Ineffective Prayer Can Get Frustrating!

Looking back on my life, I recall having ineffective prayer at certain times. Yet, after closer examination of the facts, I was praying for selfish things or things not in God’s will, not to mention having a sinful, unconfessed heart. Some people think God will always hear them and grant their requests. A survey of the Bible on this topic suggests that the answer is yes and no. Yes, he hears you, but no, he may not always give you what you ask for. ~ Bill Greguska
The Bible does refer to ineffective prayer. It is clear that we potentially influence God’s response to prayer through essential factors, such as:

 

 


 

Instead of Praying for Your Friends and Family’s Salvation ~ Do This! 


Let’s Look And Learn What God Requires Of Us!

Forgive me and give me encouragement to become all you have designed me to be. NeedEncouragement.comIf you are in God’s word and will, producing fruit and loving one another with mutual respect, God will hear your prayers.

 

  • John 15:7 “If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given to you. This verse suggests that we need to read the Bible and allow God’s words to saturate us. Are you doing this?

 

  • John 15:16: “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.” This verse suggests that if we bear the fruit God has called us to bear, we may ask of God in Jesus’ Name, and he will answer our prayers. Are you bearing fruit according to God’s calling in accordance with life?

 

  • 1 Peter 3:7 “Husbands, in the same way, be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life so that nothing will hinder your prayers.” Although addressed to Husbands, this verse also applies to Wives. It suggests that our prayers will be hindered if we do not consider our spouses and treat them with love and respect. If you are married, how are you treating your spouse? How are you treating your boyfriend/girlfriend, or your family members, if you are not married?

 


The Second Reason For Ineffective Prayer!

The other reason for ineffective prayer is based on how you address sin in your life at the time. Are you cherishing/embracing your sin, or are you fighting against it?
  • Psalm 66:17-20 “I cried out to him with my mouth; his praise was on my tongue. If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened; but God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer. Praise God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me!

 

  • Isaiah 59:1-2 “Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear. But your iniquities (sin) have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you so that he will not hear.”

 

  • Ezekiel 14:3 “Son of man, these men have set up idols in their hearts and put wicked stumbling blocks before their faces. Should I let them inquire of me at all?”

 

  • Read James 5:13-18. Verse 16: “Therefore, confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.”
