1. 20 REASONS WHY PRAYER GOES UNANSWERED AND
WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
YOU PRAY?

2. Why God does not answer
some people’s prayers?
1. We don’t ask. (Matt. 7:7,8, James 4:2)
2. We haven't asked in faith. (Mark 11:24)
3. We are not looking for God’s answer. (Acts 12:13-15)
4. We are not asking in Jesus' name. (John 14:13,14;
16:23,24)
5. We haven’t fully surrendered to God. (Mal. 1:14; Rev.
3:20)

3. 6. We are asking for things outside of His will.
(1 John 5:14,15)
7. God is waiting for us to accept a greater answer.
(1 Sam. 1:9-12)
8. His answer is being delivered in a “rough packing case.”
(Gen. 1507 45:3-8; Daniel 3:13-15)
9. We are disobeying God.
(1 John 3:22; Ex. 20:8-11; Mal. 3:7-10; 1509 Mal. 2:14,15)

4. 10. We must FULLY obey before the answer comes.
(1 Kings 18:44; 1511 2 Kings 5:14)
11. We limit God by our half-hearted obedience.
(2 Kings 13:18,19)
12. We limit God by our half-hearted prayers.
(Dan. 9:3; Matt. 17:21)
13. We are cherishing something outside of God’s will.
(Isa. 59:1,2)

5. 14. We are forgetting to first “go, then come” so far as
forgiveness goes.
(Matt. 5:23,24)
15.We are lagging behind God’s directing. (Luke 9:23; Ps.
119:105)
16.We are seeking a
supernatural remedy when
a natural remedy—
granted a remedy requiring
dying to self—is available.
(2 Kings 20:7)

6. 17. He is unable to answer at this time (Daniel 10:12-14)
18. It is better that things stay the same (2 Cor. 12:7)
19. We refuse God’s “No” answer. (Deut. 1:40,41)
20. The “Prayer Warriors” you are praying with are not in
relationship with God and therefore not obtaining answers to
prayer. (Mark 9:18)

7. CONDITIONS FOR ANSWERED PRAYERS
 Prayerfully seek God’s face. (2 Chron. 7:14)
 Thank Him for answering regardless of circumstances or
appearances. (Daniel 6:10)
 Keep praying until answers. (Dan. 10:2,3; Col. 1:9)
 Live out your prayer. (2 Sam. 12:13)

8.  Pray specifically. Like Elijah( prayer was definite.)
 Pray with a list.
 Pray with a prayer partner
 Pray in a small group.

9. “God means every prayer to have an answer. Not a single real
prayer can fail of its effect in heaven.... God’s answer to
prayer may be ‘Yes,’ or it may be ‘No.’
It may be ‘Wait,’ for it may be that He plans a much larger
blessing than we imagined, and one that involves other lives
as well as our own.” Kneeling Christian, p. 87.

10. “To pray in Christ's name means much. It means that we are to
accept His character, manifest His spirit, and work His works.
The Saviour's promise is given on condition.
"If ye love Me," He says, "keep My commandments." He saves
men, not in sin, but from sin; and those who love Him will show
their love by obedience.”

11. Happy Sabbath!
