"God doesn't hear my prayers. Faith"

Does God really Answers Prayers?

Have you ever felt like your prayers are bouncing off the ceiling? Like you're crying out to God, but He’s silent—or even absent?

You’re not alone.

Many people wrestle with the idea that God doesn’t answer their prayers. But the Bible is full of reassurance that God does hear us.

God's Timing Is Not Our Timing

“For the vision is yet for an appointed time... though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not delay.” — Habakkuk 2:3 (KJV)

Sometimes God’s answer is “Wait.” We want immediate results, but God operates on a timetable that is perfect. What feels like a delay is often divine preparation.

Sometimes the Answer is “No”—For Our Good

“My grace is sufficient for you, for my strength is made perfect in weakness.” — 2 Corinthians 12:9 (KJV)

Even the Apostle Paul prayed for healing and didn’t receive it in the way he expected. But God gave him something better—grace and strength to endure. A “no” is not rejection. It’s redirection.

God Answers in Ways We Don’t Expect

“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think…” — Ephesians 3:20 (NKJV)

You may pray for one thing, and God answers with something even better. He sees the whole picture. Trust His wisdom.

God Is Closer Than You Think

“The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth.” — Psalm 145:18 (NIV)

When we come to God with honesty, even in doubt or disappointment, He draws near. He is not intimidated by your emotions. He welcomes them.

If you’re feeling discouraged, know this: God’s silence is not absence. His delay is not denial. His answer may not be what you expected, but it will always be for your good and His glory.

Keep praying. Keep trusting. He is faithful.
