Why do some “believers” often not get answers to their prayers?\n\nBelief alone is not sufficient to please God and have him answer our prayers. Even a credulous person may claim that he believes. For belief to have substance, it must be based on accurate knowledge, which can be gained only by a study of the Bible. Additionally, belief and faith must be proved by the works they produce. “As the body without spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.”—James 2:26.\n\nA true believer would need to take God into account daily, not resorting to prayer only when faced with an emergency. He would also do acts of faith, right works that include speaking to others about his belief and faith in God.\n\nIn Harmony with God’s Will\n\nThe apostle John told us: “This is the confidence that we have toward [God], that, no matter what it is that we ask according to his will, he hears us.” (1 John 5:14) Here is another requirement for having our prayers heard by God. Our prayers should be in harmony with God’s will. Furthermore, once we pray we should be sure to act in harmony with our prayers.\n\n27 What are proper subjects for prayer? Anything that will affect one’s relationship to God; anything that will affect one spiritually. The apostle John wrote: “No matter what it is that we ask according to his will, he hears us.”—1 John 5:14.\n\n28 “According to his will” would mean that we rightly would not pray for things that promote strictly selfish interests, such as riches, position above our fellowman, revenge, selfish pleasures and like things. But we may, for example, petition God with regard to marriage—for his help in providing a suitable mate. Married couples may pray regarding the bearing of children, or for wisdom in rearing their children.\n\nThe answer from God can be expected in the form of wise guidance in the person’s own individual case. (Psalm 32:8) Of course, he should be consistent and act in harmony with his prayer. He should seek for counsel on the problem from the Bible. He may consult others who can help him to see what the Bible says on the matter. He should persist in praying on the matter until he gets a clear understanding of what is the wise course to take. (Luke 18:2-5)

God will hear whatever you pray. If you think you need to quote bible verses in your prayers on certain subjects, just turn to the back of the Bible where they usually point out where to find phrases for different category of problems for you to refer. From there you select them for your prayers. I am sure you do attend church, go and approach an elder of the church and I am sure they would open their arms to help you. Always bear in mind GOD said in the bible 'Seek and you shall receive'. May GOD bless you and answer your prayers....

Have you tried reading it from the MESSAGE translation?\n\nPhilippians 4:4-9  \n4Celebrate God all day, every day. I mean, revel in him! 5Make it as clear as you can to all you meet that you're on their side, working with them and not against them. Help them see that the Master is about to arrive. He could show up any minute!\n\n    6Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. 7Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.\n\n    8Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious--the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. 9Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.

beekay had a couple of good ones, but the most important part of prayer is us conforming our will to God's will.  A good passage for this is James 4:13-17, especially 15, which reads;\n"Instead you ought to say, if the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that."\n\nWhen we seek His will, He fulfills the desires of our hearts, and that is mostly because they become the same as the desires of His heart.  God be with you on your search!

Pray! Prayer is very powerful. It may help to read "Power of a Praying Woman" by Stormie Omartian. It helped me big time.\nThe Lord can do the impossible. \n\nJames 4:8\nDraw near to God and He will draw near to you.\n\nPhil 4:6-7\n\n6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. (NLT)\n\nGod Bless!

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.

I saw this prayer as the best answer in one of the questions here.. This may not be suited as a basketball prayer but it would be best to pray anyway.. Prayer can move mountains so if you need to win, pray w/ all your heart.. \n\n"O Lord, You have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know when I sit or stand. When far away You know my every thought. You chart the path ahead of me and tell me when to stop and rest. Every moment, You know where I am. You know what I am going to say before I even say it. You both precede and follow me and place Your Hand of blessing on my head.\n\nThis is too glorious, too wonderful to believe! I can NEVER be lost to Your Spirit! I can NEVER get away from my God! If I go up to heaven, You are there; if I go down to the place of the dead, You are there. If I ride the morning winds to the farthest oceans, even there Your Hand will guide me, Your strength will support me. If I try to hide in the darkness, the night becomes light around me. For even darkness cannot hide from God; to You the night shines as bright as day. Darkness and light are both alike to You.\n\n \nYou made all the delicate, inner parts of my body, and knit them together in my mother's womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! It is amazing to think about. Your workmanship is marvelous- and how well I know it. You were there while I was being formed in utter seclusion! You saw me before I was born and scheduled me each day of my life before I began to breathe. Everyday was recorded in Your Book! \n\n \nHow precious it is, Lord, to realize that You are thinking about me constantly! I can't even count how many times a day Your thoughts turns towards me. And when I wake-up in the morning, you are still thinking of me! \n\nSearch me, O God, and know my heart; test my thoughts. Point out anything You find in me that makes You sad, and lead me along the path of everlasting life. \n \nPsalms 139:1-18; 23-24 The Living Bible

First of all, praying for healing is not going against God's will.  People asked Jesus to heal them, and He did.\n\nGod heals some...and for reasons we don't understand, there are those who pray for healing and are not healed.\n\nSince prayer is encouraged in the bible, and we are taught to "pray without ceasing"....it is IN His will that we pray to Him.  The results of our prayers are up to God...this is how we learn, when things "go our way", or when they "don't go our way"....we need to praise Him, no matter what the outcome.  Because He is perfect, holy, righteous, merciful, forgiving, just.\n\nJob was our perfect example.  The Lord giveth, the Lord taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord.  When our prayers are answered (in the way we want) or when they are not answered in the way we want.....He is worthy of our praise.

If you do not know Christ as Saviour He will not hear your prayers, also the Bible tells us that if you have sin in your heart He will not hear your prayers. When it comes to praying we are told that we must pray according to His will. Is what you are asking in accordance to His will or yours? If interested I put together a very good outline on how to pray and why God answers us the way he does. It lists many Bible verses to direct you. If you would like a copy you may e-mail me and ask for it, I will send it at no charge and I do not pester people with literature or e-mails so don't be afraid of contacting me.

I would be happy to pray for you consistenly!!!  I can tell you this there is nothing that the Lord will give you that you can not handle..sometimes He gives us things so that we can grow, and learn more about Him!  The Bible says...cast your burdens on to me... He will carry you when you are weak if you lay your problems at His feet and seek His Face.  The Word also says that the Lord is your strength and your refuge!!!  Seek Him with all your heart and He will embrace you and help you through this tough time you are going thru.  I pray Gods blessings upon your life and that He would surround you in His Amazing Love and carry you through this time that you are weak.  I pray that He would touch you from the top of your head to the bottoms of your feet and that He would send a legion of Angels to surround you in a hedge of protection.  Remember that what the Enemy meant for Bad the Lord will turn it to Good for His Kingdom!!!
