Question: In John 11:42 it says God always hears you, but in the verse, you showed me in “Should we pray for Satan’s salvation?” it says that God said that if people were to pray for the extreme idolaters then He would not hear their cries out to him? Answer: “Then they took away the…

Question: One thing I am noticing when I am praying is that I pray for non-believers to somehow find Jesus and God. Is it wrong to pray for them? Answer: Praying that nonbelievers might hear the gospel is a wonderful prayer. Paul offered similar prayers, “Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel…

Question: This is a question about prayer. Is it bad to keep on praying the same prayer all over again? It could be from desperation, or it can be another reason. For example, you have a problem or worry you share with the Lord and you think that you are not getting any answers. Does…

Question: Hi! Currently, I am trying to get a motorbike license. I have prayed very hard and went for the test, but I failed three times. I feel so demoralized. All my friends, who are non-Christians, had passed but I couldn’t. I asked God why at times. And I have even doubted Him, which was…

Question: Hi, I attend a couple of churches of Christ, both of which practice group prayer. If we are so concerned with serving God strictly with biblical authority (e.g. no music in worship, etc.) then surely there must be some explicit mention of group prayer in the New Testament. Could you please point this out…

Question: I have a question for you: I was reading an article regarding prayer and it stated how we should look for our answers to our prayers. What I don’t get or understand is how do we know when it has been answered? Of course, if it’s in the affirmative, we assume it was God.…

Question: I have a couple of questions regarding my prayer life that are bothering me.  I’ve searched for the answers to these myself, but the only places I’ve found them addressed is from the Catholic church, and I’d rather hear an opinion from a member of the church of Christ. First Question or Concern: When…

Question: If what you say is true, then why bother praying at all? You are more or less saying that God will do whatever He wants to do no matter what you pray for. If you are right, then please explain. Answer: I don’t know which page you are referring to. I suspect you either…

Question: What should you do if you have been baptized and trying to live the Christian life, but your prayer life is not as it should be? You go for weeks without praying and asking God to forgive your sins. Then when you do pray for forgiveness, you never feel like you’ve been forgiven because…

Question: I am writing, after reading your article, wondering your understanding of the Scriptures that point to God willing not to hear because of sins or God not hearing a sinner’s prayer, or even yet, God hears open to the prayers of the righteous? From those Scriptures I arrive at the following conclusion: God is aware…

Question: Some of my friends, during the holidays, are going to colleges and praying in front of the colleges. Is there any use in doing this? Answer: “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that…

Question: When I try to pray, I cannot always pay full attention. My mind wanders many times. I am cautious about my prayers, but I still drift away in my thoughts. Answer: When you read through the prayers recorded for us in the Bible, what becomes noticeable is that most of them are short and…

Question: How can I best explain to someone about praying God’s will? Her sister is deathly ill and she just keeps praying for the sister to be cured of cancer. I told her she should be praying God’s will, not her own. She doesn’t understand and I am not sure how to explain it. She…
