Why hasn't God not answered 1 prayer on over 7 years?

[Anonymous]

Only answer if you believe in God. Ice prayed and worked towards my goals the last 7 years. I've only survived and had not 1 prayer answered.

I've prayed help lose weight. Joined a few gyms, hot yoga, cycle ans hike!! Eat healthy

Prayed for a Partner or even a good friend. Nothing, some casual friends who come and go. Dating is a joke.

Prayed for a good career. I have lived in 3 cities. I was laid off few months the back, got a job at a temp agency they contract ended despite it being temp to hire!

I'm angry, fed up a s don't know why Nothing has worked out.

I want to start off by saying that your feelings are valid, and you are not alone. I’ve experienced similar in my own walk with God. I want you to know that it’s okay to be angry, it’s okay to grieve the things that were and aren’t and might not be. There have been times where I’ve felt like God wasn’t listening to my prayers and that He was too busy blessing everyone else. I felt like God wasn’t paying attention and that He didn’t care about me and the things that were important to me.

But God was paying attention, and He still pays attention. I was the one who had to learn to say the words “Not my will, but Yours be done.” I needed to realize that God wanted to bless me beyond measure, but I had to be ready to receive those blessings. That meant thanking God for what I already had, and even thanking Him for the things He had to take away. And thanking Him for when He had to withhold something from me.
Don’t worry about what Non-believers have, because in the end they are missing the most important thing…something you have that they don’t—a relationship with God.

God works on His time schedule, not yours. He answers prayer, always, even if it is a no. Perhaps you are doing something that is impeding your prayers. For instance, Psalms 66.19 "If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear." If you are willfully sinning God will not hear you. He usually does not listen to prayers that entertain your pleasures. If you ask for a Lamborghini, He will most likely not give you what you ask. He also says that "All things work together for the good" So if it is something that is not good for you, then you will probably not get the "Yes" answer you wanted. But don't give up praying. God wants to give you things and wants you to ask Him for them. But, it has to be in accordance to His Will. The previous reasons I quoted are usually not according to His will.

[jshm2]

Because nowhere does it say "Pray, and it shall be done".

You pray, and build intention, within that intention is the prayer answered - if it is good for you.

You probably want a load of crap to harm your neighbors with. So it could be your evil intent keeping you back.

It does not work like that. God is a faith based entity. There is no real proof He exists. You have to have faith that He does.

[sean1234]

There's tons of proof, you just have to look for it and believe it's there.

[Daniela1982]

The Earth and Universe is not proof?

[exitseven]

@Daniela1982 I like to think that the creation of humans is too much of a longshot to have just come about by random chance but wht the hell do I know,

[Asker]

God does exist, it's something within that knows and I can't dent the truth of that ever. I can't explain..

[Daniela1982]

@exitseven If you look at the complexity of the human body - as well as other mammals - you would not believe it could even possibly be evolution. That is like if I ride my bike enough it will turn into the Starship Enterprise. Complex things need designers, including the human body. They don't happen by chance.

[sean1234]

Come about by random chance? But that's evolution, random cells forming into a human. Creation in on purpose to do a certain thing...

CREATION, n.
1. The act of creating; the act of causing to exist; and especially, the act of bringing this world into existence. Romans 1.
2. The act of making, by new combinations of matter, invested with new forms and properties, and of subjecting to different laws; the act of shaping and organizing; as the creation of man and other animals, of plants, minerals, &c.
3. The act of investing with a new character; as the creation of peers in England.
4. The act of producing.
5. The things created; creatures; the world; the universe.
As subjects then the whole creation came.
6. Any part of the things created.
Before the low creation swarmed with men.
7. Any thing produced or caused to exist.
A false creation, proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain.

Thanks for the MHO😎

From the Islamic perspective, Dua that is supplication works in three ways, We believe this life is a test for the hereafter, so our creator is testing us, if the test is hard, reward will be more. Now Allah may accept your Dua and give you whatever you are asking for or he might weived any harm from your life or he will reward you in the day of judgment. So our Dua doesn't get wasted anyway. However there are certain ways, rules or conditions to get better results to your Duas.

One more thing We believe in Qadr Allah as well.

[Lionman95]

Because praying isn´t about commanding God to make him give you what you wish but instead it´s spending with God and letting him give you his perspective.

[collie22]

It could be many things. For me when things go wrong I've been told to do a self exam. That's one thing another is Gods will. That's what he wants for you may not be what your praying for. I myself use my prayers to ask my father to look over someone I know of that needs his help and I mostly ask for forgiveness for my mess ups and I also thank him my blessings. Collie

[dreamstar72]

I’m questioned the same question as you and I figured. There is no answer to why, fair NO, right NO, but it’s God rule by free will. by the way free will is questionable

[Daniela1982]

God gave you free will because He didn't want puppets. We already have Biden so we don't need more.

[strateguy632]

because he only does miracles against nature for certain purposes, not to help people lose weight, that needs to be natural loss. he won't shoot cupid arrow at anyone for you either.

[DaBiggestBird]

Either it’s not what you need or you still just need to be patient. He always knows what’s best, just got to have a little faith in your life.

[LiamJHayden]

He has. We have to remember that sometimes the answer is, "Not yet." and other times the answer is "No."

[genericname85]

god doesn't evidently exist. if you hope to get answers, the only way to get them is to delude yourself so hard that you feel like talking to yourself is talking to god.

[abc3643]

You are apparently a New York Jets fan.

[FunkyMonkee]

Because there's no such thing as god.

[sean1234]

Yoga is of Satan, there's one clue

[sean1234]

Dating is a joke? Are any of them worth dating to God? This world is more fallen than you think.

[sean1234]

Lived in 3 cities? Cities are full of sin.

[sean1234]

And yet those who are Non-believers have beauty, wealth, husband, kids, vacations... makes no F$%%ing sense?

This should answer that...

Matthew 19:20-24 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

If you have everything, then you need nothing from God. Wealth and treasures are your God.

[sean1234]

I myself am 41 and still single, never found a woman to date, TO marry. Dating websites all a flop as if they were all fake. Never had a good job, but that's another story.

[Daniela1982]

That is because you stopped counting at 4.

[sean1234]

I don't follow.

[Anonymous]

Because it isn't real.
