Hindrance to prayer

Hello beautiful people hope all is doing fine @nuahfabian I bring to you some of the things that hinder our prayers from answering ,my previous post which I wrote about the power of prayers where I define prayers as the means to talk to God and to bring his presence via prayers giving his words back to him ,if our life doesn't reflect what the word is saying that means we are working contrary to the word of God which is sin ,it hinders prayers from working.

Proverbs 28:9 if you do not obey the law of God will your prayers too hateful to hear

Psalm 66:18 if I had ignored my sin the the lord would not have listened to me if our conscience are clear and we pay attention to our way of life , working in the ways of God our prayers will be effective

1john 3 :21-22 and so my dear friend if our conscience doesn't condemned us we have courage in God presence,we receive from him what ever we ask because we obey his command and do what please him

Unforgiveness keeping guages , bitterness,grid ,hatred against anyone is a hindrance to God prayer.
Mark 11:25:26 an when you stand and pray forgive anything you may have against anyone so that your father in heaven will forgive the wrong you have done if you do not forgive others your father in heaven will not forgive the wrong you have don

1peter 3:7 in the same way your husband must live with your wife with the proper understanding that they are the weaker sex treat them with respect because they also will receive together with with you Gods gift life this so that nothing will Interfere with your prayers

The motives of our prayers if our motive in praying to God are bad it will hindrance our prayers

James 4:3 those who offer prayers to God with wrong motives , intention Will not receive anything from God.

And when you ask ,you don't receive it because your motives are bad you ask for things to use for your own pleasure
God despise hypocrite he knows the heart of men he knows our desire that is why

Jeremiah 29:11 say I know the thought I have towards you the thought of peace and not of evil to and expected end

Thanks all for reading

Greetings, even when you use block quotes, you still need to include the source of that block quotes. Just putting a block quote without source is considered plagiarized content 😀. Equally endeavor to include pictures in your write up as they call the attention of the reader.
