Do you actually believe your prayers are being answered the moment you pray? There's a difference between hope and believe. |

In the process of asking from God there are things you must note as a matured believer. First and foremost you must be patient with him , he is the king of kings so wait for as long as possible. Secondly ask or pray in faith , you must believe that he has answered your prayers also you might need to humble yourself through fasting. Learn how to give to the needy in the society and to genuine men of God as you give to the orphans, he will also have mercy on you. Then look for scriptures that are relevant to your need according to John 15vs 7. Lastly ask according to his will and purpose for your life. 2 Likes 1 Share |

elantraceey:Lol. The crap I read on this site sometimes is astounding. How can you 'believe' your prayers are being answered the moment you pray? Wouldn't that imply that you somehow 'know' the prayers are part of God's plan? 1 Like |

esere826:So there is no method to this madness called faith? No ropes to learn, just make a wish and maybe the big Skydaddy up above the clouds will grant them. Maybe he favors those who pray on Wednesdays? Recent scientific research by Christians scientists in the city of Umig, Htbec Razy region, found out that prayers performed during the early hours of the morning statistically receive more answers. This, the scientists discovered, might be due to the polar position of the East-West Coordinate above the equatorial regions of Bulls Hit Island. At these times, this polar position is symmetrically aligned to the eternal radians of the Heavens, as revealed in the Book of Revelations. 1 Like |

OP... you have to follow these steps 1. Before you pray, sing songs of praises and thank God for all the things he already gave you. 2.Make sure you ask according to the will of GOD. If its not in his plan for your life, you won't get it. 3. Ask in faith. Believe even when everything seems to be going in the opposite direction. 4. Give. The best way to receive is to give. 5.Ask diligently and meditate on scriptures like matthew 7:7. 6:pray for the forgiveness of sins(our sins can sometimes stand btw us and our breakthroughs) 4 Likes 1 Share |

Lol... Why do I have a feeling that u are praying for husband. Well, think prayer is only answered when u work towards what u want to achieve. The reality is that we can only work hard and leave the rest. The sadder reality is that there is no sky daddy who answers any prayer. But no vexooo. These Christians, una no de use una brain? U guys see an obvious fact and still want to continue pretending and living in self deciet. Even the replies above proves that everyone is doing a guess work on this prayer thingy. All these trial and error advice... Una no de tire? Pray with faith: e no work Have patience: ti ti lai lai Give for praying: u go tire Sing song before praying: duh... So? Ask diligently: no I was asking like a mad man. Go and read open heavens: seriously? The bible is not enough again? There is difference between hope and believe: looooool!! Pray for forgiveness OF SIN: now I am a sinner? Hmmmm And no one even asked her to work harder to achieve her goal... Everyone is waiting for magic. Seriously Nigeria is in trouble. 2 Likes |

Gracelilian: Three things are important for your prayer to be answered One: make sure you are holy(righteous) Two: you must have faith in God Three: it must be in line with the word and will of God 2 Likes |

trapQ: SO WHY BOTHER AT ALL IF THERE'S ALREADY A PLAN FOR YOU? PRAYING IS AN ACT OF DOUBT, NOT FAITH. CUS IF YOU BELIEVED IN HIS PLAN THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY NEED TO CONSTANTLY ASK FOR THINGS OR REMIND JESUS OF WHAT TO DO.  |

frank317:slowpoke, listen attentively and listen well, God saith the heaven is his and earth he has given to the son of men...he dwells in heaven and earth simultaneously... He is a mystery you can't comprehend... When you visit a prophet and he started revealing deep secrets to you like even mentioning the date something bad happened to you, you will be surprised, you will seem to know that someone was speaking to him, who could that be like, is it your father...  ONLY PEOPLE WHO WISH THERE IS NO GOD SAYS THERE IS NO GOD... COS OF THE EVIL THEY WANNA GET AWAY WITH |

Gracelilian:Due to the cherry-picking ritual that is the religion of Christianity with its over 47,000 different You see, Scripture states that God does not answer the prayers of the unrighteous; the pleas and requests and every petition, praise, offering, work, plea, sacrifice, etc., 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 plea. 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 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 he loves. For this very reason, Jesus Christ urged His followers to seek first the Kingdom of God and God's Righteousness so that all things— the blessings and rewards of the Kingdom of God(holiness), answers to prayers included—shall be added on to them. 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 only path to God and His righteousness. No amount of praying and other religious rituals can accomplish that. God deals indirectly with the unrighteous, the same way He deals with the unbelievers including the wicked and the ungrateful and that is by pouring out His mercy and kindness on them daily. So every time as an unrighteous you feel that God has answered your prayer know that at that same moment, or moments before that, God also provided the same mercy or similar to someone else across the world — or maybe just across from you— who does not even believe in God, nor asked God for anything. So, if answers from God are what you seek, then do what Jesus Christ said you should, which is to seek first the Kingdom of God(holiness), and then God's righteousness, so that all these things —the blessings and rewards of the Kingdom of God(including answers to prayers) can be added to you. |

elantraceey:God of Israel and Jesus Christ said the prayers of the unrighteous are not answered by Him. It does not matter how long you pray, whether you hope or "believe", so long as one is unrighteous, He does not answer prayers. Instead, He pours out His mercy at what may seem random to us on all of mankind, including those who hate Him. |
