Ever wonder why your prayers are not being answered? Here are some common reasons why you have unanswered prayers. I encourage you to read them and take another approach in your prayer life, so that God can have an attentive ear to your prayers.

1. Lack of Fellowship with God and His Word. John 15:7 "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you."

2. Not seeking to please the Lord. 1 John 3:22 "And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight."

3. Unconfessed sins in One's life. 1 Peter 3:12" For the eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their prayers: But the face of the LORD is against those who do evil."

4. Improper Motives James 4:3 " You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures."

5.Not asking in God's will 1 John 5:14-15 "Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him."

6. Don't know how to pray Luke 11:1 ".....Lord, teach us to pray......"

7.Lack of Faith Hebrews 11:6 "But without faith it is impossible to please him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him."

8.Misunderstanding of Faith Mark 11:24 " Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

9. Waivering Faith James 1:6-7 " But let him ask in faih, with no doubting, for he who doubts, is like a wave of the sea,

driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord..."

10.Failure to apply Spiritual Authority Mark 11:23 " For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, Be removed and be cast into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says."

11. Lack of Perserverance Galatians 6:9 " And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart."
