God listens to prayer and the moment we pray he listens. He who does not pray will be rob of the blessings, favour and mercies of God. Prayer is pivotal- meaning prayer is necessary in the life of mankind, It is like the air we breathe, without prayer we will die.
It is a necessity for survival. You will return with power if you stay in prayer.God can't do anything until we pray. The establishment of the word of God on your life is by prayer. To be prayerless is to be be lifeless.
God wants to answer us when we pray for He has said in his word that we should call on Him and He will answer us.Jeremiah 33:3.
However, some pray without getting an answer and this is due to the fact that they always pray amiss. That are things that hinders prayers which I share with you few:
Doubt :
God works with people who have a strong faith in him and not those with divided attention. Doubt is something that often deprive us from receiving answers when we pray to God. It steals our blessing.
Unbelieve:
Many Christians know about God and believe He exist but don't believe him and his ability to provide. All things are possible to him that believe and he that does not can't receive answer when he pray.
Lack of Knowledge of Our right standing with God:
Some of us have been Christian for a long time but still have inadequate knowledge about God. Such Christians live in ignorance and so don't know their rights in Christ. For this reason it is hard for them to claim what is rightfully theirs. They are the Christians who beg God for anything when they pray.
Ignorance of our right to use the name of Jesus:
Many Christians don't know the power inherent in the name of Jesus. There is power in the name of Jesus but only a few people can activate this power.
Unforgiveness:
An unforgiving person's prayer is always hindered. If we are always concerned about the wrongs people have done to us then we will not be answered whenever we pray.
Strive:
Opposing one another or being in contention with one another is something that hinder our prayers.
May you never pray amiss or your prayers be hindered.
