The reasons your prayer is not answered.

Prayer is the way by which human being talks to God.

I have heard people asking why their prayers is not answered by God. Some even give up their faith because they prayed and did not see the result of their prayer. Some even go to the extence of saying there is no God because they did not see the result of their prayer. Have you ever ponder on why your prayer is not been answered ? If not, follow me on this thread as am going to explaine to you what can hinders your prayer.

Who are the people that have right to pray?

The people that have right to prayer are the people who believe in existence of God. They are the people who have right to prayer. Or how will you call on whom does not exist or whom you don't believe?

The reasons your prayer is not answer are

1. Faith - Even though you believe in God existence but not have faith due to doubting weither God can give what you are asking or not you cannot receive from God.

....6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the win
7 for let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from Lord
8 he his a double-minded man unstable in all his ways.
James 1:6-8

2. Sins - through prayer we demand things from God but before we demand from him, God had demanded things from us and that thing God demands from us is to be obedient to his words. A sinner is disobedient child. So, when we are in sin, it reduces our faith in God because we knows that we are not qualify for what we are asking and this can hinder our prayer. The Jews believed that God does not listen to the prayer of sinners. And if we look in to the scripture we would see that, those that pray effective prayer are those that really obey God.

Behold, the lord hand's is not shortened, that it cannot save: neither his ear heavy, that he can not hear 2. But your iniquities have separated between you and your God and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear .Isaiah 59:1-2

3 wrongful prayer- this is when you ask in prayer for things against the will of God. Eg prayer for one enemy to die, prayer for one to misbehave to your own benefit, prayer for someone to fall so that you can rise,

ye ask but receive not because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lost. James 4:3

you also know the things you asked that are wrong.

4.God's plan over our life- there are some things that human beings cannot see that God sees. God knows our past,present and futures. He know is plan for us. If we are praying for something that is not in accordance with Gods plan for us, we may not see the result of our prayer also when we are asking for things at the wrong time, God may not grant our wish at that time but delay it to come to pass at his own proper time. The time that we would be free of danger that may befall us if we have it at our own time. For instance, what do you think would happen to Abraham if he was praying not to leave his father land throughout his life time? When Jesus prayed that 'the cup should be over passed him but the will of God should be done. Later It was the will of God that was done.
Or what do you think would happen if eight years old boy was praying that God should give him wife

I must say here that the time of prayer should be the time to examine ourselves, if we are doing what God wants or what God does not want. If we find sin in our way, we must ask for forgiveness and determine to forsake that sin.Also it should be the time to be firmed in our faith and believe and to trust God. Its when we do this that we can offer an effective prayer.

Scripture states that God does not answer the prayers of the unrighteous; the pleas and requests and every petition of the unrighteous are tainted by their sins(disobedience/unholiness) and are hence an abomination to God. So, what is definite is that even your many pleas for the forgiveness of sins are not answered by God given that God made no special exemptions for that kind of pleas. No amount of praying can cause God to change His mind regarding that which concerns the unrighteous by the way. So if you are thinking of prescribing more prayers that only means you really don't understand or know God at all.

God, however, openly bragged about how He only answers the prayers of the righteous; He delights in granting them the desires of their heart meaning that they are those who are loved by Him. For this very reason, Jesus Christ urged His followers to seek first the Kingdom of God and God's Righteousness in order that all things— the blessings and rewards of the Kingdom of God(holiness), answers to prayers included—shall be added on to them. And as Jesus Christ explained in His Gospel, the only way to become Holy, and then also Righteous, is by way of continuous submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, god's Truth and Law in the Kingdom of god - John 8 vs 31 - 36 & John 14 vs 15 - 23. Jesus Christ is the only way. Obedience to the Truth of God is the one and only path to righteousness. No amount of praying and other religious rituals can accomplish that.

You need to understand the meaning of the word "amiss" in order to realize what James was instead trying to tell you in that verse that you pulled from his epistle. If you consult Webster's dictionary, you will find that the word means to be in an imperfect state, a state that is not in the right order aka unrighteous.

Amiss

1. : not being in accordance with the right order. : faulty, imperfect.

What James was saying in that verse is that the reason you do not receive from God is that you are asking in an unrighteous state—a state that is not in accordance with God's mandate of righteousness. So, clearly, you cannot benefit anything from remaining in an unrighteous state as far as God is concerned. That is what God said, and James reiterated it in that verse there.

Unrighteousness is the one and only hindrance to answers to prayers.
