You might have heard it said “God answers all prayers. He answers ‘YES’, ‘NO’ or ‘WAIT’.” But, did you know there are some kinds of prayers that the Lord doesn’t answer or even listen to?
God does not listen when you pray with wrong motives. (James 4:3)
When you pray without obeying the Word of God, your prayers are not heard. In fact, such prayers are detestable to God! (Proverbs 28:9)
If you enjoy sinning and you pray, the Lord does not listen to your prayers. (Psalm 66:18, Isaiah 1:15)
You could go on and add to the list.
Though God is our best friend and He is Emmanuel, we need to be aware that we are talking to the GOD Almighty. (Eccl. 5: 1 – 7)
Often, we do not know what we need to pray for, because we do not know the mind of the Spirit. Before you think “Well, I already have my list of things to pray for”, check out Romans 8: 26 and 27.
How then should we pray? When we ask according to the will of God, He hears us. (I John 5: 14, 15) The best example to follow is Jesus Himself. What was His attitude in prayer? Read Hebrews 5:7 to know.
