@suzianne saidMost prayers are answered?
No, no, no, no, no.
What seems beyond everyone here is that yes, most prayers ARE answered.
It's just that, sometimes, the answer is No.
I would like to see those statistics Suzy.
The Bible does give guidelines for payer in terms of not asking according to your lust or things that would cause you to sin etc.
My guess is many, many people ask for things they simply should not. In fact, I bet a great majority only pray to get things, again, only focusing on your own wants is probably not good as well.
There are also things that on the surface seem just fine, but would end up harming us that we get turned down for.
Therefore, I think saying most prayers are answered is a wild guess especially for people who don't know scripture, and there seems to be a lot of them like yourself.
