    No,you do not have to have religion for God to answer your prayers.Just faith!And faith is not believing He can,but knowing He will!

    I not sure but I'm sure u have to be a true believer of god. Having a religion just means ur beliefs and that u believe in god.

    And from there I would suggest u become a Muslim definetely the best and most legitimate religion. Also u can almost always get mercy from god if u pray regularly and also teaches u/or puts u into habit of doing many simple things u should be doing as a good human eg. Hygiene (search wudu and u wil see what I mean) also quite easy to submit too and in case ur thinking all these things about terrorism and jihad are not true islam teaches u to be kind and caring nor matter who it is and what religion that person is. Great religion I would say

    When I was a young woman and bottomed out - lousy job, no family, no friends and about to become homeless - I prayed without really realizing it. "Oh, God!" I cried, "What am I going to do? I have no money, no place to go, nobody to help me, no hope!" I was an atheist, so saying "Oh, God!" was just an expression to me.

    But God heard me and within two weeks, I had a home in a new state, a job, money in my pocket, and several new friends who were helping me, and I suddenly realized that God is real.

    So pray to Him. And listen. And watch.

    You don't need to have a religion to believe and trust in God. Say your prayers every night just talk with God and ask him to help and guide you.Don't stop praying once God see's fit to answer your prayers.You need him always in your life.

    there's a call for for procuring prayers heard by God. listening to the ten commandments, the regulation of God. "He that turns away his pay attention from listening to the regulation even his prayer would be abomination" (Proverbs 28:9). In at present's worldwide human beings do no longer pay attention to the 4th commandment.

    first yes you need to be Christian so god answer your prayers but if you really want to know god he will show himself to you through your life and his work in your life and signs so you accept him and get baptised catholic or orthodox, doesn't matter as long as you follow the apostolic churches. i wont lie to you im Christian Orthodox and we also have some bad times when we don't pray and stay far from god he makes us feel alone (which when we are far from him the devil control some things in our life because we didn't give our life to Christ we don't have a strong relationship with him like praying and fasting) when i feel lonely and all my friends fight with me i realise that long time i haven't pried and asked god for forgiveness god always forgive your sin when you are truly sorry for it. we can never be perfect so we sin always but we have to try been perfect as how our father in heaven is perfect so when we die we pay the last penalty for our sins as how Jesus died on the cross then we will be perfect in heaven with his well of course. so Jesus will light your life trust me he loves you he said my sheep hear my voice and follow me see in good in yourself it's god's well it's him his voice calling you and you will follow him and carry your own cross. I'm not telling you that your life will be perfect when you be Christian but you will see the light of Christ in you and you will be forgiven for your sins. you will be in test also sometimes you will pray every day and fast and ask god for something he wont do it for you and see will you stop asking him will you stop praying or you will stay and pry for him then he will reward you 100 times more then you expected. Jesus loves you man he died for you if you don't have time reading the bible try one page everyday or week or month also watch the passion of the Christ it will give you an idea.

    You have to become a Christian in order for answered Prayers.

    Dear God, I know that you sent Jesus to be my Savior because I am a sinner, and that He died on the cross to take the punishment for my sins. I know that Jesus rose from the dead and is coming back. Please forgive me of all of my sins, and come into my life and change me. Please guide me in my life and help me to follow you for the rest of my life. Thank you for saving me and taking me to heaven when I die. In Jesus,Name, Amen.

    God Bless Ya,

    You must believe in The True And Living GOD.

    Jeremiah 10

    Amplified Bible (AMP)

    10 But the Lord is the true God and the God of truth (the God Who is Truth). He is the living God and the everlasting King. At His wrath the earth quakes, and the nations are not able to bear His indignation.

    Hebrews 11

    Amplified Bible (AMP)

    6 But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him [out].

    Psalm 66

    Amplified Bible (AMP)

    18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me;

    Matthew 7

    Amplified Bible (AMP)

    7 [e]Keep on asking and it will be given you; [f] keep on seeking and you will find; [g]keep on knocking [reverently] and [the door] will be opened to you.

    8 For everyone who keeps on asking receives; and he who keeps on seeking finds; and to him who keeps on knocking, [the door] will be opened.

    Ephesians 6

    Amplified Bible (AMP)

    18 Pray at all times (on every occasion, in every season) in the Spirit, with all [manner of] prayer and entreaty. To that end keep alert and watch with strong purpose and perseverance, interceding in behalf of all the saints (God’s consecrated people).

    1 Corinthians 14

    Amplified Bible (AMP)

    15 Then what am I to do? I will pray with my spirit [by the [a]Holy Spirit that is within me], but I will also pray [intelligently] with my mind and understanding; I will sing with my spirit [by the Holy Spirit that is within me], but I will sing [intelligently] with my mind and understanding also.

    Matthew 6

    Amplified Bible (AMP)

    6 But when you pray, go into your [most] private room, and, closing the door, pray to your Father, Who is in secret; and your Father, Who sees in secret, will reward you in the open.

    7 And when you pray, do not heap up phrases (multiply words, repeating the same ones over and over) as the Gentiles do, for they think they will be heard for their much speaking.

    8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
