I believe that we are like children, our wishes will be granted if they:
A are best for us, or
B provide a lesson.

I want to answer this by breaking down your question;

yes I do believe in prayers, and my faith is strong, I do not question it.

You said:
If yes..then how strong ur faith is on this that if u pray for something , you will surely got it..its just the matter between you and God that how much believe and trust you have on God that whenever & whatever u demand from God ,he will grant u

My answer:

If I pray for something, then I have to believe, ands trust that God will grant me what I need, but will do so in his own time, not mines.

How we percieved the answer from God is an individual experience.

Not all answers from God have to have a visible, touchable response...if we listen, Gods answers can come to us, through ideas, a friends words of wisdom or even a stranger.

Not everything has to be in a material, or monetary value.

God will help you if you help yourself...you take steps towards something, and he will get you there.

Personal example, I needed oil for my home two months ago, when my daugther was very sick, I had not been to work, I had to take care of her.

I needed $350 dollars, for oil, just to make it through for at least 3 weeks of heat.
I called many agencys that help with utilities, non had funding.

On the last day, with no oil in my home, I made on last phone call...a stranger paid the oil company $350 dollars, so that my daughter would have a warm home, until I got working again.

So you see, I prayed for help, and days passed, and I did not get cash in my hands, but the compassion of a stranger, that heard of my situation, and he did something about it.

That is a miracle, and it happened on the last day, when all the oil was gone.

I was able to go back to work, and get everything in order...but the stranger remained anonymous, I could not find him to repay him.

So I made a $350 donation, to women in need...

God grants prayers, we just have to listen, and pay attention, or else, we will just miss it, and lose faith.

we can not demand from God..what we can do is only raise our hands for pray or request and yes i agree wid lady who said, dis is God's Will that when our prayers come true..The only need is to have fully faith tht he is always listening us and will reward us wid his blessings..angel

This is a matter of your Faith. In mine God listens to all prayers, but does not instantly act on any. You may ask for help, and God may feel that you need to persevere, therefor not granting your request. Though we learn thru our pain, for that is where most wisdom is obtained. In my life many times I have asked for something specific, and have recived no answer, only to look back and see if he had given me what I had asked I would not have learned a valuable lesson. So in a sense he answered by not changing the course. Life is about suffering, and learning, and if God intervened we would not continue to grow. Also again my faith, but you cannot demand anything from God as he will do as he see fit. God Bless. Dr.

I believe in prayers...

I remember when I was pregnant with my youngest son my husbands grandmother everytime she talked to me would say, "I am praying for a painless labor for you". I had it pretty bad with my first two children...lol When it came time to deliver him I swear I hardly even felt a thing!

I think the power of prayer is for real. I know I had many people praying for me when I had my last surgery. I also think it helped.

I'm an Atheist, but if prayer helps someone feel better or stronger, I say go for it. Just don't depend on it. Remember that you have to help yourself most of the time.
