What's wrong with me? My prayers are not answered. Have asked that question? You are welcomed to my crib. Let's have a friendly chitchat

Good morning and a beautiful Sunday to you...

I prayed and didn't get answers. It got me thinking, why do some people get answers and I don't. Maybe, I am doing it the wrong way or am I doing it with an unclear conscience or am I in doubt? what's wrong?
I know you have asked that kind of question. I pray God answers you through me. Amen

Let's pray
Father in heaven, we thank you for your gift of Jesus, the gift of this new day and your love which you shed in our hearts. We thank you for all you have done and all you will do. We come before you in great humility and submit our will to your kingship. Open our hearts and mind sto receive you. Speak to us through your words in ways we can understand and let your spirit in us reveal you to us.
We ask you in Jesus name. Amen


Causes of unanswered prayers:
1) You may have been asking amiss and with wrong motives
(James 4:3) KJV
What are your intentions? Are they right? God is not a man that he can be deceived he searches your hearts and knows your genuine intentions. Are you praying so that people will say: haa! she is a prayer warrior (like the Pharisee) or are you really seeking a connection and pouring out to God. Are you praying to boast to men that your prayers get answered?
Check your motives dear loved one.
Soln: Keep asking God to teach you his ways that you may die to pride or showmanship. Consciously rebuke those thoughts when they come. You have the power of resurrection in you.
2) He will answer you.

Come confidently to his throne of mercy and grace.
Some come with "let me try if this thing will even work" Hmmm...(I did that before)
God is more willing to answer you than you are to ask. (Jeremiah 29:12)
He loves you and will hear you when you cry out (Psalm 106:43-45)
So come as you are

3) The prayer of a righteous man:
(James 5:16)

Sincerely ask God for forgiveness for the sins you have done. But wait, you can't use God. You can't apologize just to get what you want from him and turn back to your evil ways.
Life in Christ is the best. Choose it.

4) Ask the holy spirit to help u:
(Romans 8:26)
He is the helper. He will help you even when words can't express how you feel (isn't he a good God that even provides help when our strengths have failed)

5) Ask in Jesus name:
John 15:16:
The father will give you whatever you ask of him in my name. Jesus is the key to get to the father. (Note this it is important)

6) Pray his word:
Give God his words and the promise of his words will be your portion (Don't forget to do it with faith). Pray the bible. As you study the word daily if any part speaks to you, use it as a prayer. It is his word and you know it is important to him. Write it done and make prophetic declarations about them

7)Thank God
Gratitude is very important. Even if you didn't see the manifestation yet (Philippians 4:6)
It is pride that makes you not to thank him (2 Chronicles 32:25)
Thank him cos he has already done it for you.

cool Submit it to his will:
Patience is important. Wait! it may not be time yet. But whilecyou wait what should you do?...Thanksgiving cos he has done it already.

Some prayers need you to call those faithful to help you so that their faith can help your faith (Matt 18:19) (James 5:14-15)

Faith is the bedrock. No prayer works without faith. Forget about the problem. It is difficult I know but you have to try dear loved one.
Devil will bring doubt, confess the assurance of the answered prayer. Dance when ever you remember it. Cos it has been answered.
You can also make a covenant with God (some kind of petitions need this) Let's the spirit lead you in this..he will speak to you about it and how to go about it. You are blessed
Those changed my prayer life. I am glad to share them with you, beloved.

So Let's go and do it the right way.
Your faithfully
Love


I pray God will answer all our prayers.. Amen.

the words are not the prayers. the feelings are the prayer. how you feel before and after you asked determines whether you get answers or not.

Re: Why Are My Prayers Not Answered?? by akdjr(m): 10:32am On Jul 26, 2020
Na u de giver answer to the prayers? God u don't know or ever heard from but exist in our mind. You're telling ur fellow human how he answer prayers. That ur prayers or whatever has been met does not mean if everyone does same thing the prayer request will be answered. God work in a mystery way. I have seen people who pray for fruit of womb yet not no child while those who has had multiple abortion had babies and even go for family planning. Drop that book! U don't need any religion book to be closer to God. God write any book for human . He gave each and everyone of us brain.

Your prayers aren't answered because the person you're praying to doesn't exist!
Prayers don't work! If they do, most Nigerians would be billionaires in dollars and Nigeria will be a better country than China.

You are trying too hard sir... Let's stay within the bounds of commonsense here.

There are as many irreligious individuals here as there are religious, non-praying as there are praying... How well are those not praying doing??! And how far have they bettered the nation??!...

Let those who wish to pray do so, and those who don't keep their way... That's called tolerance! Learn it!

Even as a born again christian... I think this is truth in it....

I think most of the reasons our prayers are not answered is because we don't know what we want from God.

I think it wrong to ask God to do something that you can take care of. How can you ask God to heal you of headache when God has given us the knowledge to produce it's solutions.

You pray for a contract that you don't know anything about. You don't have any certificatify quality in the field, you don't know anyone in the praying area and you want a miraculous prayers to take you there.

