Start watching at 2:40 for two minutes to hear/watch the answer to your question. Takes a minute or two to load, so you may as well watch the first two minutes and forty seconds anyway.

When millions of good Christians are praying for the end of starvation their government are taking the taxes which those people pay and finance wars; thus creating the worst!

Well the way prayer ususally works is like this. You pray to God and He does something to answer your prayer. For the starvation thing God doesn't rain down food from Heaven any more. Chances are if YOU pray for the end of starvation God usually wants YOU to help do something about it. Yes that probably means donating money, food, time and effort on your part. I say with prayer you have to "Pray and Obey".

There is much to say in the Bible on answered prayer.
Two [or more] Christians must believe with all their heart and all their might.
Then it has to be in accordance with God's Holy Will. If it's not part of His Master Plan, then it won't ever be wiped out.
If God answered each and every single prayer every believer prayed, I cannot imagine how many people might sin against themselves with one of the 7 deadly sins, e.g., gluttony.
Jesus hasn't forgotten a single one of His followers. He is the Good Shepherd. There are many organizations that attempt to carry food to the hungry. There are just not enough volunteers or people willing to do even more.
IMAGINE: WHAT WOULD IT BE LIKE IF EVERYONE LOVED THY NEIGHBOR AS THYSELF?

The Catholic Church prayed for a few decades for the 'deliverance' of communist Soviet Russia. Look what happened. All in God's time, all in God's time.
As for two Christians praying to make things happen - numbers is not necessary - you are right.

No. And even though they pray many of them do nothing else to end the hungar. Think that extra 20 bucks is for you? Maybe it was the answer to that pray and you should buy food for a food bank with it.

Right, you gotta udnerstand why we have poverty and evil and suffering, Its human decision its not God's we all have enoguh food in the world so that everyone can have enoguh ut they dont cause its moral evil. Even Jesus said 'the poor will always be with us' because he knew that some people would crave too much possesions.
Its part of life its a test, i wouldnt like to be starving dont get me wrong, but like i said God will reward the suffering in heaven when they die :)

First off, more people today are better fed than any time in all of human history.
And who made it possible?
The people of a country that was, and still is, basically Christian.
But the underlying question is why is there human suffering at all, and the answer lies with mankind and not God. There is a lesson to be learned by mankind. Live contrary to the will of God, and you bring about your own suffering. It is not God's fault people choose not to follow him.

Yeah, I guess millions of people praying to help them must not have faith the size of a mustard seed, or they're just talking to themselves when they pray.

Because they put more prayer and attention and energy on their own souls being saved on judgement day than they pray for those in need.
