Shalom! Why are people's needs unmet even though they have prayed so much about them? Or is it that God select whose prayer to answer and whose to ignore? Or is it that people concerned have not prayed long enough?
God doesn't select prayers, but we select which prayer God should answer by our attitude to His Word.
Some people believe that how much time they spend praying determines the outcome of their prayers. This I know, our prayers are important to God and He has made provisions on how to get those needs met.
Mark 11: 24
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
Most time it's not that people don't pray long enough, but that they didn't pray according to the way the Word of God instructed us to do it. Excuse me, there is a how to pray about different needs.
Most times when people pray they do it hoping God heard, when they are supposed to be certain that He will definitely answer their prayers. The common problem is that people have not learnt how to pray in faith.
In our text, Mark 11: 24, Jesus taught us to believe we recieve those things we desire WHEN WE PRAY, and we will have those things. You may pray as long as you want, if you don't believe you recieve what you prayed for, you'll never get it.
The common problem is people are either doubting, fearing or not believing. You cannot have any of these and get prayers answered. See you next time. God bless.
