Why Didn’t God Answer My Prayer?

The Bible tells us that with God, all things are possible (Matthew 19:26 NIV). But if that's true, why do you have unanswered prayers? Does it mean you did something wrong? Or that God doesn't care? Let's talk about it as we continue our series, Ever Wonder Why?

What is the Gospel you might ask, well the Gospel means good news and the good news is that Jesus came down from heaven, became a man in the likeness of our sinful flesh (a human) to defeat sin in the flesh by His death on the cross. Which is why the Death of Jesus isn't to be seen as defeat but victory, because it is the only way to be saved and get into heaven.

I was overweight, sleeping 20+ hours a day, could barely get out of bed, and when I did I would have cataplectic episodes. I had to quit my job, quit school, and was miserable. But He rescued me from the pit of despair and breathed new life into me. Why He answered my prayer to be healed? I don’t know, but I am forever thankful. Keep praying, we serve a God who listens!!

I have seen other people who don't pray and find good wives except for me. I feel rejected by God and it hurts to my soul to the core till I am spiritually scared. It makes me cry sometimes looking how long I have been asking him for help.

If everything is possible for someone who believes, and you clearly believe then, we seriously have a problem here if the explanation is supposed to be passing it off to you like it’s your fault when you are clearly asking for a good things, being faithful, and doing it with good intentions. We need a better explanations than some of these cheap answers that are given at the beginning of this.

    I've been praying harder then I've ever prayed in my life for the last week. I've been praying for my dad to get a job. He hasn't had a job in four months and we've depleted all our savings. We only have enough to survive for this month and that's it. I've been praying for a job and he had a job interview for today and they canceled. It was his only job offer after all these months. I was so looking forward for my dad to get that job and I prayed confidently about it, but nothing happened. That really took a plunge on my faith, but this video helped me to understand God a bit better. Tbh I've forgotten god for a long time, but now that I'm going through a bad situation then I come back. I know were supposed to be with god in the good and the bad, I'm just foolish. I will continue to pray and fight for me and my father, no matter the outcome. This hurts so so so so bad, but I will continue to pray.

    I have been forced to face reality. After a job loss and living in poverty, I started praying to the lord for forgiveness of sins and fill me with the holy spirit. I prayed for many months, sometimes many times in a day, to free me from shackles of poverty and financial blessing. Currently situation is worse and could be homeless. Not only did I pray , I have been trying hard to find work all these months. Its appears nothing has worked . I realized that praying could work for some, but obviously not for me . I have to struggle constantly, like I have all my life. One good thing is cant live forever.

    I'm still struggling with the reality that God didn't answer my prayer. But I choose to keep my faith in Him, I still believe in God, and I'm willing to know Him more, I'm willing to have a more intimate relationship with Him, so I can do His will, not my will. And I know that even if I don't get what I want, His grace is sufficient for me. Help me, God. Amen.

I prayed for the restoration of my marriage and it just remained bad. Today I felt as if God had answered this inner question that, as a pastor, I don't share with others. Thank you pastor. I felt the presence of Holy Spirit strongly and I was touched here in my room, watching the message on my cell phone, from here in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil).
