He answers ALL of them, just not in the way we always want Him to do.

In someway they are all answered, when the correct time is due for that prayer to be answered.
As many prayers are sent upward to heaven, the ones that are answered first are the heartfelt prayers, the ones that touches God's merciful compassionate heart. Prayers are like beams of light that reach into heaven, the ones that reach out more upward and more meaningful sincere heartfelt prayers, are the ones that would be answered first. Usually prayers that concern protection, and in need of help, from what I experienced perhaps would be answered fast, or when needed.

God answers all prayers in the way that will ultimately be best for you and everyone who will be affected by the answer. And His timing is always perfect even when it doesn't look that way.
If you ask for something that He knows would be the best thing for you and everyone involved and that this is the perfect time for this to happen, then He will give you what you asked for.
If your request is one that would ultimately be harmful to you or someone else, He will give you something else that will be better for you. Of course, that "something else" may simply be the grace to accept that you are not going to get what you want.
If your prayer is for something God knows would be best for everyone involved but the timing is wrong, He will help you and others to wait and grow until the time is right.

God answers all our prayers but not always the way that we want them. The song Unanswered Prayers where the guy wanted to marry his highschool sweetheart and he prayed for them to be married. God did not answer the prayer the way that the guy wanted because that was not meant to be.

Hello and there is one prayer that God promises to answer and His very thrown His Word is pledged to that fact its found in 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. The prayer asking God to fogive coming from a heart that is being very honest and open to God is always heard always, and the conditions for answered prayer is having no known sins, it says in Proverbs 28:9 He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer [shall be] abomination.

God answers all prayers. Sometimes the answer is delayed until the appropriate time in your life, sometimes it is an out right no, and sometimes it is yes. Just as a parent answers their childrens requests-it is sometimes not right now, sometimes absolutely no and sometimes yes. Our earthly parents want what is best for us so how much more does our Heavenly Father want the best for us.

If god was as benevolent as he is portrayed to be, all our prayers and questions would be answered. That is a silly question in my opinion because you should know god works in mysterious ways, thats if he exists at all. No offense of course.

He doesn't answer the prayers of the unrighteous.
Isaiah 1:15
When you spread out your hands, I will hide My eyes from you; Even though you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.
Or the prayers of a husband who does not honor his wife....
1 Peter 3:7
Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.

He hears the prayers of a righteous man and He answers prayers to those who believe...He may not answer them the way you want Him to but the way that He sees fit to benefit us. He has answered so many for me, i cant even count them. God is sooooo good!

He only answers prayers that could be a coincidence.
For example, god never hears amputees.
