Why is God Not Answering My Prayer?

Do you ever feel like God is not answering your prayers? I have yet to meet a Christian who thought they prayed enough. It seems that we often struggle with our daily conversations with God. I have really been challenged with week as I have considered Jesus practice and teaching on prayer for an upcoming sermon. I found this quotation from Bill Hybles about prayer that you might find helpful:

If the request is wrong, God says, "No."

If the timing is wrong, God says, "Slow."

If you are wrong, God says, "Grow."

But if the request is right, the timing is right and you are right, God says, "Go!"

(Bill Hybels, Too Busy Not To Pray, IVP, p. 74).
