God hears all our prayers, but doesnt necessarily answer all of them. Explain this in detail , giving reasons?

He does answer all of them but he often doesn't answer them in the way we want him to and sometimes he even says, "no."

When you ask God for something, He will do one of three things. HE will grant you your prayers, save it up until the Hereafter or He will use it to avert a disaster for you. So, if for example, at a certain point in your life you were meant to have a car accident that left you paralysed from the waist down, because you made lots of prayers, when that time came all you escaped with was a broken leg.

That's what we Muslims believe anyway.

He does answer all prayers. Its just might not be the answer you desired to hear. Sometimes the answer is yes or He performs/allows what you've asked for. Sometimes the answer is no. And then sometimes the answer is wait or keep asking. God does truly want what is best for us. We seem to forget that He knows what that is better than we do. In our arrogance, we get mad when we don't get all we ask for. Do you always give to your children/grandchildren everything they ask for. NO! Why? Because you love them and want what is best for them. (Conditional upon you being a caring, loving, and half way attentive parent) We are unable to see the "whole" picture of our life, therefore we are not aware of all things that are good/bad for us. Also, God is sovereign. He doesn't have to "do" anything but He chooses to because of His love.

First of all, you accept that god is hearing your prayers. Secondly, you appear to have answers for some and no reply for others. correct. but be assured that the Unidentified Nameless Nothing Supreme Power UNNSUP can hear all living things- you can establish contact- all you have to do is to concentrate- but never expect what you want from UNNSUP- you pray and leave it to the Power to decide the course of happenings- the stronger your concentration- the greater the chances of the reactions- but bear it in mind- if your concentration is genuine and dedicated, things may happen which may not be liked or tolerated or accepted by you- but the end would be to your advantange- be patient and continue to concentrate and suffer the intervening happenings with the full faith that the end results would be favourable . this is the secret of concentration in divinity-

but on the contrary, you expect the god or the supreme power to do what ever you wished, then it is foolish imaginations and wishful thinking. what is destined to happen would happen, but if you are not wavering in your concentraion in one form of god, please be assured that you would be protected and get what you deserve .

there are no norms for prayer or no forms either for worship- think about the same form of god- always , in all places as if the god is always with you nearby.

you wanted an example- let me tell you something

In an empty room, with all doors and windows closed- when you go lock yourself inside, alone- what do you hear -except freak noises penetrating the closed doors or windows. apart from it, nothing and no sound whatsoever. but if you switch on a transistor in that room cannot you hear songs or voices etc? where were the sound waves in the room ? they were there invisble or inaudible. Correct. similarly when you switch on a TV, you can see images or pictures. Where were the video waves in the room- they were there in the same room with you. but you could not see .right.

if human beings can make sound and video waves disappear and appear with the man made gadgets like TV or transistor, at the same strength at millions of TVs or transistors all over the world is it difficult for the UNNSUP, the creator of the universe, to make the personal presence appear and disappear depending upon the strength of the concentration of human mind- which is the gadget provided by the Supreme power to all human beings as receivers of the signals of the UNNSUP.

You require a TV or transistor for receiving the signals for man made transmissions but UNNSUP quietly provided the receiver in the human syster to communicate with the POWER. in the form of human mind.

we do not use it or under use it or misuse it. Start concentrating in one form of god and experience the thrills of communicating with the divinity removing the greatest barrier between man and god- namely- religion

God answers every prayer from His children. He often says "No" because we ask for things that will hurt us more than help us. Healing and wealth are two prime examples. God allows suffering to teach us and lead us in the path we are to walk.

However, God does not answer prayers from unbelievers. In this case, He is your God, not your Father, so the family relationship has not been established. That is to say, He does not "know you" as His son/daughter. There is one exception....a prayer of repentance and faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. This is a prayer that God loves to hear, if the heart is true in it's motives.

Christians in general need to learn that many requests from our Father are denied for our good and His glory. Unbelievers need not even try to pray, except in an effort to "know Him" who alone can destroy not only the body but also the soul.

P.S. I purposely did not list a lot of scriptures. I find that those who are interested in what the Bible has to say will read it for themselves. I posted a site I use for research.

Well consider a child in the course of a day,he or she will demand things which seem only natural to itself without being fully aware of the consequences,many times we are just like this and we ask for certain things without being able to see the big picture!

God who has infinite wisdom knows what is good or detrimental for our well being, and being the good Father has to say no as well as yes if the thing asked for is not spiritually beneficial in the long run.

What we want and what we really need can often be two different things and sometimes with hindsight it is better for us that God does not grant our every wish,for some wishes can be harmful and God does not want this for His children,we need to think hard on what we ask God for.

Here are the details: God hears all our prayers, but doesn't necessarily answer all of them.

Reason: because He is God and He is sovereign.

One needs to understand. God answers prayers only if they need be. Some prayers don't need be ask. if you are able to do it yourself. then there would be no need to pray for it. Its a matter of ones needs. Which is more important. if one pray to help others .then it would be first. then asking for onesself.You also need to be sincere. and honest in your prayers. God knows if you are sincere or not. it must come from the heart. But don't try to deceive him. he will know.

He does answer all prayer. Some times He says no. The reason He says no is He knows what is best for you even when you don't see the whole picture He does.

He answers all prayers according to his will not ours. When we don't get what we ask for we think he hasn't answerred but he has and the answer was NO! Or wait. This is why we must wiat on the Lord.

Psa 27:13-14 KJV I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. (14) Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

"And when you pray, do not use meaningless repetition, as the gentiles do, for they suppose that they will be heard for there many words. Therefore do not be like them; for your father[GOD] knows what you NEED, before you ask him. Matthew 6:7,8 GOD gives us what we need not what we want. All you have to do is have faith and believe. Look at the birds, they don't have cars but they have what they need provided by GOD. We do to we are just destroying it.

Bless you and Jesus be with you:
