[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to pray every day. It didn’t work. [/quote]

When a wicked person prays, sometimes God turns a deaf ear.

People who have turned their backs on God and scoffed at him should not expect God to hear their prayers, let alone answer them.

[Re: David’s enemies:] They cried for help, but there was none to save; they cried to the Lord, but he did not answer them. (Ps. 18:41)

Sometimes God answers “no” to a believer’s specific prayer.

Sometimes God answers “not yet” to a believer’s specific prayer.

While one prayer is enough sometimes, it is also the case that God wants us to be persistent in our appeals and wait on him.

God does not encourage us to pray so he can stay informed of our latest wishes. He already knows our desires before we disclose them.

God tells us to pray because prayer is integral to our communion with him. It positions us to experience true contentment.

Prayer turns our attention from ourselves to God. It gives us the opportunity to worship him humbly, align with him morally, convey gratitude for his blessings, and express faith in his goodness.[/quote]
