A prayer can be one of the most effective and powerful activities we can do to get us out of troubles, heal our sickness and pain, ask for forgiveness, request for guidance and protection, achieve our life’s goals and wishes, or simply give our thanks to the Lord.
However, not all prayers are the same. Not all that we ask or request from God will be given to us. He may hear all our prayers. He may answer all of them. But God doesn’t always give an answer that’s perfectly what we want to hear or see.
Perhaps, you are praying every night and day. Maybe you are always sharing prayers on social media to make them louder and more widespread. But despite your efforts, it seems that God still doesn’t hear your prayers. So what’s the problem?

Bottom Line
Remember that God doesn’t ignore us. He always listens to us. He always hears our prayers though we are sinners. He always gives us answers. However, His answer may not always be a Yes, it could also be a No. He may not also provide us an answer today but it could be tomorrow or some other day. But one thing is for sure… though God will give you an answer that you do not expect, that answer is the best answer, and He will give it at the perfect place and at the perfect time.
Therefore, be kind, honest, patient, righteous, humble, and thankful, and always pray faithfully with love from your heart and according to His will.
Always keep in mind and in your heart the list above.

My Father & my Holy King,
I am a simple man with complex thoughts. I place my Thanksgiving and my petitions at the foot of Your throne, as I dare not approach You any closer. My son has been kidnapped, coerced, and stolen away. You gave us both a miracle of adoption. Now, he is gone. I do not understand how Your double miracle was stolen away, but Thanks be to God. I do not understand how our hope in the God of Miracles and adoptions (referring to Fathering the Fatherless, O’ Lord) could be killed, but Thanksgiving to my Lord despite it. I do not understand how Your gift of a family, to a man called by Your Name, and Your Promise of Adoption was destroyed….but, praise the Name of Jesus.– Father, search my heart. I am not perfect. Though, search my intent…find my intent to honor Your ways. My son has been taken. I shall petition You and with thanks until You give him back and honor Your promise of Adoption, though he was already adopted. I was stabbed in the back; my heart was ripped out. I thank God Almighty every day and night, even in my tossing and turning. I petition every day and night for his return. How long O’ Lord….must I be burdened with the pain of a stolen son? How long must I give sincere Thanksgiving, while my son is separate from me? I wait.–I have been apologized to by one involved, yes, Thank You Jesus! I have given counsel to lead to the Lord to a perpetrator, Thank You Jesus. But, where is my son. You know what the consequence is for a father separated from his children. I plead the blood of the Lamb, Yeshua Adonai! Yes, I plead the Blood of Jesus. My Jesus, You are our Mediator, who Job asked for. You have one hand on my shoulder and the other hand on the shoulder of the Father. Oh God, my Father & my King! Please be the Restorer of my family; Redeem my fathership and my son’s sonship; be the Reunifier of my Family. Thank you, Jesus! I pray for the salvation of the perpetrators. I pray Lord that they will hear Your voice and repent. I pray they will find Your salvation. I pray they will return my son. Glory to the Lamb of God. Praise be the name of Jesus! For your Namesake, my King, bring the fulfillment of Your promise. You are the Rock of my Salvation; and the Anchor which I cling. Blessed be the Rock of my Salvation. You give & You take away, Lord. Be the Giver of the return of my son. Thank you Jesus.- Lord, You say to pray for one another. So, I stand in agreement with my brothers and sisters in the Lord, who are leaving prayers here, too. I pray for Your ears to incline to their prayers. Hear us, God. Yes, not just me, but us. Your children and maybe even some who are just stepping out into the faith of the God who hears His people. Hear us, I’m King. We stand in agreement, in the Power of the spoken word; in the Power of Your blood; in the Power of the promises of Your written Word; in the Power in just the Name of Jesus; the Power of agreement; and the Power of Jesus! We lay all of our petitions/ requests at the feet of Your throne…at the foot of the throne of the God who hears His people. –In the mighty Name of Jesus, Amen.
That should read, “Hear us, my King’ not “I’m King. That is a typo. Though, I am a King, right? We are all King’s & Priests, Amen

Many people prayed for God to guide the judge to make a good decision on their behalf, but it didn’t happen. Please pray for God to send angels to watch over them during the time they are with him.
