In Bible times, God did not answer those who rejected his righteous laws. (Isaiah 1:15, 16) His feelings have not changed. (Malachi 3:6) If we want God to answer our prayers, we must do what can to live in harmony with his laws. What, though, if we did things in the past that are wrong. Does that mean Jehovah will never listen to us? Of course, not! God will willingly forgive us we turn our life around and do our best to please him. - ACTS 3:19.
Prayer is not a mere emotional outlet for us when we are under stress. It is an expression of our faith and part of our worship of God. If we do not "keep asking in faith," says the disciple James, then we "should not expect to receive anything from Jehovah. (James 1:6, 7) To build faith in God, we must take the time and effort to get to know him by studying the Bible. Doing so will help us to know his will and to pray with conviction.
DO NOT GIVE UP!
Though God does not answer all prayers, he does hear and answer the sincere prayers of millions of people. The Bible outlines steps you can take so your prayers will be pleasing to God.
