What Hinders Prayer?: 1. Can Our Prayers Be Hindered?

So we know God as a good and kind Father who loves us, sent His only son to die for us and answers prayers. Often though we find prayers aren’t being answered, sometimes it may be for reasons we have looked at before such as we are not praying the will of God or perhaps God has answered our prayer but not in the way we want or expect Him to. Or even that the answer is on its way but it may not be the right time. These are the things that only God knows and that in His divine wisdom He allows us to go through in order to build character and develop a faith beyond the answers we receive but based on His good and generous character.

So can our prayer be hindered – I believe that the Bible tells us a number of ways that they can be and over the next few weeks we’ll look at how!
