Why God doesn’t seem to hear my prayers?

Posted by Yesha - 30/10/11 at 01:10:27 pm

Hello sweeties~

If you were not able to hear mass today, I would like to share this to y’all

Have you experienced praying for something and then it seems like God is just silent?

I hear this question from time to time or even I ask this question to myself. “Why God doesn’t hear my prayers?” This question is usually asked during some time of personal crisis that a person has been struggling with for a period of time. Sometime we feel that God do not hear us. Have you ever felt like when you pray your words get stuck somewhere between your mouth and God’s heart? Do you ever get the sense that your prayer simply doesn’t work.

They say sometimes God answers ‘yes.’ Sometimes He says ‘No’ and sometimes He says ‘not yet.’” Actually, sometimes God says No to our prayer too. Bible actually gives at least eight specific reasons why our prayer doesn’t seem to hear by God.

1. Sin (Isa 59:1-2)

2.Disregarding God’s law (Pro 28:9)

3.Lack of compassion for those in need [Pro 21:13]

4.Pride (Jas 4:6)

5.Disobedience [Deu 1:45]

6. Wrong motives [Jas 4:1-3]

7. Doubt (Jas 1:5-6)

8. Broken relationships [Mat 5:23-26]

I also learned that our prayer sometimes is not right and not praying at all.

- Maybe what we are doing is not

- We may not be praying at the right time.

- It may be the wrong person is praying.

First, maybe we are not praying at all.

For example, you want a car with good sound system while what you really need is to change your old set of wheels.

Can you imagine what our world would look like if anybody asked for prayer and was immediately granted! You talk about chaos!

I still remember the movie of Jim Carry which is God Almighty, God gave him powers to grant all the prayers that he just approved right away because he think that God’s process of approving is way too slow. The world is in chaos! Everyone win in lottery, People want instant stuff. That’s why nowadays everything is instant. Instant coffee, instant noodles, instant millionaire and so on. Look at the people who wait in long lines at local TV shows just to get instant prizes. . You will observe that most of the winners are claiming that they are praying to get this and win.

The real God’s purpose in prayer is for us to get to know who he is and his holiness rather than to ask God to do our request. That does not mean that he will not hear and answer our prayer, but his purpose in not to make us happy, but to make himself know to us which is true joy and happiness.

Jesus, when asked by his disciples how to pray offer the model of prayer, we know it as the Lord’s Prayer in Luke 11:2-4.

(Luke 11:2-4 NIV) He said to them, “When you pray, say:

“Our Father in heaven, hallowed is your name, your kingdom come. May your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us each day our daily bread. Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one.”

Now the prayer begins with the relationship, our father. Do you know God as your father when you pray? Are you looking towards God, or are you looking at your problems when you pray? Is he really your father?

If your children will come to you and say, “Daddy/Mommy, you’re really special and I love you,” they will hug you and give you a kiss; they could ask for the moon, and if it was yours, you would give it.

Establishing the relationship first is the beginning of prayer!

Are your really praying? Or are you just giving orders to God? Brothers and sisters, it makes a difference!

If we return to the prayer model Jesus gave us, we find next we have to be willing to put our father’s will first in our life, just like those in heaven. Are we willing to keep our part of the relationship and let him be our Lord and determine what we need and not what we want?

I hear it all the time from people, “Pastor, please pray for my such and such situation and I promise to come to church regular.” Well, you know what happens most of the time? When by God’s grace and mercy their prayer is answered, they disappear until the next crisis! Sooner or later that type of “hit and run” prayer life will come to an end and they will cry.

“Why doesn’t God seem to answer my prayers?”

My answer is because maybe you’re not really praying like Jesus says to pray.

The second problem may be that you are praying at the wrong time.

“Give us each day”–Prayer is a day by day thing. Its focus is on today. Our prayer needs are experienced in each today, and they will be met in a today. God cannot bring satisfaction to prayer in the past because it is gone forever, and he cannot answer a prayer for the future, because we are not there yet! And when we do get there it is today!

Example: Our prayer about the graduation of our son though our son is still on its first year level

NIV, “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”

Still another part of praying at the wrong time is that because prayer is daily for the today, it means that prayer never ends until it has been satisfied.

It must be prayed over and over in each today. Praying last week to your most special Father in heaven is not a prayer! It was a prayer! Today’s prayer is a prayer.

Keep praying every day! Resting on a past prayer is the wrong time for prayer.

Pray continuously. Pray today!

Are you praying at the right time?

–Today, every day!
