1. Hinderances To Prayer-I
Contributed on May 18, 2026
We have heard numerous sermons on Prayer. We also learnt how prayer alone bridges the gap between God and us. In fact as people of God we should never give up on praying.
As people of God prayer is the only tool we use to develop our communication with God. Prayer is a vital element that connects us with the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. We also get discouraged and disheartened when we do not see answers to our prayers. In the process many people give up and ...read more

In the previous part we looked at Psalms 66:18 wherein we learnt that sin hinders our answers to Prayer. It is important to check our lives each day to see if there is anything that could hinder our Prayers. God is loving and compassionate. He wants us to be blessed.
It is the will of God that we must be blessed. In fact He wants us that we pray so that He could hear us. We must also understand that there are factors which hinder our growth or that which stops our blessing. In the previous part we learnt that if we regard sin or iniquity or transgression in our ...read more

I am sure even as we learn about the hindrances that we face in our prayer lives; God is going to strengthen us in order to see a lot of improvement in our relationship with God. The chasm is not because of God but because of our own selves. A great breakthrough awaits us in our personal lives.
One important factor for unanswered prayers is that we do not ask. Mathew 7:7 says, "ask you shall receive, seek you shall find and knock and it shall be opened unto you. We do not receive because we do not ask in prayer. Prayer is seeking from God. It is something that we need and only God ...read more

There are little areas which need to be taken due care in our prayer life in order to ensure that our prayers are being answered. They might be small in nature but it is important to deal with. This series is all about why our prayers are not answered.
The Bible says in Mark 11:24 that when we pray we should not doubt. If we are uncertain in prayer; that could turn out to be a great hindrance or I rather call it no answer to prayer. Faith plays a very important role in our Christian life. The Bible also say that without faith it is impossible to ...read more

John 9:31 speaks about why our prayers are not being answered. The topic seems to be more interesting even as we unearth lots of things from the Word of God. Let us look into what the scripture says.
We see in John 9:31 that God does not hear sinners and if you are a Worshipper and do the will of God, He hears us. We already learnt in Psalms 66:18 that if there is any sin in our heart God will not hear us. Sin becomes a hindrance for God to answer to our prayers. We need to give a careful ...read more

John 1:1 says that the Word existed since the inception of the word. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." The existence and the power of the Word is evident even before the creation of the world.
We have been learning about hinderances to our Prayer life. Each Scripture or each part of the series explains us how important it is to follow every detail of the Word of God especially to receive answers to our prayers.

Let us continue to look at the hinderances to our Prayer life. We have been looking at into every detail to ensure that we do not miss out on the essence of Prayer. We work on ourselves to ensure so that we do not get discouraged or disheartened in our prayer lives.
Psalms 145:19 is one of the key Scriptures to our prayer lives. These points are only to rectify our own selves and not to condemn somebody nor point out at anyone's faults. What does the Scripture say? He fulfills the desire of those who fear Him. He hears their cry. We have heard enough ...read more
