Hi guys thanks for your replies i really feel better now...well i have got everything that i wish and what is possible for a human...but some things are just beyond your reach u simply cant get them ...u need your Master...but silence is what i get in response to my prayers...any ways i keep praying i ask for something which is feasible and rational but lets see....if He gives an ear to my pleadings...

Answer 1

Well, since I never offer prayers of request only prayers of thanksgiving...God usually, replies, "you're welcome."

So you want God to alter the master plan for your personal wants and desires?

Answer 2

I have prayed many times. I felt like the prayers were answered, but now I see that it could have been just a coincidence. I've prayed for a lot of stuff. Now I take praying as a superstition because God answers prayers in Yes, NO,and wait, but then again....so does a chair. Some people might say that god is not some slot mashine that gives answers all the time, but the bible clearly states that god will give you anything that you pray hard for and truly believe that will be answered.

Answer 3

If you really had faith in god, How could you say this...

"but i only find there is no response i only feel that i am praying to walls no response...".

Do you know even in walls there is god. I hope you know the story, from the wall, lord narasimha came out and saved the child. So even if you think you are praying to walls, God is listening to you.

When you think or feel like your prayers are not answered. There might be some mistake you would have made. So he is giving time to make you understand what mistakes you have made.

Or you might have not asked in the exact words.
In your mind you think of one problem and when you pray and ask, you say something. But that something would have happened true in life, you would have not noticed it. But your mind thinks that you have asked the god what you want. But god didn;t give you want you want. i don;t know people have noticed this in their life or not. Try to notice this and you will learn more about god.

But when you want to learn more about god, Cut your expectations. Coz your expectations will not allow you to think that what god really saying to us or how to reach him. I am saying this from my own experience. May be you can try it and learn from yourself.

Answer 4

yes,he does but you know we are human beings ,we wanna get everything without putting any effort on it. We think we pray that's enough but Did you ever get good marks just after reading the book . NO because if you know if you won't learn you will get nothing . When you want something from God do you realise that what you gave to God.
let me explain you.I don't know how old are you but in all these years you ate enough,you slept enough you enjoyed your life might be not too much but you did enjoy so in all these years Did you ever thank God for all these things . Did you give him enough faith so that he can listen to you or did you ever pray for nothing I mean just to say thanks. Did God ever complaint for anything . No. then why we are complaining. You don't have to pray but just prove your faith in God
God is the one who gives us everything without complaining and asking. Look around yourself . Didn't God give you something.

Answer 5

YES!!, putting your hands together for prayer is a similar form derived from the intricate finger-knitting device known as kuji-kiri or energy channeling enabaling the practitioner to induce a state of mind to provide a foundation for a particular technique...so next time you pray to yourself or pray to what you envision is god, remember the prayer hand signal will allow you to adopt the right frame of mind for the task at hand, your task being for a "thing"...remember god is a part of you so when you pray you must listen to your inner voice for guidance. God is not irritated about you're petition, I believe only you are. God is not taking a test, and at the end of the day in this dimension only YOU can give you what you want.

Answer 6

Yes. God answered my prayers while I went through a difficult time. What I prayed for did not come very quickly but looking back, over a two year period, I see that God did answer my prayers. God won't always change a sad outcome to a situation but he will listen & make it a bit easier for you to get through the tough times. Hang in there. I believe now that these difficulties may not be tests but just a way of life. God has so much more planned for us so to Him our problems may not be the major issues we make them out to be. I hope you get my meaning & I wish you well.

Answer 7

If God gives everybody what they want then people would be lazy and just pray to God since He would grant their wishes. God is not a genie wherein He grants everybody 3 wishes. He is not a Vending Machine wherein there is an automatic reply. God has a plan for each one of us. Maybe he sees that what you are petitioning is not according to His plan. Trust Him, He only wants the best for us.

Answer 8

Absolutely. I say Complete confidence that the Lord has and will continue to listen to every prayer I have ever prayed to Him, be it petition, praise, frustration, everything I have ever said to Him. He has always , without fail answered my prayers, sometimes in incredible ways.I am a pilot truely because God answers prayers.
Now, sometimes, the answer He gives is not teh one I want. But, I very rarely know what is best for me even when I talk to God. I have found undeniable truth in Jeremiah 29:11 that God knows the plans He has and He will prosper us and not harm us. No matter what happens, He always answers prayers and His answer is always fro the best.

Answer 9

God doesn't get irritated listening to you. God hears you when you cry out. Remember, pray in faith and have faith and trust in God. Trust that he is dealing with the situation you are dealing with. Thank him for working on it. Speak in faith as if the thing you have prayed for has already happened. Months ago, I prayed for a car. I totalled mine in an accident, and this week, my father called to tell me he found me a car. God delievered. I trusted and during this time I thanked him for dealing with it. My boyfriend is in the hospital. I was praying for some sign of peace. There was a knock on the door. It happened to be two people telling people about God. I told him I was a Christian. They asked me if I was okay. I told them I was upset because my boyfriend is in the hospital and not doing well. They prayed over me and God's peace came over me. I am much, much better now. God does listen to your prayers. Trust in him. Trust that he is dealing with things even when you don't know why he works in the ways he does. Trust in him even if you don't understand his timing.

Answer 10

I have prayed in the past for things that I still haven't gotten. However, I have always gotten what was needed to survive. Now, the way I look at it. I have four kids. They ask me for stuff all the time. Sometimes I get it for them, sometimes I don't, because I know what they do and don't need. I feel God does the same. He decides what we do or do not need in order to serve him best. And once he feels we are deserving and in the right frame of mind with him, "THEN" He decides what to give us.

Answer 11

God does not give U what U desire / pray for, but only what He feels that U deserve.
U dont have to ask Him specifically for any particular thing or help, He is able to see what U need . He expects U to make sincere efforts to obtain it, & if U still fain, than He gives it to U.He has NOT ditched me even once.
