Cos it doesn't work.. and who are you praying to by the way?
Do you know how many so called pastors keep praying on a daily yet no single change..

Prayer may relieve a sense of anxiety and stress but no it does not solve problems. A solution to a problem may be coincidental with prayer.. but it certainly is not caused by prayer...

Solution to problems do not come from on high or an imaginary creature..
They are devised by man..if not devised by man.. they are chance events. When we accept that we will not be inclined to put so much pressure on an imaginary creature if there were to be one...

What you're saying in essense is that their is No God anywhere that answere's prayer. Bro you're wrong.

LordReed:
So do you always get answers to your prayers?

Sir, are you aware that NO! Is also an answer and it is well within God's discretion to deny us some requests if he sees that what we are asking of Him will not give him glory or is not the best for us or is not just the right time. The problem is that the only answer most people want to hear is yes , OK and delivered! God is not your personal genie that grants all your wishes, wants and desires.

Prayer is an interaction with God, Jesus gave out a template on how prayers are to be made, this is called the Lord's prayer.
The following are some of the principles of prayer.

1. Prayer is to be addressed to the Father. Not that we cannot pray to Jesus, or address the holy Spirit but however it is not ideal, this is because there are roles and positions in the Trinity. The father is the primary source and father of us all including Jesus. Therefore prayers should be addressed to God the father not Jesus.

2 God should be addressed with absolute reverence and honor, our whole attention should be focused on the prayer, our language should be one of maximum honor and respect.

3. Our prayers should be kingdom centered not self centered to gratify our flesh remember he is the father of all spirits.

4. What we ask should be according to his will, not our lust .

5.prayers should be in the name of Jesus for this is our authority and right.

6. Avoid vain repetition, our words should be few.

7. Prayers of warfare of warfare and deliverance should be done in christ authority.

8. Don't demand for the death of any body, that alone can cancel your prayer.

9. Your spirit should be connected with the spirit of God, edify your spirit.

10. Praises and Thanksgiving should fill your heart instead of complaining and murmurings.

11. Ask what you need.

12 when praying listen to what the spirit is saying, after prayer expect what you have asked.

14. Dont tempt God. Like asking God for healing but ignore medical warning or refuse treatment, asking God for good result but you don't read, or knowing something is not right for you but asking God to give you anyway.

15. Some prayers actually need to be back up with fasting, some prayers need to be prayed prophetically, there are prayers we need to pray with other believers, that is why we must listen to the holy spirit ( I am going to write on how the holy spirit speak to us some day).

16. Infact before stating your request examine yourself to see if there is iniquity in you, ask for forgiveness and for the Lord to cleanse you and also you must have forgiven others also.
An unforgiven person cannot hope to get forgiveness but as Christians we forgive because christ has forgiven us.

Some Christians do not believe in asking God for the forgiveness of their sins because the scripture says God has already forgiven us.


While indeed we are forgiven of our sins in christ, however we still need to sanctify ourself and these require that we ask for forgiveness of our sins.

People do not get answers to their prayers because they pray wrongly.

People don't get answers to their prayer because God rarely answers prayer.
If God have destined you would get rich at 45 even if you start praying @10 my brother you would only get frustrated. When @ 45 his time eventually comes he gives it to you.
God does his things at his own time. Know this and have peace.

Depends on what you mean by answer, most times we equate only positive outcomes as having been answered by God, sometimes the answer could be, NO,my son, what you're asking for will not be good for you, but we'll keep asking for the same thing

If it is not scientifically proven then it doesn't exist.

Steep:
yes, but not always the way I expected.

Really? So I guess it means you haven't been praying for Nigeria or for us unbelievers to be saved.

Lovely, I like #6 the most.
Hypocrite Christians make you think if you don't pray for at least 1hr, God won't hear u.

God is Jesus, Jesus is God.

God have answered and will still answer my prayers just that it's may not be the time you want that thing but God answers prayers!

LordReed:

The op is not wrong. No is also an answer so if you ask God for something and He says 'NO' or NOT YET, He has answered you. It may not be the answer you desire, but its still an answer.

One can only be amazed how you always act as though you are the most knowledgeable being(i.e you know all the answers to the universes questions,
Like you've studied and no know the details of the pillars that hold the earth,what is in the black hole,
And how you think all the answers are in your head and nothing is mysterious and hidden to you)
It's very laudable to be a critical thinker, but you should understand that it also involves submitting yourself to the path of a learner first...
A topic as big as religion and God and the supernatural should be off limits.... Because like it or not for and institution and a discussion as wide and large as "GOD" to gather such large fellowship is beyond you and your inconsequential opinion on Naira land Twitter or anywhere.....your thoughts of it doesn't change any of it's truths...
I understand you trying to emulate other men of critical inclination but thread with caution (cos only you knows the inner workings of your heart and mind) so as not to betray your public confessions by praying in secret and vice versa.....
Albert Einstein ( one of the pioneers of critical thinking) has never for one day said their is no God or what you have said in all your posts and comments.......There are bigger things than you bro and you need to understand that you can't always understand it.....
P.S
I leave you with this soundbite from a warri friend in respect to the existence of God,Jesus and Divinity,..("pikin wey nor believe say I'm mama dey, when dey born am I'm go confam the matter"...
SHALOM BROTHER.

That's because no god/God exists anywhere.
Nobody is listening to your prayers.
It's like talking to a rock.

Mom007:

________________________________________

Lots of people pray but they don't see results because ;
1. There's absence of faith(Christian/non-Christian, as long as you believe and have faith that you'll receive what you've asked for then you'll surely receive).
2. There's room for doubt.
3. They don't know their redemptive right in Christ.


Mr.Poster, concerning your no.1; don't try to confuse yourself..... God-the-Father, God-the-Son, and God-the-Holy spirit are one. The Holy spirit is the spirit of God and just like we have it there's no how you'll be in Cameroon and your spirit is in Canada. The moment your spirit tries to separate from your body then you're a dead person. It's only God that can be everywhere at the same time. My point here's that the same way your spirit dwells inside of you, that's the same way God's spirit (The Holy spirit) dwells inside of Him so not minding which of the God head you're praying to, your prayers will still be answered as long as you have faith.
Moreover JESUS said in the Bible that "No one can see God-the-father without first acknowledging God-the-son". so when you're praying don't leave the Holy spirit and Jesus aside all in the name of "I'm focusing on God-the-father" No my dear, try your best and realize that there are one... There's no big, great or least in God's kingdom, they are all equal.

LordReed:

Difference is God is not an ATM machine where you press pin code and get what you want. He is God, He decides. He answers YES, NO, Not yet like the fellow said.

tremilatre:
Simply because we pray out if emotion and without biblical guidance.
I never for once read about Jesus or the apostles praying "fall down and die" or against their enemies.
They never pray for blessing. We pray about vain things and expect to get answers. God is not vain.
The Lord's prayer is a good guide to how we should pray.

what about the part that says our daily bread?

Image123:

Then everybody gets their prayer answered by the god and the OP's assertion fails.
