How long does it take when you pray to get it answered?

[alice44]

Prayer can be answered immediately or over a long period of years.  The important thing is to remember that prayer is important and a good way to commune with God.  Answer or not!

I believe in prayer, I pray a lot and I pray for my family friends and even those of you on Fusion Cash who ask for prayers. I have gone through a difficult time with testing and I believe G answered them also some of my family whom I love very much have  have had paryers answered. For every prayer I also believe you must thank God for the answered prayers and also for those that did not get answered because God may have had other plans.

It all depends on god.

god answers prayer based on his timetable. He answers when he feels the need

God has a schedule?LOL!!

The bible says HE is the Alpha and Omega......NEVER had a beginning and will always be!!

BTW....HE is time

But if hes late 1 more time hes gonna hear about it from me!!

i don't pray so.....

[kewl4reals]

Well it depends on the pray. If I am praying for a way to get food, or help if I need it, my prayer is answer almost immediately. If I am ill it may take longer but my prayers are answered so I can do the necessary things. I pray constantly and always thank God and Jesus for what they do for me and my family and friends.

Sometimes  it takes  a very  long  time  to get  a response

Not all prayers are answered. And sometimes he does and we don't see it because we don't like his answer. Stay open minded!

  It takes as long as it takes. God is never late. He is always on time. It is us who sets the limits.

When we pray to God for something we have no idea how long it's gonna take. But he does listen and answer prayers. You can't sit around waiting for your help. Just pray ask God for whatever it is you need and then go on about your daily life. Pretty soon when you least expect it God will answer your pray. But here's another question for thought--Does God answer very bad, bad people. I mean like the ones who end up in jail?

God is the Universe, therefore the Universe hears all. If u ask, you shall receive. Even if it's not in prayer, he hears our every demand. So be careful what you say and put into the Universe. Never say you are broke or God Will grant your wish. Something to ponder about.

Sarah what did Jesus say to the evildoer dying next to him?He said,"You will be with me in paradise"

Jesus saw at that moment the evildoers heart and that he accepted him as Gods son and was sorry for his acts of wrong.Jesus forgave him as he represented his father dying on the torture stake for the ransom he was about to give the human race.

So in answer to your question,God sees the heart condition of us all.In this case the evildoer was repentant.If one isnt there will be NO forgivness.

God warned everyone NOT to look back as Sodom was being destroyed.Lots wife didnt listen.She longed for that sin still.She was turned into a pillar of salt as was warned.

Noah preached to an ungodly world God will make it rain 40 days and nights.Repent and be safe with Noah on the arc.The world laughed at him.You know the result.

I don't believe there is really a time limit or time frame its just when its truly needed.  Lot of people get mixed up about prayers.  Just because you want it and pray about it doesn't mean youll receive it but all things that are needed are always provided. At least thats how it has always gone for me.

[gaylasue]

God answers all prayers immediately.  We just don't understand the response sometimes when it isn't the way we want them answered.  God will answer "Yes", "No", or "Be patient, good things will come".
