3 Possible Reasons Why God Didn't Answer Our Prayers

Hello guys! I'm a new user and this is my first article. So, I hope you support me. Let's start.

Have you ever experienced a time when no matter how hard you tried to pray, God did not seem to hear it? No matter how much you cry, your prayer seems to be on top of your head?

I know most Christians have already had many of their prayers answered by God and this deepens their faith. But what about other people who do not answer their prayers?

Before we continue, I just want to say that this article is not for everyone, discretion is still needed.

• OUR SIN

It is written in Isaiah 59:2- Your evil deeds are the cause of your separation from God. You have sinned so you cannot see him and he cannot hear you.-

Before we pray do we think about the sins we have committed? No one has not sinned because even the people God chose in ancient times as his people also sinned like KING David, King Solomon and Samson and other chosen ones of God. But this will not be the basis for us to tell myself that we can also sin. An example of serious sin against God is idolatry.

We have already learned that the worship of other Gods is abomination to God. So if a person worships at the same time another God and prays to the true God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob will also not be able to answer his prayer lest instead of the blessing he received will be a curse and ruin he will achieve.

If you have understood the word of God and have been studying the Bible for a long time or have been sharing it, then you probably know the punishment is heavier if you still sin against the things you know are wrong.

It is written in Isaiah 1:15- When you pray to me, I will not listen to you, even when you pray, I will not listen to you because you have killed many people.

This was God's response to the Israelites for their sins such as idolatry. If this happens to them it just means that it will happen to us as we continue to commit sin.

• OUR SELF-RELIANCE

It is written in James 4:2-3- You have what you do not want but you do not have, so you kill, you only have it. There are things you want to want but you can't claim, so you get angry and fight. You do not get what you want because you do not ask God and even if you ask you do not receive anything because your goal is not right. You are asking to be granted your pleasure.

If you feel that you have the characteristics set forth in this text you will know that this is the reason why until now you have not achieved your prayers. There are people who pray as they ask for things from God that they think of God and in prayer is Wishing Well.

Prayer is not like that because it is sacred. What we talk about every time we pray is God. God who created the heavens and the earth and he sees everything down to the depths of our heart so He knows what we are asking for is caused by our selfishness.

It is written in Proverbs 15: 3- The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.

We have nothing to hide from God because he created us. He knows our weaknesses and he also knows our antics that play in our minds so we should examine ourselves because this may be the reason why God does not answer our grievances.

There are also things that God does not want or are written in his commandments that we must obey.

For example, you want to defeat someone you are fighting against and this is what you are praying for or you are praying for someone who has a curse because it has done something bad to you. Do you think God will answer it? Isn't our God good so we can not ask him to harm our neighbor.

• THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT TIME

It is written in ECCLESIASTES 8:6- There is a time and a way for everything, but we do not know it completely.

It is even written in ECCLESIASTES 3: 1- Everyone in this world has his time, he has his time.

There are things in our people that we do not understand but they are as clear to God as possible in the future as a result of what we do now. We do not know these future events but God knows them.

For example, you are praying for your business to succeed. It may be that now that your request has been answered, you may be proud of it in the future and it will even cause you to fall.

These are just some of the possible reasons why God does not answer our prayers. I know there are many more explanations as to why we feel our prayers are not being answered.
