God will hear the prayers of His children and answer based on His will and their faith. If you aren't born again, the only prayer that God is waiting to hear is a prayer of repentance asking for forgiveness.

There is and are no "best" responses. When we stand before God in judgement...maybe you can ask HIM ...yourself. Please invite me to witness that moment....

I read a book not too many years ago about the life of George Mueller.  One thing that struck me was that he kept a record of his prayers.  He would record the prayer request, then leave a space for the answer.  He would pray continually until he received an answer to that prayer.\n\nFour years ago, I began keeping a journal just like he did, and as I learned that the kinds of prayers God answered the most (or the best) were those for or about others and their needs.  Yes, even many of my selfish ones were answered.  Even now, I can point to a record that shows clearly what prayers have been answered, and those that still have gone unanswered.  I have 7 unanswered prayers right now, four of which are from years prior to 2006.  God has been so faithful in answering prayer.  The ones unanswered are all recent prayers, beginning in the month of May, not including those prior to 2006.\n\nIt has been a wonderful blessing to see my history of prayer with God, and even when He has answered "no," He has made up for any disappointment I've had by doing something different/better.

You'd be better off asking for donations.  Prayer will get you absolutely nothing.

Maybe everyone's form of prayer is different. I was brought up catholic and was taught a specific way to pray but I've long abandoned that and simply have a one on one with the man upstairs when I'm in a position to fully appreciate the beauty of the creation before me, like when I'm walking in the park and the sun is setting or when the waters of a lake are so still it seems like someone laid a giant mirror on the ground. I also write on my computer and confide to God all the things I would a very close friend. Prayer doesn't have to be on your knees with your hands folded. It can be as simple as a thought. Possibly even an action. I think many people have forgotten to seek God within ourselves rather than extrovertly.

You need to understand that we do not pray to Mary and/or the Saints as a final act.  We pray to them to ask them to pray to God for us.\n\nLook at it this way. . . Have you ever been sick or ill and asked a friend to pray for you (or a loved one)?\n\nThat is basically what we, as Catholics, are doing when we pray to Mary or a Saint.  We are asking them, who are in Heaven and can see God directly, to join us in prayer for our intentions.\n\nIt has always been known that we are free to go directly to God with our prayers, but would prayers not be better served to have more people join in?\n\nI hope that I have answered your question.  If not, please post more and I will answer your questions to the best of my abilities.

Yes. I will whisper his name in my prayers. I am muslim and strong faith in the life hereinafter and the in the existance of God. I am sure my prayers will not go unanswered. God is a silent listerner of our prayers.

The prayer's so powerful. You just have to have faith when you pray. Our prayer's always heard by God. He never forgotten nor ignore us. Things just don't happen right away. God let things to happen according to His plans and not according to our own will. Sometimes, you'll be surprised cuz He'll give you better and bigger than what you've asked for.

Whenever I pray I just speak from my heart. He already knows how you feel so just talk to him. I usually thank him for everything he has done for me and ask him to forgive me of my sins. Of course there is more, but I think the best way to pray is to say how you truly feel. There is no need to be ashamed. Try it for yourself and see.

Dear God, I pray that the unbelievers and friends around each of us might be touched by your spirit and brought to repentance and that we will be able to yield ourself to fulfill your will and to be a guiding light for our friends and close ones. I also pray that our hearts may be burdened to pray for them and that you will give us an opportunity to share the good news with them to your glory. In Jesus name we pray! Amen!!
