Waiting for God's Answers

Yes, I do believe God answers prayers. I have a lot of prayers that got answered by God. I've been praying a laptop from God for months and I got one as a graduation gift. The thing is, God doesn't answer everything we are asking of Him because sometimes what we are asking is not what God has in mind. We just have to remember that God has only the best things for us. ^^

I definitely believe that God answers our prayers. We should pray true heartedly with no evil intentions on our mind and God will surely hear our prayers.Whenever I am down,happy,in my troubled times,I had always turn to Him and seek his guidance and blessings.Sometimes,it may take time for God to answer your prayer but we should not stop believing in Him and always keep the faith.Happy myLotting!

First that my oldest son overcomes his bitterness and comes back to salvation and God along with his wife and children. He is bitter and mad at God for 7 years now since his first babies twin boys were still born he has not and refuses counseling for this. Over the last 3 years my once very close family has gone through a lot of emotional and mental anquish and trauma. Now because of this and specifically because of one of my sons wives the sons are estranged from one another and one is distant from us and hardly ever talks to us. The wife of one tried to take the newborn baby girl of the other because the older sons wife is an attorney and wanted a girl and has boys. She lied and said her then best friend and sister in law and brother in law my son were abusing their 2 month old daughter. This was the day after Christmas and she had only seen them and the baby for the first time then. We were there too and had visited the accused son and wife home often prior to Christmas. They had not, it was trumped up lies and finally after 2 years CPS found it was all a pack of lies after they made them jump through hoops and hurdles and finally gave their daughter back to them. I pray for family healing and restitution. My husband and I will be celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary next spring and both of us will be also celebrating our 60th birthdays his February and Mine in August. Our daughter wants to have a big 40/60 party celebrating our combined 120 years of live and 40 years of marriage. But the way things are not all the family will attend and this breaks my heart. I miss my family they are important to me each and every one of them so my biggest prayer is the healing and re-nification of my family, children, siblings. The next is income to pay off my husband school loans. Those three are the big ones

well, i never pray to god since years ago, i don't remember when it was. before i used to pray as i had been told. i prayed when i needed somethings, wanted to thank god, admitted my sins and praised him. but i found that during praying, my mind didn't focus on god himself. instead, it focused on the objects i wanted him to grant, the objects i prayed for. it's really bewildering and disappointing, as i know that our highest desired spiritual state is when we can always think of god, remember of god and dominate our mind with the idea of god (not with the objects i want him to grant). moreover, god knows everything, he knows everything about us, even a single thought that emerges in our mind. he know once it emerges, even he knows before it emerges. so, what is the point to tell god what he already knows exactly (he even knows much better about us than ourselves do). isn't it the best way to make him irritated? if your father already know what you want and you keep telling him what it is, won't your father get irritated and upset? so, i stopped praying. but i always try my best to dominate my mind with the idea of god, to remember him, to always think of him. and so far, i think i don't have something that i (and the people i know) need but god haven't given me (and them) that. well, that's just my experience

My concerns are not about myself. God has been very good to me. But I cry to the Lord for my loved one. My number one concern is for my mother be totally healed and be restored to her normal healthy stage. And I am always trusting that God answer prayers. God never failed me, not even once. People sometimes tire up for they thought God did not answer them. But, we just have to be more sensitive how He answers. It is not always Yes, it could be NO or sometimes wait. So we have to be patient: Psalm 40:1-2 I waited patiently for the LORD; And He inclined to me and heard my cry. He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay, And He set my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm.

Yes God answer but we do not read that or act on that. God is almighty and listen to each and every person send by him to the earth to discharges the given duties in life. These are we who do not perform rather pray and hope that the god will perform. God answer in the manner that you are going on and accomplish. If you have accomplished in a matter and your desire fulfilled it is the god doing it.

God answers prayers, He just does not always say what we want him to. Currently, I pray for people online as they express needs both here and on another site. I pray for my own children and grandchildren. I pray for things in my life, but some of them I know I have to do for myself. God is not going to wave a magic wand and make me wake up organized and motivated, for instance, although he may send me the tools to help me get there.

Actually, I do believe God answers prayers. I think He does it in a discreet fashion. I pray as often as I can and do it while driving, or resting, or whenever it feels I have the space. I ask for things like finacial help, and fixing things that need fixing in my life. I have a sweet story though. I had asked God for love. I mean, true, hopeless romantic faithful love. I got that 16 years ago and was too little to know what that meant. God answered my prayers last year. I waited patiently and got that. I knew this man as a child all those years ago and was so blessed that he was so perfect. Funny how things turn out. We had a falling out and just started talking to each other again. All because of prayer. I hope things work out in the future. I am trying to be patient, but over all God answers prayers all the time, you just have to look for it and be patient.

