Solomon19:Effects of religious indoctrinations. Teaching children to pray to the skies for help in their problems will create adults that will be unable to solve their problems but keep relying on vague abstract concepts to solve their problems. Keep praying, even sacrifice as much as you want to Jesus, Allah, Brahma or amadioha. The only person that can help you is you in relation with social interactions. If you do not get up to move that cup, nothing will move it for you. If you are waiting for any deity to move it for you then you are in for a very good long wait. You have to accept your problems to be your responsibility, that is the only way you improve your chances of solving them. 5 Likes 4 Shares |

You have probably been praying the wrong prayers, start with prayer of enquiry, use Jeremiah 3v33 as your anchor scripture, make sure you maintain constant night vigils until God answers you, God still answers prayers. |

Solomon19: Praying against your problems won't solve anything. God doesn't exist and it is apparent by the incompetence he has shown in your and other people's cases. I'd advice you stick you head out of the bible and face the reality of the world we are living in. Get a skill, start a business, find a job, read motivational books, get a degree, get a mentor who is successful etc. Don't kneel and pray, stand up and act! 1 Like |

Tonel09: He has been praying and nothing has been happening and THAT is proof that whatever he is praying to is either incompetent or non-existent. Same thing with lots of different people all over the world who hold on to this "god" concept. The op can do anything he sets his mind to and he doesn't need to pray to the god of the Israelis, who don't give a fvck about us by the way, to achieve whatever goal he sets his mind to. I am really amazed by the amount of ass kissing displayed by Africans. We place so much value on what foreigners tell us than our own cultures and beliefs. Pathetic ![]() |

Solomon19:.Please never you lose hope in God.he is never too early nor too late. don't go to any prayer house if your sure that your a true child of God. I tell you is hard to find a true man of God, I mean a real man of God. they walk in the name of God but devils inside.they call the name of God but devil receive thier glory. watch how you live your life. don't offend God while asking him of his blessings. keep praying for yourself be God's man and Belive in yourself. make sure your not a lazy type.get busy with a decent job no matter how small so that God will work with that.God can not work with nothing.manner don't fall from heaven anymore. don't be weak never let go until he bless you.have faith and keep praying. 2 Likes |

Pray with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your strength. Commune with God without sinning and Pray without ceasing. Ask for only one thing at a time in addition to give us our daily bread, forgive our sins as we forgive others, lead us not into temptation and deliver us from adversaries.

Solomon19: If all the prayers of tb Joshua, adeboye and pastor Chris, couldn't rescue chibok girls. Innocent little girl. Why do you think any God will help your situation? I was out of job for 3 years, praying and asking and imaginary God to help me. Until I realized I have just been talking to myself all these while. I dropped the act of praying and imbibed a positive life. I left church and started thinking. Today... My story is different. I have not been ti church for 2years and I am better than my situation when I was in church. Look, with or with believing in God, your situation will change just as long as u have the right mentality. No God helps anyone, only man helps man. 1 Like 1 Share |

