Why Doesn't God Answer Our Prayers | Message 5

The message, Why Doesn’t God Answer Our Prayers?, considers the differences between answered prayers and the unanswered ones and what made the difference.

We seek God’s help repeatedly for needs like; problem relationships, financial difficulties, salvation for loved ones or healing for those seriously ill, and if God fails to act, our normal response is to pray more fervently and more often. Maybe we should try to understand God better and consider why God answers some of our prayers and not others?
