GOD IS A PRAYER-ANSWERING GOD

But certainly God has heard me; He has attended to the voice of my prayer. (Psalm 66:19)


Does GOD Answer Prayers?

Absolutely!!! GOD Definitely Answers Prayers. I'm a Christian and will like to answer this question based on my faith in HIM through my Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ. The Bible says, whatever we ask the LORD, believing, we shall receive. Note one of the keywords there - it's believing. One of the problems many Christians pray or ask in their prayers to GOD and do not receive or get their prayers answered is primarily because of where they stood in their faith when they were praying to GOD. How can you be asking GOD for something and also be thinking, "OK, if GOD Does Not Answer My Prayers, I'll do this, and this, and this". You've pretty much provided an answer to your prayers or questions to GOD because you have basically told HIM, "Oh GOD, don't worry. Your answers to my prayers or questions do not matter because I have a backup plan anyways". Come on! And you expect GOD to answer when you are in that mindset?

Now, let me quote a scripture verse to you from James 1: 6-8. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the LORD; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all HIS ways. (NKJV). There you go... straight from the Word of GOD. You absolutely need to let GOD know that you absolutely depend on HIM and no one else. If you're asking GOD for something and are not open to receiving from HIM, then you're just wasting your time.

Another great question you must ask yourself before ever pondering whether or not GOD answers your prayers is this: Is What You Are Asking GOD According To His Will For Your Life? You absolutely need to be able to answer that. And How Do You Do That? How Do You Know You Are Asking The Will of GOD For Your Life? That is why you really need to study the Word of GOD and seek HIS Face; asking to know HIS Will for your life. The Bible confirms it in 1 John 5:14-15: Now this is the confidence that we have in HIM, that if we ask anything according to HIS Will, HE hears us. And if we know that HE hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of HIM. (NKJV)

As long as our prayers are in alignment with HIS Will for our lives, according to the Scriptures, we are guaranteed that HE will definitely hear our prayers, requests and questions. GOD Bless You Real Good!

P.S: In as much as my other articles are not solely devoted to or centered around what I've just shared with you, I absolutely hope and believe that this has been very impacting and insightful for you.

To Your Success,

One of my favorite scripture references is James 1:5-8. All of your points are very well taken. The double-minded man is not unified within himself, and remember the Lord instructed, "if ye are not one, ye are not mine". We must be one with ourself, and with Him, which is the second point you illustrated. We must learn to be less pridefull and more submissive to His will. If our prayer reflect the points you have illustrated, then they will be acceptable before the Lord. Thank you for your insights.

In The Doghouse, thank you for your very much thoughtful and insightful words. Being in line with the Will of GOD is just so ever paramount in our lives. The Bible confirms it with Heb 10:5-10 that it's not about the Sacrifice and the Offering that we bring to HIM. In these are not where HIS real desire is... but what HE really desires is our DOING HIS WILL. That is all that matters... being in line with the Will of the Almighty GOD.

You are absolutely right that say that "As long as our prayers are in alignment with HIS Will for our lives". A lot of people (myself included many times) treat God as a 'vending machine' and only go to Him when we have a need. Prayers must be in alignment with God and not just going to Him demanding our wants. Thanks for sharing this truth!

1 John 5:14-15 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

15And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
