Prayer Problems

The Problem of Wrong Relationships

With God: "If I regard iniquity in my heart the Lord will not hear me." (Psalm 66:18)

With family: "Likewise, you husbands, dwell with them (wives) with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered." (1 Peter 3:7)

The Problem of Pride: "There they will cry out, but He does not answer, because of the pride of evil men. Surely God will not listen to empty talk, nor will the Almighty regard it." (Job 35:12,13)

The Problem of Hypocrisy: "And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of streets, that they may be seen by men." (Matthew 6:5)

The Problem of Wrong Motives: "You ask and you do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures." (James 4:3

The Problem of Lack of Forgiveness: "Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, ten come and offer your gift." (Matthew 5:23,24)

The Problem of Lack of Compassion: "Whoever shuts his ears to the cry of the poor will also cry himself and will not be heard. (Proverbs 21:13) "…This is the fast that I have chosen…share your bread with the hungry, and bring to your house the poor who are cast out; when you see the naked cover him…Then you shall call and the Lord will answer." (Isaiah 58:6,7,9)

The Problem of Failing to Forgive: "Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, ten come and offer your gift." (Matthew 5:23,24)
