My husband and I have been married for almost 21y I have asked so many people to pray for us almost our whole town is we even have people in 3 different states and this past week I got divorce papers servied. All I want was our marriage restored and to have it better then it was before. (it did not happen). Today is payday and I have -144.00 left after I pay all the bills. I have 2 kids at home, and he has almost 1000.00 after bills. Now tell me how prayer works?
 
I can't tell you how it works, but it does work. I hope you are familiar with God's Word in the Bible and seek its knowledge daily. People fool themselves into believing that when times get bad, they can just say a simple prayer for a few weeks and all will be well. God hears every prayer, and answers every prayer, although not always in the ways we expect Him to. I am sorry for your heartache and struggle. I know that God has allowed this for a reason, and I also know He will use this experience to grow your faith and bless your life. It is hard to see the hope and future when tears are falling from your eyes and your heart is broken. But it is there....scripture is true and Romans 8:28 says, " And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him," while Jeremiah 29:11 promises, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

There are things all of us must do in order to receive answers to our prayers - cast away bitterness, confess our sin, forgive others, seek with a humble, repentant heart, and believe that we have received what we ask for. I pray that God will remove this sense of hopelessness from your life and open your spiritual eyes to the ways in which He is blessing you. May He walk with you through this trial and strengthen you in all ways.
 
You start praying for yourself and your family first. Pray does work for those who believe. You must believe. All through the Bible God healed no one without faith. You must know that it works. God does not move when you want him to. He moves when the timing is right. He is not a magician he is Lord. Trust him and you will see the difference. Get into your Bible and find peace.
 
From Adrian Rogers

If you are going through some thing and God does not deliver you remember he did not deliver James. Even if you don't understand remember GOD is working.

Here are 6 things to remember

1 God is always working

2 Don't demand to understand

3 remember the resource of prayer

4 Put you eyes upon GOD and rest in his love

5 Expect God's power to move in his own time and in his way

6 With out faith it is Impossible to please GOD
 
Dear Lord Jesus~

Please bring hope and joy back into this heart. Bless this woman with Your love. May she know that even if she was served with divorce papers, there can still be a reconciliation. Nothing is impossible with you Dear Saviour. I pray for a blessing on her mind and life now. Let her know she is not alone. May she show her children how to continue in faith even when it looks dark. (you are blessed to have the 2 children.)

"...love overlooks insults.; Prbs 10:12

"God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him." l Jn 4:16
 
Yes, Prayer Works, when you truly believe in the Lord. If you have doubts, they must be replaced with Complete Faith and Trust and Belief in the Good Lord. Lord, I agree with these prayers. I know the Lord answers prayers, he sometimes doesn't answer them the way you think he should, but The Lord Knows what is best. Don't Question the Lord, Believe without a doubt, rely on him Alone, He answers your prayers when the time is right. There is a silver lining in every cloud. But First you Must Believe, Lord, I pray this guest will Trust and Believe in your Word Lord, and surrender all to you, for we can not do anything without you Lord, I Praise Your Name for this guest coming Lord, and I Pray for their Belief and salvation, In Jesus Name Amen

It's understandable to feel frustrated when things don't go as planned, but it's important to remember that prayer and worship are about building a relationship with God, not just getting what we want. Jesus cares deeply about all aspects of our lives, including our jobs and relationships...

why pray or believe in a god who doesn't answer prayers? I've prayed for too long. Believed. Hoped. Trusted. I can't remember the last time any of my prayers were answered. I have nobody to turn to in my life that I can trust. Posting prayers on here do nothing. We get the same 2 or 3 bots...

That was a priceless masterpiece. I might need to locate the solution. I'm trying to feel my way around using this. It's all good but what I have is a refusal opposite to the job.
