Your mind is your problem. God does not favor someone because he or she is not committing sin. It is good to stay pure but there is something more to seeking God's help and finding breakthrough financially. And prayer never fails except you have your own answer template in mind. Humble yourself and learn.

Your first issue is understanding why God does not answer your prayers. And it is important to know this so you do not continue to labor in vain.

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 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 he loves. 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. 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.

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, in order that all these things —the blessings and rewards of the Kingdom of God(including answers to prayers) can be added to you.

You need to also 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. Basically, to ask amiss means to ask while existing in an unright/unrighteous state.

So, clearly, you cannot benefit anything directly from God as long as you remain in an unrighteous state. That is what God said, and James reiterated in that verse there.

I love your reply...

Nah... No one and I repeat no one can live without sin. If we are to judge by righteousnrss or so you as a person isn't close to it.... The fact however remains that God dosent subscribe to sin but we are humans not "God" we are bound to sin but knowing we commit sins and asking for forgiveness each time is the key.... Let's be factual sometimes....

I am afraid your claims make no sense as far as scripture is concerned. You are not the one to judge righteousness. God alone is the one capable of approving a man righteous and this after the man has attained holiness through continuous submission and obedience to His Law.

2. God doesn't subscribe to sin yet God gave us a Law that clearly defines that which is sin against Him and gives us one mandate which is that we submit to and Obey His Law in order that we may experience His love? You never read Scripture for your own self, have you?

Well if my claim dosent make sense then it shows how shallow your knowledge about God is.
Guess it will take me to write on paper for you to grab.
Shalom.

At Ieast as a spokesperson, I parrot what my God says. You on the other hand seem to believe you are God's very own oga or even equal since what He says does not seem to matter at all to your claimed belief in Him. In fact, God's talk amounts to gibberish to your configuration of faith there.

Have heard you.
Let's stick with what we know...
No quarrel.

What about those that are not praying or doesn't even believe God exist but prosperous in all ways of life 🤔

Let me take u to India and see those Hinduism whereby they don't even know who is Jesus and they are more very much more prosperous ....

See religion and nature are of different thing.
Some people are born to be wealthy or rich or probably because of d family they born them into while some are in d other way round ..

So no matter how u pray and fast ur destiny cannot be altered ..

Even if u want to do blood money if u are destined to be poor the herbalist will tell u and it won't work for you 🤔🤔🤔🤔

SO IN CONCLUSION EVERYTHING IS NOT ABOUT RELIGION OR PRAYER 🤲

scientist didn't pray before they could create jet aeroplane mobile phone smart tv etc instead they work more on research and they achieve it bro

Before you go rambling on, go back through the text you supposedly responded to and take time to carefully read and digest with is written in order to realize that even your questions were sufficiently answered in there.

Brother if US and UK are religious as Nigeria they wouldn't have developed so far till date yet we Nigerians observe more prayers and fasting than they do ..

Bro drop that myopic thought and let's face reality..

You can help the dude with money if you have but not with preaching because this forum is not for religious purposes ..

He is hungry and need food

This is yet another problem that is the religion of Christianity. God said those who follow Him no longer work for food that perishes - John 6 vs 25 - 35 -- but here you are insisting that there is a job out there that God will give him, making God a liar.

You are still rambling because none of what you are on has anything to do with I made known in that text. As a matter it seems you didn't even bother to read through it at all so I have no clue why you keep directing this clearly unrelated responses of yours at my person.

Apart from sin, there are other factors that can hinder prayers. These factors include:

✓Loving God with all your heart: You need to come to level where you tell God, "if I perish I perish." God has to see that you truly love him with all your heart.(Mark 12:30, 1Corinthians 15:19)

✓Unwavering faith: Ensure you do not doubt him in anyway.

✓Accepting the thought of Satan as yours:
2 Corinthians 10: 5 make us to understand that Satan works on our imagination. Sometimes, he reminds you of your sins. Sometimes, he makes you to see God as one doesn't care or incapable. When such thought comes speak life to yourself. Search for scriptures that speaks against such thought, say it out, believe it and reject Satan's thought.

✓The Refining Process: Oh, how I love this scripture "Isaiah 43 : 2"! I can remember vividly, when I was in a very difficult situation, this verse gave me strength. It gave me assurance that God is with me, so I had zero fear.
Sometimes, God allows us to go through difficult moments because he want to work on us; either to add something or remove something. Trust me, if you can be patient, you will glad you went that process.
(Romans 5: 3-5)

✓Light / Understanding: Psalm 119:144b says, "Give me understanding oh Lord, and I shall live.
Luke 15: 8 says, "It is impossible to find a thing without turning the light on." This leads to praying amiss (James 4:3). I hate talking about myself but I have to use myself as reference. I once prayed for an issue for 13 years of my life and then one day God opened my eyes to the reason for the problem. So this time I wasn't praying about the problem; rather I I went to the root of it, and fixed it . Problem solved. So may be while you pray, ask for light/ understanding.

I wish you good luck!
