You can't lie to the lord, the lord sees everything. (22)

Your energy is scattered is 1 of biggest prayer issues Friend, combine your emotions, feelings and thoughts to make a potent energy force for asking or making things happen..
Get it right things become effortless and happen with ease, it can be a bit unsettling the ease at how things happen when you get it right..

I understand
But that (obviously) doesn't work.
Surrender to his will

Good luck to you

Help me understand why my prayers are not being answer?[/quote

In my life, prayers are answered, I hardly ask for anything for myself but for my family and friends I most def do each night and each morning.
Every morning I give thanks, then I watch a small segment of a video clip that I take from the first one in line on youtube, I am certain it is meant for me to glean something of it, I watch what is called " Above Inspiration " it is a gathering of people who preach to people on the bible.
Just because your prayers don't come when you want or how you want doesn't mean you are not being listened to after all, it is not your time they work on but the great goods time and if you don't get what you asked for then it was not meant to be, be patient, be steady and be strong in your resolve.

I meant a "deity" (a god/guide/guardian angel...etc).
If asking anyone, another cannot intervene.

In order to manifest, one must be able to visualise what it is one wants and put positive thoughts into it >>>>>the law of attraction.

I agree…..yes, you can’t lie to the Lord. The Lord is powerful, He sees everything you do and hears everything you say. You can’t hide anything from Him.
