prayed and prayed where you realized or felt that either you must be doing something wrong or you just don't deserve for your prayers to be answered or you are actually losing faith? Can you help not losing faith? Cause thats the last thing I want to fall into!!

Yes - until I realized that it is I who have to take responsibility for my life.

When you pray, pray in faith. When you pray in your Heavenly Father's will then your prayers are always answered. God doesn't answer some prayers and not others because someone is more or less deserving. Whenever I asked my earthly dad for something that I knew he wanted for me to have, he gave it to me gladly. However, sometimes those things I asked for that he wanted me to have were not given to me when I asked because of my own disobedience.
When in doubt about prayer, pray as the disciples did when they asked that their faith be increased. God always grants that request. Blessings to you.

Find your joy in Him and you'll find Him in prayer. I too, have felt at times that God was not listening to my prayers, but He was...
Sometimes He had to SHOW me the yes's and no's in my life as His answers to my prayers, because something was getting in the way of my "feeling" the answers, during prayer... but when I did see it and kept on going in my obedience toward Him, the emotion and the immediate answers returned.

If your prayer is sincere and honest it will will be answered. If you fail to receive it exactly as you want, He will give you something better in its place. You have to have faith and trust as part of the deal.

Of course. we all as christians feel unworthy. thats because without Jesus' sacrifice, we wouldn't be. And as far as loosing faith,,, Satan has a way of bringing obsticles upon us, temptations just to destroy our faith. Life is hard and it is when we loose our faith, we should turn to him and pray for exactly that. I have many times in my life through my trials told satan out loud that he cant convince me of anything that jesus lives within me and where light lives...darkness cannot enter. Keep your head up and remember "faith the size of a mustard seed can move a mountain..." I'll be praying for you...

Yes I have, but I tell you now, you are not forsaken. Jesus once said If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. (John 15:7) meaning if you seek Him and let His words abide in you, you will know what you are to pray for, what is important, or what is needed. See, in His words(the bible) you find His will for you, and then when you pray, your will and His will for you, become one together. Concerning faith, this is simple. faith is as simple as depending on a savior, The Savior, Jesus. Trust Him, He gives you all you need.

Don't worry about losing your faith. When it finally happens you will be delighted with your new life. You will wonder how on earth you managed to retain your faith for so long.

God answers prayers :
yes
later
no
I believe if you keep asking God for the same thing over and over you are showing your lack of faith.
Pray and just let God worry about the rest.
Let go and let God
He knows and wants the best for His children.

Sometimes God answers no, and that's because He knows there's something awaiting you in the future that's better.
