    6 A primary requirement is that we exercise faith. (Read Mark 11:24.) The apostle Paul wrote: “Without faith it is impossible to please God well, for whoever approaches God must believe that he is and that he becomes the rewarder of those earnestly seeking him.” (Hebrews 11:6) Having true faith is more than merely knowing that God exists and that he hears and answers prayers. Faith is proved by our actions. We must give clear evidence that we have faith by the way we live every day.—James 2:26.

    7. (a) Why should we be respectful when speaking to Jehovah in prayer? (b) When praying to God, how can we show humility and sincerity?

    7 Jehovah also requires that those who approach him in prayer do so with humility and sincerity. Do we not have reason to be humble when speaking to Jehovah? When people have the opportunity to speak to a king or a president, they usually do so respectfully, acknowledging the ruler’s high position. How much more so should we be respectful when approaching Jehovah! (Psalm 138:6) After all, he is “God Almighty.” (Genesis 17:1) When we pray to God, the manner in which we approach him should show that we humbly recognize our position before him. Such humility will also move us to pray from our heart in sincerity, avoiding routine, repetitive prayers.—Matthew 6:7, 8.

    8. How can we act in harmony with what we pray for?

    8 Another requirement for being heard by God is that we act in harmony with our prayers. Jehovah expects us to do all that is within our power to work at what we pray for. For example, if we pray, “Give us today our bread for this day,” we must work hard at whatever available job we are able to perform. (Matthew 6:11; 2 Thessalonians 3:10) If we pray for help in overcoming a fleshly weakness, we must be careful to avoid circumstances and situations that could lead us into temptation. (Colossians 3:5) In addition to these basic requirements, there are questions about prayer that we need to have answered.

    God isn't the one who is stopping your prayers from being answered that's all you!

    First ask God for what you need then go to the people who are waiting to disburse it to you!

    But until you learn how to seek you won't find!

    You need experienced Christians to teach you so go get help! Why sit there till you die?

    God listens to people from all nations. (Psalm 145:18, 19) His Word, the Bible, encourages us to speak to him about any matter that concerns us. (Philippians 4:6, 7) Yet, some prayers displease God. For example, repeating memorized prayers does not please him.—Read Matthew 6:7.

    Also, Jehovah dislikes the prayers of people who willfully disregard his law. (Proverbs 28:9) For example, in Bible times, God refused to listen to Israelites who were guilty of murder. Clearly, we must meet certain requirements to be heard by God.—Read Isaiah 1:15.

    Lets ask God!

    Pro 15:29 The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.

    He says that you must be righteous to be heard by him!

    You can't even respect his name. It's "God" - not god.

    Psa 99:3 Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy.

    All you have to do is your fair share in the relationship by first making a sincere covenant with the Father that you will always obey all of Jesus' sayings . And then you can do the same things Jesus did .

    God is a god friend of mine and I convinced him 50 years ago to never answer another prayer ever again.

    God exists alright...maybe not an old white Santa Claus man, looking down at us from above, but there was something here before I was born, and there will be something left, when I am gone..........

    Maybe coz you're too small an entity for God to be bothered about! Maybe he never meant to help us.

  • I know right. It's as if they're.....made up.

    You are doing it all backwards.... you believe first, then He will reveal Himself to you and answer prayer.
