As always the Scripture should force the conclusions. So peruse it and discern the truth where it is present. God is sovereign and can choose to answer any prayer He sees fit. But Scripture clearly indicates that God does not listen to or answer every prayer. In fact, Scripture gives at least fifteen reasons for unanswered prayer. God does not answer the prayer of those: 1. Who have personal and selfish motives. (James 4:3). 2. Who regard iniquity in their hearts. (Psalm 66:18). 3. Who remain in sin. (Isaiah 59:2, John 9:31). 4. Who offer unworthy service to God. (Malachi 1:7) 5. Who forsake God. (Jeremiah 14:10-12). 6. Who reject God's call. (Proverbs 1:24-25, 28). 7. Who will not heed God's law. (Proverbs 28:9, Zechariah 7:11-13). 8. Who turn a deaf ear to the cry of the poor. (Proverbs 21:13). 9. Who are violent. (Isaiah 1:15; see also 59:2-3). 10. Who worship idols. (Jeremiah 11:11-14; see also Ezekiel 8:15-18). 11. Who have no faith. (James 1:6-7). 12. Who are living in hypocrisy. (Luke 12:1). 13. Who are proud of heart. (James 4:6; 1 Peter 5:5). 14. Who are self-righteous. (Luke 18:11-14). 15. Who mistreat God's people. (Psalm 18:40-41, Micah 3:2-4). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
