No, if God does not answer a prayer then you were not meant to receive what ever you asked for. God gives us everything we have: Health, a home, food, money, every thing we have God has given to us. If we do not get what we have asked for (A friend to be in better health, more money etc.) that means we were not meant to have it.
Another view:
Prayer serves a basic human need; the need to do something when there is nothing that can be done. It is impossible to prove God exists, and even if there is a God, he may not be interested in answering prayers. Scientific studies at Harvard, Duke and elsewhere provide evidence that praying for a sick person makes no difference in the health or recovery of that person. However, there is no harm in praying for a sick person, and it might help the person who is praying to cope with a crisis affecting a loved one, and it might make the sick person feel better to know that someone cares enough to pray for them.
Third answer:
i think that if they dont come true it doesn't mean that God isn't real, it just means he has something more important before yours
Those that believe in God believe that he hears all prayers. In most major religions, God is omnipotent and omniscient, so he would hear the prayers of everyone.
AnswerBlaise Pascal claimed to prove that belief in God is rational with the argument, "If God does not exist, one will lose nothing by believing in him, while if he does exist, one will lose everything by not believing. We are compelled to gamble."
Yes, God listens to everyone's prayers, regardless of their past actions or beliefs. It is believed that God's love and mercy extends to all individuals, regardless of their sins. It is never too late to seek forgiveness and guidance through prayer.
It was Abel he would be praying when he offered Jehovah which is Gods personal name a sacrifice in gen4v4
Philippians 4:6 "...in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God." Many prayers to God are requests in harmony with His will. I John 5:14 "And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:" Prayers of worship strengthen our relationship with God and our devotion to Him. We build the mindset that we can go to Him for anything and everything. Romans 8:14-16 "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have... received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:" Intercessions are prayers with care and concern for the needs of others. I Timothy 2:1 "I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men." Romans 8:27 "And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God." Prayers of praise and thankfulness to God help us build an attitude of gratitude. We more fully recognize that God's promises to us have been fulfilled. Ephesians 5:20 "Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." Colossians 3:17 "And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him."
no it really does not because every one knows he is real
The chorus for the song "Unanswered Prayers" is: "Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers. Remember when you're talkin' to the Man upstairs that just because He doesn't answer doesn't mean He don't care. Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers."
God doesn't exist. It's simple really. Christians pray to a false being and because he is isn't there, no one but themselves hear their prayers. So therefore, it goes unanswered.
It explains that prayers to a god are not always answered, not that a god does not exist. However, if the god in question meets some criteria that would allow an expectation for all prayers to be answered, it does not exist.
I think that god always answers prayers, even if its a no or not what you wanted. BUt an unanswered prayer probably means like that they did not get what they wanted.Even though that was gods way of answering it it wasnt what they wanted. That is the truth. God answers all prayers even if we don't see it.
Gods prophets, and God does exist there are any Islamic miracles to prove this.
Probably questions such as 'is there life on other planets' or 'does God exist' - Since we currently have no way of absolutely proving the existence of life on other planets, or absoltely proving the existence of god - this type of question is likely to remain unanswered.
It is not possible to prove God doesn't exist, just as we can't prove fairies, elves and unicorns don't exist. The inability to prove something doesn't exist does not therefore mean that it does exist. It is not possible to prove that there is no teapot in orbit around Pluto, yet the lack of such a proof doesn't mean that the teapot therefore exists. There have been several attempts to prove that God exists using logic (eg Kalam cosmological argument, Transcendental Argument for God [TAG]), but these are not universally accepted as valid and true - if they were then there'd be no need for any further discussion.
Ctholics may respond to unanwered prayers by becoming agnostic (not sure about god) and may believe God does not want to answer their rayers. God does not answer selfish prayers but if it was a good prayer then he would answer it in his own time to fit in with his own prayers and they way he wans to answer the prayer. Catholics may think God will answer the prayers straight away and give them a sign or just simply fix their problems straight away. But that is not how God answers prayers but instead will answer them in his own time the way he wants. An example of a selfish prayer: e.g. praying for wealth or love, this won't be answer by God because it is selfish. But an example of a prayer that will be answered is: e.g. Praying for sick one's.Summary:-Selfish Prayers-Becoming AGNOSTIC-Not answering prayers the way they would like.-Year 11 Girl, St.Peters, Southbourne, Jess.Catholic AnswerThe only way that a Catholic should respond to the problem of "unanswered prayers" is by talking with their spiritual director or confessor and realizing that there are no such things as "unanswered prayers", God always answers prayers. The problem that people have to realize is that He often says "no" as we ask wrongly, or ask for the wrong things. However, when He says "no" He always gives us something better than we asked for. Our job is to align ourselves with His Will. So if we think that God isn't answering our prayers, we have a lot of work to do so that we may recognize His Will, and grow in prayer so that we may conform ourselves to His Will. To think that God is not answering your prayers and so to leave the Church or become agnostic is just compounding the problem.
God does not answer anything. That is why there are many people who doubt if he exists or not. because why, if god is so mighty, never show, or let hear anything of himself? God answers people prayers. Sometimes He answers with a "yes" and other times He answers with a "no". But they do not go unanswered.
Amun was a god. You therefore cannot prove either that did exist or that he didn't exist, the same as with modern gods.
Some science suggests that a god may exist. However there is still no proof to prove that god does exist. Actually, there's no proof to prove that science exists either, but don't let that bother you. Just take our word for it. Would we get something this important wrong?
