Why doesn’t God answer prayer?

1) Sin:

If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened;

2) Not God’s Timing - God can answer Yes, No or Wait

3) God has something more to teach us - Often God has a different lesson for us to learn from unanswered prayer. . . or He may be wanting to teach us to persist in prayer. . . or He may want to reveal Himself to us in a new way.

4) Lack of faith -

If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer."

5) God may have a better answer for you than what you asked for:

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen

6) Requests not God’s will

This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us--whatever we ask--we know that we have what we asked of him

The primary way to know God’s will is through God’s Word!

I want to live indefinitely!! Do you want the same??

Life and death are inevitable. Though we have conquered the sun, moon and stars still we have little control over living process. We all will die one day for sure and we know this. But why are we don’t we want to live and love the life??

We all have the feeling to die as we get old, i ask you why? Why do as we get old we want to die? Partly because we want to reach god? Or because we feel its better to die than live suffering in our old age? Or we don’t like the people around us or we don’t love ourselves?

We surely love people around us, our family, friends and relatives that’s why we do sacrifices for our children, help our friends and care for our parents and want them to be with us for all our life.But still we bow down to the fact that you will get old and would love to happily rest in the coffin.

But what if you don’t age and remain 20 years old for around 200 years!! Won’t you love to live with all the health and zeal all your life? What if the sciences and technology empowers you to do so? I would love to live as long as i can unless earth is hit by an asteroid :p
