…. If we ask anything according to His will. He hears us – I john 5:14
Most of the time the prayers are not answered because it is self-centered and the motives are wrong. When the motives are correct or according to His will or for the benefit of others, God will not only answer the prayers, but He will give more than we asked or prayed.
For example, we read in 2 Chronicles 7:11-22 that Solomon will pray to God to fill him with wisdom so that he can Govern His people. Since Solomon’s prayer was not Self centric, God not only blessed him with wisdom but as an additional bonus granted him honor and riches.
God will also not answer our prayer when there is sin in our life. The Lord is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous – Proverbs 15:29. Even when sinless Job repents and turns to God with Ashes, How much more should we all? Let all of us repent and turn to God so that He may hear our prayers like He heard the prayers of Solomon.
Prayers: Father God, I confess my sin and repent to you. Fill me with your holy spirit so that I can pray according to your will and be a blessing. In Jesus name I pray – Amen !!!
