    In today’s sermon I want to suggest some reasons why perfectly proper prayers may go unanswered.

    Scripture Some time ago I read a story about a young boy who was praying for a bicycle for Christmas. But his family was very poor, and when Christmas morning came there was no bicycle. A family friend, who was not very sensitive, said to the boy, “Well, I see that God did not answer your prayer ...read more

    I have prayed and prayed about this matter, but I don’t seem to get anywhere. Doesn’t God hear? If He is listening, why doesn’t He help? Why doesn’t He answer my prayers? Many people often find themselves in that situation.

    Young preacher asked for advice on how he did after the sermon was preached, one old man said “I have three things to say to you.” 1-You read the whole sermon….Boy replied, I guess I needed to more familiar with it. 2-You read it very badly….Boy replied, I couldn’t ...read more

    God invites us to ask Him, and we will receive (Mat 7:7). But why does He sometimes not answer our prayers? This sermon series explains several possibilities for why God does not grant our prayers.

    Three weeks ago, we studied how God invites us to ask Him. Therefore, do not hesitate to ask for something or express our wishes to God. The Lord Jesus said, "Ask, and it will be given to you." (Matthew 7:7). If so, why are there prayers that God does not answer? You may have ...read more

    God invites us to ask Him, and we will receive (Mat 7:7). But why does He sometimes not answer our prayers? This sermon series explains several possibilities for why God does not grant our prayers.

    We have learned that God invites us to ask Him what we need (Matthew 7:7) because, number one, God wants us to be close to Him; number two, God wants us to always depend on Him; and number three, God wants to show His love to us. When we ask something from Him, we must be ready to get His ...read more

    No matter how difficult our lives may be, God has not left us alone. Often, when things are difficult and God seems silent, it is our cue to come away from life’s distractions so that we can synchronize ourselves with God again.

    “When Prayers Go Unanswered” Habakkuk 1:2 NIV 2 How long, O Lord, must I call for help, but you do not listen? At times it may seem that God has hides His face from us, when we don’t receive an immediate answer to our prayers. We pray, we pour our hearts out to God, we ...read more

    Why is it that our prayers seem to go unnoticed by God? This is a short devotional.

    Since tonight is a time that we devote to lifting our praises and our prayer requests to God, let’s think about what we ask God for.
