,because I know he always answers.

If God were to grant the wishes of men, the human race would be quickly wiped out, as we wish so much evil towards other men.

Yes. You should praise God for everything He does for you, both good and bad.

thank God if he answers or not, for God has given us life, and a chance to live another day so that we may not be puffed up in pride and ask for forgiveness for our sins.
