Anyone here question why God does not answer your prayers?

No, but I have questioned why God doesn't just DO whatever I want Him to do?
I guess it's because He's a loving, omniscient Father, and not a "Wish Bear" or doting "Santa Claus" responding to our wishes and not to our needs.
What sort of "unanswered prayer" are you particularly thinking of?
God bless.

God always answers prayer. "No" is an answer. So is "Not right now--you have to wait awhile." An answer we don't like is an answer still. It's too easy to fall into the habit of feeling He hasn't answered unless He says, "Yes," or otherwise gives us what we want.

I asked because I have prayed for certain things regarding my marriage. I also prayed for other things and my prayers seem to go unanswered. I do have faith, but it makes me wonder why God does not hear my prayers. It makes me wonder why there is all this pain and suffering here on this board and everywhere.