I always pray for my family to stay safe and healthy, pray for my friends in need and then I thank Him for all the blessings I have. I haven't asked for anything in ages. He's given me health, shelter, food and clothing and the love of my children, parents and siblings. What more could I want?

hi torchablazed I am still waiting for Gods answer as my son is outof work for a month now, we have a three day notice on our rent, and no lifeline yet in sight, I do believe and I do think eventually he will answer one way or another but I do wish he would hurry. I hate this situation and my son is really trying to get a new job as computer programer. I do not want to be here under duress but we just did not have money for the rent.pray for me mylotters perhaps united it will help.

The best way to deal with this thing about getting from God is to give everything to Him and He will give you what you need. If you try to get what you want you're likely to get stumped because God has a different perspective than you. He's not there to serve man, man is here to serve Him. So - give all and get all, kind of way, is the best.

Right now my prayers are for my church. We are struggling to stay afloat because we are a small town church with very few members. It's hard being in a small town with a bigger church nearby. My town is prodominently Catholic, so the majority of people go there. We hold onto the hope and faith that God will not let our small church go under because we have faith that he has great plans for us. Waiting for God's answers are part of what having faith is all about.

i believe he does answe prayers. i prayer for my children & grandchildren, friends who are sick or having trouble .i even pray for strangers on tv that are having bad trouble. i do believe he answers our prayers.

I always believe that the prayer never go unheared . GOD always answer for our true prayer. i heard that prayer is not rewardless.it is rewarded sooner or latter.if u think that your prayer is not answered then u have no faith in god.my dear friends! your prayer will be rewrded at the approperate time .HE will definately bless u at the time of your neccesity.

My prayer is and has been for a long time to be able to feel happy to be able to feel that I belonged some how and that I would find my purpose for being here !! I can't remember feel total happiness except for a few times in life and would like to know what it felt like to be happy all the time . To not stress and worry about things all the time . To be content with what I had and to feel accepted and loved for who and what I am . I would like to be able to hear a joke and think it was funny because I was in a good mood and not feeling so down in the dumps about everything in life .

There is a lot of power in prayer and if your answers don't come straight away they will do when you need them the most for whatever the concern you have..it has happened to me...littleowl

I firmly believe that God ALWAYS answers prayers, but who are we to know what we want/need? We may think that we may need something so bad, but in all reality it's not Gods plan for us. Either way that we look at it God takes care of each and everyone of us, and He will always be there for us. There is no reason to lose hope, hope is all we have. I remember when I was younger I prayed for a babydoll that i really wanted for Christmas, and I didn't get it. I was so upset and thought that I had prayed for it, and prayed for it every night but did not get it. I couldn't understand it. Quite a few years later at a yard sale, my son who I believe was only 2 picked up a doll and told me he wanted it. I looked at the doll and something inside of me said "This was the doll that you were praying for". It looked so meke and useless now, however, at the time it was everything to me. It was that day that I learned that it's not my time ( I am just a season), everything is on Gods time and he knows when it is right. So low and behold I have the doll now and I never play with it lol. I think i might have put it in another yard sale that I was hosting, hopefully it will help someone else as much as it did me. Great Discussion.

Hi, torchblazed. Your post reminds me of one of the few message-quotes I've been saving on my cellphone for the past two years and it goes something like this: "When God gives us 'NO' for an answer, keep in mind that there's a much greater 'YES' behind it. His 'NO' isn't a rejection... but a redirection." As for your question, yes, I do believe that God answers prayers, even those that we don't actually voice out loud. Of course, I had my own share of 'redirections' in life and, in retrospect, I find that it was all for the best. For example, there was this one thing I was praying for during my graduating year in college, something that I really wanted and was willing to do anything to achieve. Well, to make the long story short, I didn't get it. I was devastated then, couldn't even look certain people in the eye for quite a while, but, looking back, I think that if God had granted me that one wish, I don't think I would be as happy as I am now. Of course, I've also had a lot of prayers answered and I'm extremely grateful for them. God is good. =)

I believe God answer all our prayers. Sometimes it will takes time, and sometimes He wont grant our wishes for the reason that He has a better plan for us. Remember our thoughts are not what God thoughts is best for us. God knows what is best for us. I know cause i have experience that one too. And it is true at the right time He answered my prayer and i am a happy married person. I married a man who i believe is what God wants me to be with for the rest of my life. It took years before He answered it but it worth all the wait. At first i keep on wondering why i always have a failed relationship no matter how hard i wanted to work things out. And now i know the reason why...Because God wanted me to be with someone who would be faithful to me. Someone who would love me not for a span of time but for the rest of my life. So i know that whatever you wish for, God hears it. In time youll see why God never answer your prayer that soon. All you need is patient and faith. If you have faith in God then youll know He only wants the best for you.

I ask God for help but im not asking for a miracle..... im just asking for some guidance in what i do and what i should to.... sometimes i also ask for signs that im doing the right thing.....