You pray to God to give you knowledge when you have all the time to read your books and give yourself a disciplinary study to have the knowledge.

Listen. God Do things beyond human imaginations and not any casual thing that you are capable to handles.

I stop shouting AMEN! To all those unnecessary prophecies from some of these self -claim men of God because, I realized that God has personally given me the power to go after it and claim.



And it's wrong to ask God for so many things in one time prayer Because at the end, you won't know what you were asking for.



Please. Stop disturbing God over a problem you can solved. Just praise God and get more grace to excelled.


Above all... Live right with God.
This is exactly the point many failed to understand... You just nailed it...!!

So Let's go and do it the right way.
Your faithfully
Love

If your christian prayers were real, Aso rock and Nigeria as a whole would not be where it is today. You so called religious are a disgusting lot.

What's wrong with me? My prayers are not answered. Have asked that question? You are welcomed to my crib. Let's have a friendly chitchat

Good morning and a beautiful Sunday to you...

I prayed and didn't get answers. It got me thinking, why do some people get answers and I don't. Maybe, I am doing it the wrong way or am I doing it with an unclear conscience or am I in doubt? what's wrong?
I know you have asked that kind of question. I pray God answers you through me. Amen

Let's pray
Father in heaven, we thank you for your gift of Jesus, the gift of this new day and your love which you shed in our hearts. We thank you for all you have done and all you will do. We come before you in great humility and submit our will to your kingship. Open our hearts and mind sto receive you. Speak to us through your words in ways we can understand and let your spirit in us reveal you to us.
We ask you in Jesus name. Amen


Causes of unanswered prayers:
1) You may have been asking amiss and with wrong motives
(James 4:3) KJV
What are your intentions? Are they right? God is not a man that he can be deceived he searches your hearts and knows your genuine intentions. Are you praying so that people will say: haa! she is a prayer warrior (like the Pharisee) or are you really seeking a connection and pouring out to God. Are you praying to boast to men that your prayers get answered?
Check your motives dear loved one.
Soln: Keep asking God to teach you his ways that you may die to pride or showmanship. Consciously rebuke those thoughts when they come. You have the power of resurrection in you.
2) He will answer you.

Come confidently to his throne of mercy and grace.
Some come with "let me try if this thing will even work" Hmmm...(I did that before)
God is more willing to answer you than you are to ask. (Jeremiah 29:12)
He loves you and will hear you when you cry out (Psalm 106:43-45)
So come as you are

3) The prayer of a righteous man:
(James 5:16)

Sincerely ask God for forgiveness for the sins you have done. But wait, you can't use God. You can't apologize just to get what you want from him and turn back to your evil ways.
Life in Christ is the best. Choose it.

4) Ask the holy spirit to help u:
(Romans 8:26)
He is the helper. He will help you even when words can't express how you feel (isn't he a good God that even provides help when our strengths have failed)

5) Ask in Jesus name:
John 15:16:
The father will give you whatever you ask of him in my name. Jesus is the key to get to the father. (Note this it is important)

6) Pray his word:
Give God his words and the promise of his words will be your portion (Don't forget to do it with faith). Pray the bible. As you study the word daily if any part speaks to you, use it as a prayer. It is his word and you know it is important to him. Write it done and make prophetic declarations about them

7)Thank God
Gratitude is very important. Even if you didn't see the manifestation yet (Philippians 4:6)
It is pride that makes you not to thank him (2 Chronicles 32:25)
Thank him cos he has already done it for you.

cool Submit it to his will:
Patience is important. Wait! it may not be time yet. But whilecyou wait what should you do?...Thanksgiving cos he has done it already.

Some prayers need you to call those faithful to help you so that their faith can help your faith (Matt 18:19) (James 5:14-15)

Faith is the bedrock. No prayer works without faith. Forget about the problem. It is difficult I know but you have to try dear loved one.
Devil will bring doubt, confess the assurance of the answered prayer. Dance when ever you remember it. Cos it has been answered.
You can also make a covenant with God (some kind of petitions need this) Let's the spirit lead you in this..he will speak to you about it and how to go about it. You are blessed
Those changed my prayer life. I am glad to share them with you, beloved.

So Let's go and do it the right way.
Your faithfully
Love

with all these explanations of God and how to seek him, you people make him look unreachable

With my experiences in spirituality I have come to realize that reaching God has no formula, he responds to individuals differently, just reach out to him the way you know how to, don't read any manual anywhere

You are trying too hard sir... Let's stay within the bounds of commonsense here.

There are as many irreligious individuals here as there are religious, non-praying as there are praying .. How well are those not praying doing??! And how far have they bettered the nation??!...

Let those who wish to pray do so, and those who don't keep their way... That's called tolerance! Learn it!

@bold.. You want to start deceiving yourself.

There are as many irreligious people as religious people in Nigeria? The irreligious people in Nigeria are probably not upto 5% of the entire Nigerian population.

You lack the commonsense you are talking about.
