Good day to you fellow mylotter,
Well, this is my first time to raise up a question under this discussion interest.
I am really fed up thinking about things. As my mind struggling too much thinking what to do and what should I not. And with that, I do always raise every bits of issue of my life in prayers. But, as time goes by, answers and responses to my prayers dont come. And now, I feel too much boredom with what is going on to my life.
Thus, I am just lifting everything to God. To Him I just put my trust. Hoping that I can get the answers quickly or as they say, just in time.

We understand how you feel when your prayers are not quickly answered as you think they are.
However, have faith in God and have confidence in your prayers, because God said "in a favorable time I'll listen to you and in a favorable time I'll answer you". Remember father Ambraham, he felt exactly the same when he asked God for a son and as God's promised to have it, but he was almost a 100 yrs old and felt that his prayer was not answered, but God give him a son in his own time. So keep on praying until heaven is moved....and God's favor will be upon you....God bless you...

Hi airasheila,
I know that sometime we think that God has forgotten about us or that we are not worthy of an answer; but we have to be steadfast and patient, believing and trusting that God knows what's best for us. I know how you feel I'm going through it also, but I refuse to let satan tell me I'm not worthy for answers because I know God loves me and will supply ALL of my needs according to His riches and Glory!!
Remember also that our timing is not Gods timing. and our thoughts are not like His thoughts. I pray that you will endure and be blessed always.

I think God ALWAYS answers our prayers...it's just sometimes He doesn't answer them in the way we expect!!! Just because you think you know exactly what you want, it doesn't mean you're right. God knows what we need & He gives it to us at the time we actually need it!!! Rather than hoping He'll answer quickly, I suggest you find the patience to receive His answer when offered & be thankful for His gift!!! You may find your life will become better than you could have ever imagined!!!

Hi airaseila,
Good day friend. I put the trust on God and start anything from morning to night. Sometime I need things desperately and will request God.He know what is good and what is bad to me, than anyone. if he grants me I will be happy. If he don't ," I think my request is not good for me, so he didn't give me". Later I will come to know what bad I have escaped(If my request was not granted by God). I don't know what others think about this, but I believe-" God is their, he watches everything and gives you best."

As they said God answers prayer always on time, maybe it's not yet time to grant your prayers, everything happens for a reason right? that's what they always said, so maybe you're not getting yet what you prayed for because it's not the right time yet and maybe for some reasons. but I do hope that whatever your prayer is, may God heard that:)

I always believe that if I already pray, then anything happen in my life is the best that God has pick for me.
I always believe that God knows the best for me, not all of my request to God is the best thing for me, so God choose another thing that suits me well.
With that way, I can being more happy and being more optimistic with life. After all I can not think bad about God, and just praise Him as well :)

Sometimes we desire think on God as a fairy god mother who is there to give wishes and guide us in the direction to an optimistic life. We don't want to think about the delicate limited areas of God because we want to believe that we know God. But this question of unanswered prayer asks us to do just that.Egoistic prayers do not get answered. Again it just doesn't make sense to have prayer, a medium by which we come to know God and purify our lives, as a drive to get what we desire.

take up some exhausting physical activity if you are thinking too much. Then focus on what you are doing. Try to do it well. Your thoughts need to be focussed on what can be done at present instead of dwelling in past of future. God helps those who help themselves.
