God gives only 3 kind of answers to our every prayers.He's answer could be YES, a big NO.or simply just WAIT.so if we have a waiting prayer to be answered lets not ask when is He going to respond.instead let us be more excited on HOW He will answer our prayer.it could be in dramatic way.at surprising time and unexpectedly moment of our life.

God never turns His back to everybody who desperately needed help and assistance, this is what I believe to because I am one of those people out there who always heard God answering my prayers in every way. God answers prayer in the most possible time, sometimes there are delays but He never forget that's a fact. If there are prayers that left unanswered don't lose hope, maybe God carefully designing His plan what's best for us, but He never turns His back, promise! I always believe in the power of prayers, it is really possible and always true and accurate. If God doesn't grant prayers maybe He thinks that's not best for us and brings no good for us.

Every prayer has been heard already even before we utter them. We need to believe in every outcome of it. Answers of our prayers depends on how we define our answers.

God answer all prayer in a matter of second, days and even for years. If god could not gives what you pray for. His reasons are many as he is still thinking if you are deserving, you are being tested with your patience to wait..Then he think if he grant your request where would you uses it. If he read from his mind, that you ging to use it in your own hidden agenda. It is likely to fail. God support those who are a truly believers and obedient to His teachings..

It depends on our belief and the hard work we have put in for something for which we are praying to God for. After all God helps only those who help themselves.

I think that God answer prayers depending on several factors. 1.) the nature of the prayer - if it's something very urgent and for a good cause, He will see to it. if it's something trivial, you can fix it yourself. 2.) The faith of the person praying - if you have very little faith, God won't answer you right away. 3.) His own time - God works in mysterious ways in His own time. He might answer your prayers today. tomorrow, the next day, or the next day. He works miracles.

Let me just say, you'll never get what you want, how you want it and when you want it! But you'll always get what you need, in the form needed, and it'll always be right on time! Also, most times you may not even realize it's done, you'll just notice that everything is alright!! Taripre$

God answers prayers at different times. But be sure He always answers prayers. He is always listening. So be patient and keep trusting in Him! God Bless. :D
