Are you a Christian, have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, have you prayed the sinners prayer. If you have not been born again you will not see an answer to Prayer, Only a true believer gets a direct answer to Prayer, If you are a true believer there be a sin between you and God, something you need to confess, something God has showed you that you need to do. Remember, God doesn't change, we change. If you have never accepted Christ as your Personal Saviour here is a sinners prayer, please pray this and start your life fresh and anew, Dear Jesus, I know and confess that I am sinner in need of salvation. I believe you died on a cross at calvery and arose from the grave to wash away my sins, I ask you right now to come into my heart and save me, I pray this Prayer believing in the name of Jesus Amen. If you prayed this prayer with a sincere heart you are now a child of God, rejoice that your name is written in the Lambs book of Life. If you have any questions just send me an email, God Bless YOU!!

God answers the prayers in three ways, yes, no and wait. If you are praying for something that is not in His will, the answer will be no. By praying, we align ourselves with His will. We may think something we want is good, but God sees the end from the beginning, He may see down the line where that "good" thing wasn't good for you and deny your request. Bring your requests to God, and leave it there. If the answer is no or wait, accept that God knows better than you and has your ultimate best in mind.

In church last week, our pastor answered the question, "Is God Listening". You have to accept that he is listening on faith...fortunately you can find many examples in the bible of God listening to people's prayers...just not always when and how they think he will do it.
My pastor had four points (he mentioned the usual, Yes, No, and Not Now but expanded on it to include:
God is listening and he will answer...
1. in his own time
2. in his own way
3. in his own power
4. for his own purpose
You have gotten an answer....that answer may be wait or God may be saying no because what he has in mind is better ("immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine" -- Eph. 3:20).
Ask yourself if you're praying for a solution you've decided will satisfy your desires/needs OR if you are praying for God to give you the solution he decides is best for you. ...this can make a huge difference in your ability to hear God's answers. When you ask God for something, you have to accept that, like a good father, he is going to say no if he knows the thing you want will ultimately harm you. It doesn't hurt to be specific when you ask for things you want...but it can be hard to hear his no through the noise of your own desires. If you aren't hearing the answer you want, try asking for something else...specifically, try telling him what you really need (the "why" part of the solution you've been praying for), and ask him what he has in mind.

Send him a letter. I bet no one does that. God can't answer everyone's prayers. It's frustrating I know when it feels like God isn't listening, but I'm sure that that there is a good reason for him not to. Perhaps he wants you to figure it out for yourself, with your own strength. If it's a prayer for another person. then have no idea. God has his divine plan and we really can't go against it, because we have no control over it.
I hope whatever you're asking for you get though :)

Is it possible that the answer is no! God answers all prayers. Also, our prayers are answered in his timing, not ours. There are conditions to prayers. We are to be in His Will. Are you in the will of God. Are you rebelling against him in any way?
The Bible also teaches us that we don't receive because we don't ask for the right things. Ask God to reveal to you anything that is not of His Will and take care of it. God will hear you.

God always answers prayers. Sometimes we just don't like the answers. Sometimes the answer is no or not now. God does not give us what we want , he gives us what we need.

I've found that if I'm praying for something that involves me personally, it's usually an ego-satisfaction. If my praying is right, it's that I may be of some help to you.

Keep praying. Sometimes God answers them sometimes He doesn't. Just keep praying. It will be answered. An answer can be No answer.

Well it depends on the faith and if it is good for you to have your prayer answered. Its for your own good you know even if the answer is no.

bypass to a quiet place the place you only isn't afflicted and concentration your interest on God and get actual with him approximately your emotions and concerns and with your words confer with Him, provide him time to answer, that's a communique. one speaks the different listens and responds. it is like that with God.
