Should I continue to put my faith in God even though He doesn't seem to be answering my prayers?

First of all your plan may not be God's plan, so therefore, your prayers are not answered. You have to put your faith in God because he has the best plan for you. He may even have something better than what you are praying for. And then again, maybe it is not the right time to answer your prayer. Instead of asking God for something ask for his will for your life. Try it!

I also think that God might have thought may it is not right time to answer your prayer or may be something you asked might not be right for you. I think when we check out our past lives and most times we might find out that things that happened throughout our lives are for the good of us.

I remember i read somewhere that if you want your prayers to be answered fast, first pray with all your heart for your enemies.

I also think that we should forgive others as God will forgive our sins and also pray for people who like us and people who hate us. This will give us inner peace and a calm mind. I think when we pray for our enemies most probably our prayers will be answered.

God has better plans for us in our lives than we have. I think most probably God will answer prayers that will be best for us. God loves us like His own children. When we have our children, we most times do the best for our children and most times does not do things that our children request us that might not be good for them.

Hi Friend, You should pray daily. You shoul obey for God Words. Then god will answer for your prayer. If you have not received any answer means there is mistake in you. First you should say "God please forgive me for my sins". Then God will give you a new life.God will give the bleesings in the suitable times as his wish.
