Why has God not answered my prayers?

– As long as your prayers are for selfish motives, driven by pride hidden in your heart, God will not answer them. – If you knowingly condone sin, whether it’s happening to you or to someone else, and you don’t correct them, you ‘regard iniquity in your heart’ and thus should forget about God answering your prayers.

Why do I feel like God is not listening to me?

Most likely, if I feel like God is not listening it’s because I am not devouring His word everyday. This is how God is going to “speak” to me (to us). So if we feel He is not listening because He is not answering, it might be because we are not listening to His word.

What does the Bible say about struggling?

Joshua 1:9 Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. Deuteronomy 31:6,8 Be strong and bold; have no fear or dread of them, because it is the Lord your God who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not fail you or forsake you.

What does it mean when God is silent?

When you hear God’s silence and feel his absence, trust his presence. But the story behind the story of Christmas is that you can trust God because he literally moved heaven and earth to bring the message of his grace and his forgiveness and his presence to you. God is with us and God is active even when God is silent.

What to do when you feel like your prayers are not being answered?

So call up a friend that will remind you of truth. Practice praising him out loud – there is power in PRAISE! Write his truths on sticky notes and put them everywhere. Whatever you do, stay near to Him and your heart will be prepared for what He has for you when the answer to your prayers come.

Why have you given up on God?

I’ve given up on God because He doesn’t seem to care about me. I know you say God cares about us but I haven’t seen any evidence of it in my life. I’ve given up on God because He doesn’t seem to care about me. I can’t even begin to list all the problems I have—money, health, job, family tensions, you name it.

Does God work it in us to do good?

It is God who works it in us to do good. Jesus said there is no one who is good but God. It’s not you who do it but He who is in you is the one who does it. The Law of God is good but it only serves to show you where you have failed. The Laws purpose is to point you to Jesus to be saved.

Does God respond when we don’t?

He may not respond in the way we wish, but He responds nonetheless. Understandably, when amid the throes of pain, suffering, and grief, it is difficult to see the wider perspective of God’s plan, especially when we receive an answer of “no” or “not now.” But we can trust in God’s sovereignty because we know He is good ( Psalm 48:1; 95:3, 6 ).

Can God Help Me Show Me my Sin?

Bible verses tell us all have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God. There is no one that is righteous. God help me if I think I am holier then thou. To pray, “God help me show me my sin,” is a prayer He will surely answer. But God does not condemn us. God will lift us up and teach us how to walk in His ways.
