Romans 3:4...  Let God be true, and every man a liar...!

Prayer is asking and receiving from God.

Proverbs 28:9   He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.

~ Don't turn away from the bible...!   God will not hear your prayers!

Do you humble yourself...?   When you have humility, the bible says God gives you grace.   God resists the proud.

The biggest reason for unanswered prayer:  NOT PRAYING...!

Hebrews 11:6...But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

We must repent:   Not repenting = Unanswered prayer

We have to meet some conditions for God to hear our prayer and heal our land...
1. Come in Humility
2. Pray
3. Seek HIM
4. Repent

Wrong Motives...?    James 4:3 KJV Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.  James 4:3 NIV When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.

James 1:5-6... If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
