Does God Really Answer Prayer?

Yes! Every single sincere from the heart prayer, God does indeed answer.

We might not momentarily understand the answer.

We might think it was not answered in the way we wanted.

It was definitely answered according to His will in a manner that will glorify Him. 

He has a purpose for you also with whatever manner of circumstance He places you in.

The only way to know Him is through your intimate time in His holy word and fervent prayer for Him to reveal Himself. 

Our Power:

2 Corinthians 4:

7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.

8 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair;

9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;

10 always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. 

Our Hope:

2 Corinthians 4:

16 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.

17 For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison,

18 as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. 

Our Prayer:

And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith." - Matthew 21:22

6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.

7 For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;

8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. - James 1:6-8 

You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions. - James 4:3

1 Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save, or his ear dull, that it cannot hear; 

2 but your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you so that he does not hear.  - Isaiah 59:1-2

Whoever closes his ear to the cry of the poor will himself call out and not be answered.  - Proverbs 21:13

If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. - John 15:7

God Alone:

8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. 

9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.  - Isaiah 55:8-9

What God Will Do:

11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; 

12 as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us. 

13 As a father shows compassion to his children, so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him. 

14 For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust. 

15 As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower of the field; 

16 for the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place knows it no more.  - Psalm 103:11-16

All peoples in the whole Earth will praise His name for He alone is worthy!!!

10 Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God;

11 for it is written, "As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God." 

12 So then each of us will give an account of himself to God. - Romans 14:10-12

3 This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,

4 who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

6 who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time. - 1 Timothy 2:3-6