Solomon19:do not listen to this atheists , they are children of the devil. Take all your time, read , God will answer your prayer. There has been times in my life when I have been up and down, times when prayer seems to come easy, and times when prayer doesn't come easy at all. There is something, I think, in man that makes it hard to pray, but what is it? Why should anyone have difficulty in praying? Is it because we think that God will not hear us? That's a possibility. I've heard people speak about getting on their knees to pray and having the feeling that their prayers were bouncing off the ceiling, going no higher than the ceiling, that nobody was hearing it but them. They don't think God is actually hearing what they are saying. They may feel that way because they feel unworthy, or because they feel God is down on them. They may feel that God has somehow shut them up and won't listen to them. Is it because we don't think it will change anything? And if that's the case, is it because we just don't believe? Or that we believe that God is going to do what He's going to do regardless of what we ask? “What's the point in praying about this? I'm going to pray and I'm going to ask God to do this, but God already knows what's best, and He's going to do what's best, and I'm going to say 'Thy will be done,' and what's the point in asking because His will is going to be done anyway?” Maybe we don't pray a lot because we think it isn't going to change anything. God will just do what he's going to do whether we ask Him to do it or not. SOLUTION; Luke 11:1-2, "And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. And he said unto them, When ye pray, say…" Now, most people can, without reading their bible, can site what Jesus said about how you are to pray. So, Jesus gives what is called “the Lord's Prayer,” but he continues, he's NOT THROUGH TEACHING THEM HOW TO PRAY! The “Lord's Prayer” is not all he said in response to the question, “Lord, teach us to pray.”the Lord prayer was just like an idea on what to say when praying , the next verse gives us the right attitude;continue; Luke 11:5-7, "And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves; For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him? And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee." "Jesus' listeners would have considered the response of the man who was in bed absolutely unconscionable" Luke 11:8, "I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet BECAUSE OF HIS IMPORTUNITY he will rise and give him as many as he needeth." What's going on here? Well the man's not going to go away! He's going to stay down there; he's going to keep on knocking on the door. He's going to say, “get up and get me some bread! I'm not going to let you sleep until you get up and come out here and give me three loaves of bread. The word for “importunity” in the Greek literally means “SHAMLESNESS.” Without shame. I think that's absolutely fascinating, because a modest man would say, “Gee. I asked and he didn't give me any bread. Well, I guess I better go away now because I must be causing him a lot of inconvenience.” No, he is shameless! THERE ARE THREE EXAMPLES OF IMPORTUNITY; EXAMPLE ONE Luke 18:1-8, "And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; YET BECAUSE THIS WIDOW TROUBLETH ME,I WILL AVENGE HER,LEST BY HER CONTINUE COMING SHE WEARY ME. And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily." Here is a judge that was fearless, and would not avenge this widow's adversary. But she kept asking him OVER and OVER and the judge finally gave in to her requests, lest she weary him by her continual coming. EXAMPLE TWO: Luke 18:35-39, "And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging: And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant. And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me. And they which went before REBUKE HIM, that he should HOLD his peace…" They rebuked him. They told him to shut up and be quiet! To stay out of the way.BUT Luke 18:39, "...but he cried so much the more, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me." What happens to this man if he shuts up? He's not healed. Yet, there were people there who were trying to talk him out of it, telling him to hush. He didn't hush, he kept yelling. He cried out! Luke 18:40-43, "And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him, Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight. And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: THY FAITH HATH SAVED THEE. And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God." What's faith? Is it a feeling?Is it a mood? An emotion? Faith is a persistence, a boldness. It was his boldness and persistence that got this man his eyesight. It's not a mood, it's not a feeling. Think about it. Jesus said his bold, persistent, aggressive faith has saved him! EXAMPLE THREE: Matthew 15:22, "And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil." This is a Gentile woman, and Jesus did not answer her a word. Didn't say a thing to her, just ignored her! Actually, strange women weren't supposed to be talking to strange men like this. Jesus' manners may seem rude to you, but they were the norm for this time. Matthew 15:23-26, "But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, SEND HER AWAY;FOR SHE CRIETH AFTER US. But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, HELP ME. But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs." First he ignores her, and then he insults her! “This is not for you, you dog! This is for the children. You Gentiles are not in that category of God's children. BUT SHE KEEP ON PRESSING ON: Matthew 15:27, "And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table." This is similar to what happened to a man named Jacob when he wrestled, physically, with God, and who put God in a hold and said, "...I will not let thee go, except thou bless me" (Genesis 32:24-30). He wrestled all night long and said he would not let him go until he blesses him! God even put the hollow of Jacob's thigh out of joint, and he still wouldn't let him go! These people would stand up to God, believe it or not. This woman continued to persist in the argument. And what happened? Matthew 15:28, "Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, GREAT IS THY FAITH : be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour." What's he talking about? He's talking about her boldness, her persistence, her drive, her energy, her willingness to hang in there and not give up on her daughter's sake. Sometimes we can find more faith for our children than we can for ourselves. This woman certainly did. Notice Jesus' response when he saw this kind of faith, this kind of persistent boldness. He said, “I'll give you anything you want!” And her daughter was made whole from that very hour. And Jesus told her that her bold, persistent, aggressive faith has saved her daughter. Continue from the Lord prayer; Luke 11:9-10, "And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened." One thing you can say for sure is that a man who doesn't ask is not going to get it, a man who isn't looking for it isn't going to find it, and a man who doesn't knock on the door will never get it open. Luke 11:11-13, "If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?" You need to understand, the point that is being made here is not that God is a bad neighbor, the point is that if you expect to be heard of God you're going to have to knock and you're going to have to be persistent in what you do, and you are going to have to be shameless. CONCLUSION; Well, the scriptural doctrine of faith is an ACTIVE , persistent, bold approach to God. We seem to think that faith is a PASSIVE virtue; that it's a set of BELIEFS or a way of THINKING , whereas in scripture it's a way of acting! That's where, possibly, the difference may come in. https://www.nairaland.com/2318252/reason-why-prayer-not-being |

johnydon22:well said bro the problems tarry when you refuse to give them the right punch, a lot of things we pass through in life are mere physical manifestations we can attend to ourselves for which God himself will not interfere or intervene; when you look at the progression of science today you will appreciate the need for one to take the bull by the horn when confronted with the vicissitudes of life. The key to victory is knowing that whether you win or lose it's in your hands, you answer for yourself, think differently, open up your mind and you'll see you are surrounded by a world of possibilities. Advancement in science today has helped to change our sense of thinking from the early years and things we used to believe are exclusive duties of God can now be manipulated one of such is that you can decide the sex of the child you desire to have but in any case we cannot do without the 'God factor' in all of life issues 1 Like 1 Share |

Go on a seven days fasting and prayers. and your prayers will be answered. if they are not answered, increase it to 49 days. if they still aren't, then . . . God's will. If you are okay with the above logic, go on. |

God plan for you is good. Keep trusting in Him cos God never fails. You said you are a chorister and done spiritual things all this is good but who knows if God has answered your prayer you will not forget him God wants you to learn something and His name to be glorified. You have to be patience and keep fellowship with Him Hold on, Never give up, keep moving God is listening remembered God never fails |

This past Tuesday my uncle lost a long time friend. Her friend was Christian, my uncle is , his friend's family is and a multitude of people were praying to God for her survival. I was hoping that science did what science does because I learned about the prayer thing long ago.. When she passed someone posted "we prayed like warriors for you to beat this but in the end the Father had his way. He called you on home to be with him." I wanted to strangle the person! So IF the "father" does what he wants, what on earth is there to pray for? Last night I respectfully asked my uncle: 'Since there were so many people praying for her recovery and yet she still died. When this happens what do you think about God and prayer?' he honestly answered " I don't think. " I said therein lies the answer .. IF you think you're afraid of the conclusion. Lace up people...lace the _fuck up...prayers don't do shiit!
