It's difficult to help someone without knowing what to help with

There could be many reasons why we don't see our prayers answered

We could be praying for something that is bad for us / against God's will
God may be telling us to wait (I hate it when that happens ....)
God could have a different plan on how to fix things than what we expect
He may have given us an answer but we failed to see it

Hi ,

Well lets look at this in a different way the answer you wish or wont or think you should have is not what you think you need ,

The Lord has a plan for each one and we need to see just out side of our selfs to know what it is , what you... need ...no doubt is more importaint and its not allways what we ...wont... when you follow in the foot steps that are left ahead of you and you follow in them you may be surprised just how well your feet fit the Lord does this so much its just sometimes we don't wont to follow so change your tactics and look at it form the Lords way , trust me it works ,

Okay so the Lord in your eyes is not answering hmmm , yes there is an answer your just not ready for it ,

I know this is the age of I wont it now if not before , as we,d say on the building sites we don't wont it today we need it yesterday .

...noeleena...

I don't know what you're praying for, so I cannot really answer very well, but I know that God works above and beyond what we can see. He can see the future and we can only see the present, so he knows what is best for us "further out" my motto in prayer is this:

God knows your heart, and when you pray he will answer. Sometimes the answer is "yes" sometimes the answer is "wait" and sometimes the answer is "no".

Of course we want to hear "yes" most of the time, but that isn't always what God knows to be good. Here's a lovely sermon that talks about God seemingly saying "no" to a man who desperately wanted something good; I cried the first...and second...and third time I heard this. It has kinda a long intro, so bear with it.

God hears and answers all prayers that are His will and desire to answer. You must have faith and be patient. He will certainly answer your prayers, sooner rather than later. Welcome to CC.

Sometimes the answer to a prayer is complicated. The Lord might have to teach you several things before he can give you the answer you are looking for.

Well my spirit is telling me something's going on, not to sure yet. There is some odd emotions coming from you, but that's not bad.

Well I get paid next week and I can give you money, but I'm in a worse off situation than you. So I can only give you something to cover your basic needs.

Now listen to what I said, if you're honest about survival, then sell what you don't honesty need so you can survive.

Have faith, I've done it and I've always made it through.

Thank you so much for your offer but I wouldn't take your offer. I try to sell my stuff but people won't buy. I don't have much to offer for sale at all.

Well you have to go to a pawn dealer, but their really shifty, but they'll almost take anything (Me and Jesus all ways have fun dumping energy on pawn dealers) But only sell stuff you don't really need. Then I'll still give you some money, ill send it via western union so you'll keep your identity private

Simple.

Well, I'm a bit late on this reply, but He does.
Perhaps not in the way you think is best but in the way He KNOWS is best.
