I believe each and everyone of us, has something we desired for from God. It might be financial aspect, a job, a friend or a loveone who is sick, and so many things. So friend tell me, what are your prayer concerns lately? blink

Perhaps that was a long time prayer and you have never seen an answer yet, do you keep a grip of hope in your heart that God would still answer your hearts desire? sad

Do you believe that God answers prayers ? happy

I definitely believe that God answers our prayers. We should pray true heartedly with no evil intentions on our mind and God will surely hear our prayers.Whenever I am down,happy,in my troubled times,I had always turn to Him and seek his guidance and blessings.Sometimes,it may take time for God to answer your prayer but we should not stop believing in Him and always keep the faith.Happy myLotting!

My concerns are not about myself. God has been very good to me. But I cry to the Lord for my loved one. My number one concern is for my mother be totally healed and be restored to her normal healthy stage. And I am always trusting that God answer prayers. God never failed me, not even once. People sometimes tire up for they thought God did not answer them. But, we just have to be more sensitive how He answers. It is not always Yes, it could be NO or sometimes wait. So we have to be patient:


Psalm 40:1-2

I waited patiently for the LORD; And He inclined to me and heard my cry. He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay, And He set my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm.

This is one of my favorite verses too ! It is a good reminder that waiting at God's own time I hope we eventually be thanking Him for the things He gave us, and never give up on our requests for our loved ones, I would be praying for your mother too salonga, thanks for posting that, glad to know this concern. happy

Yes God answer but we do not read that or act on that. God is almighty and listen to each and every person send by him to the earth to discharges the given duties in life. These are we who do not perform rather pray and hope that the god will perform. God answer in the manner that you are going on and accomplish. If you have accomplished in a matter and your desire fulfilled it is the god doing it.

Yes, I do believe God answers prayers. I have a lot of prayers that got answered by God. I've been praying a laptop from God for months and I got one as a graduation gift.

The thing is, God doesn't answer everything we are asking of Him because sometimes what we are asking is not what God has in mind. We just have to remember that God has only the best things for us. ^^

Praying for a laptop? And you think god answered that? Hmm, I think the more likely answer is that someone close to you knew you have been wanting one and bought it for you.

Good for you divine ! God's goodness has extended to us even it is a "want", well, you be thankful to God for giving you wonderful people who have a generous heart !

I always pray for my family to stay safe and healthy, pray for my friends in need and then I thank Him for all the blessings I have. I haven't asked for anything in ages. He's given me health, shelter, food and clothing and the love of my children, parents and siblings. What more could I want?happy

The best way to deal with this thing about getting from God is to give everything to Him and He will give you what you need.
If you try to get what you want you're likely to get stumped because God has a different perspective than you.
He's not there to serve man, man is here to serve Him.
So - give all and get all, kind of way, is the best.


myLot reputation of 77/100. Arkie69 (1170)  4 years ago

I agree with you 100%. I have made the statement on here that God operates on the barter system. If we are willing to give to Him then He will give to us. God always asks something in return. If it's nothing more than your attention be willing to give something to God before you ever ask Him for anything. God's main goal for us is for him to be able to teach and guide us to become His people that can function on this earth in a way that will please Him. God always has our best interest in mind no matter what it is. The main thing I ask God for is His help to improve my personal relationship with Him. Through that personal relationship everything we need is possible.

well, i never pray to god since years ago, i don't remember when it was. before i used to pray as i had been told. i prayed when i needed somethings, wanted to thank god, admitted my sins and praised him. but i found that during praying, my mind didn't focus on god himself. instead, it focused on the objects i wanted him to grant, the objects i prayed for. it's really bewildering and disappointing, as i know that our highest desired spiritual state is when we can always think of god, remember of god and dominate our mind with the idea of god (not with the objects i want him to grant).

moreover, god knows everything, he knows everything about us, even a single thought that emerges in our mind. he know once it emerges, even he knows before it emerges. so, what is the point to tell god what he already knows exactly (he even knows much better about us than ourselves do). isn't it the best way to make him irritated? if your father already know what you want and you keep telling him what it is, won't your father get irritated and upset?

so, i stopped praying. but i always try my best to dominate my mind with the idea of god, to remember him, to always think of him. and so far, i think i don't have something that i (and the people i know) need but god haven't given me (and them) that.

well, that's just my experience happy


myLot reputation of 97/100. torchablazed (1561)   ranked 8 out of 1,856 in christian  4 years ago

I'm sorry if we have a different view on asking and re-asking, I don't think God would be irritated if we keep asking Him what we want though, God in his infinite wisdom knows everything, still He longs for the fellowship and constant "union" with "his child" on knowing and hearing his needs, in this way, we be able to see How wonderful He does in our lives. happy


myLot reputation of 92/100. sutanhartanto (2554)   ranked 1,795 out of 1,856 in christian  4 years ago

no problem happy i am with you in saying that he longs for the fellowship and constant union with us. i just don't think that pray for asking something is the best way to keep the fellowship and relationship. supposed you have a beloved one or a relative who lives in a distant place. and the only time he/she contact you is when he/she need something from you and ask you to grant it. won't you will feel taken advantage of? won't you prefer he/she keeping in touch with you, regardless his situation and needs?

so, i think the best way to keep the fellowship, to make god happy is always keeping in touch with him, by (well, i already mentioned) always thinking of god and dominating our mind with the idea about him. again, just in my opinion.
