I keep praying to God; why isn't he answering me?

Whatever your image of God may be, you know He isn’t deaf to our pleas. Even if you do not feel as though he is answering you the way you would like, the act of talking to Him is in itself beneficial – and His answer to our prayer/request does not come as a “human” voice.  Prayers are not only about requests, especially earthly wants, like physical needs or changes in our social status. Prayers are about connecting, reconnecting with His plan for us. It has been said that there is only one prayer: “Thy will be done.” What may seem like no answer to your problem could actually be the answer you need. Of course, all this is a mystery, but keep praying and feel in your soul what course of direction or action is “God’s will.” You might also seek the guidance of someone in your religion whose calling is to help others.
