Best Answer
A:Christians believe that God will answer their prayers as an acknowledgement of the faith of those who submit their prayers to him. If he does not answer a prayer, it is assumed not to have been worthy or not part of God's plan.

You can be certain that if enough people pray for the things they want or need, some of them will have their wishes fulfilled, while others will not. Whether that outcome is because of God's unknowable plan or simply blind chance is something each person can decide. This means that if you pray often enough, at least some of your prayers will be answered, if only by chance. . You will probably remember these answers to your prayers, but soon forget the many prayers that seemingly were not answered.

What would you do if someone you known Committed Suicide?

. We cannot know the final disposition for anyone's soul before God. All we can do is trust in the mercy of God and pray for that person. There have been a few revelations to people of persons who committed suicide, in the two that I can think of, one was a young girl who appeared to her friend who had been praying for her, she told her to not pray for her as she was in hell. The other was Our Blessed Lady revealing to a mother that her son had repented with his dying breath and would be in purgatory for the rest of the time so he was in desperate need of prayers. We should commend these souls to God and pray for their release from purgatory. All prayers offered for the dead are used by God. If the person has no need of our prayers, then God uses them for someone who does need our prayers. Prayers for the dead are never "wasted."

What is lacking in our prayers and why do prayers not stop us from sins?

A:A sincere believer will say that what is often lacking in prayers is faith. Without faith the Holy Spirit can not guide us away from sin.A non-believer will say that prayers do not stop us from sins because the Holy Spirit does not exist - he is imaginary. With no God and no Holy Spirit, it is our own responsibility, guided not by the Holy Spirit but by our consciences, to do good to others.Each person must choose whether to believe that God does not help those with not enough faith, even just to help them avoid sin, or whether to believe that prayer is just talking into an empty void.
