Why Your Prayers are not answered.

Greetings. Are you having a hard time getting your prayers answered? You are not alone. We have all been there. Let's look at the verse below--

Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. (Phil 4:11)

The Apostle Paul was writing this letter from jail. He could have complained, but he did not. He said that he was a prisoner of the Lord. (Eph 4:1) He refused to allow the circumstances to dictate his level of Joy.  He had control of his mind, will, and emotions. 

He captured his thoughts and arrested them, conforming them to the obedience of the Lord! He refused to complain because he trusted in the Lord. He learned the secret of being content. Let's learn from Paul's example.

Complaining will get you nowhere. It will open the door to severe consequences. When you pray, what are your motives? Will it be used for the glory of the Lord or for yourself? Many of our prayers are not answered because our motives are not right. (James 4:3)
