How to get your prayers answered-James 4:1-11

Like you, I have had many unanswered prayers over the years. The true answer to prayer is to have peace regarding the answer if it yes, no, wait awhile or something else.

Also, like you, my prayers for the mid-terms didn't turn out as I had hoped they would. So here we are.

No one will come to our church. I have thought about getting a bunch of cars to put out front on Sunday. People won't usually come unless there are several cars outside in the parking lot. I know this to be true. That would be a bit deceitful I believe to do that though.

I preach in homes, on the net and here in the newspaper. So I have a preaching ministry. Just not what I thought it would be.

How to have your prayers answered? Do what out text says and you will be in position to receive the answers you wish.

1. Stop fighting with people. v-1
2. Stop Lusting v-2
3. Ask v-2

4.Act like a Christian and not the world.v-4

5.Be humble v-6

6. Submit to all authority v-7

7.Draw close to God v-8

8. Grieve over your sin v-9
9. Live a clean life v-8
10. Stop cussing, badmouthing and gossiping.v-11 v-8

By the way, life happens and people die. Two more thoughts. Your concept of God needs to be formed from the Bible and faith needs to be mixed with your prayers.

To key is to pray. Have you prayed today?
