There are things to consider
why we don't receive what we prayed for or why we are not granted what we wished for.
First,
we can readily say that it is because we don't deserve it and we deserve something else, it maybe something better or worse. It all depends on the kind of person that we all are. If we are good people, then we will be given with good things. But if we are not, then as expected, God will never give us what we prayed for. Then we can also say that we don't receive it because our motives are selfish or evil, and they only concern us and not for the many. Our prayers and wishes shouldn't just be for our own good but for the good of our families, friends, etc. There are times we feel frustrated and also disappointed because we feel God never listens. But we have to keep in mind that we don't receive it because it's not the right time for us to have it yet and all we have to do is believe in God's time, the time set by God to be the right time to receive it already. There's nothing we can do about it and the only thing left for us to do is to be patient in waiting for that time because it will come sooner than we expected. It also depends so much on what we pray for. If we pray for money, then we have to show God that we have the kind of hearts to share with those who are in need. He examines our whole being every time and when He finds out that what we have inside are only selfishness and greed, then He will not give it no matter how many times we ask for it. Every time we do good, we please God and the good that we do will be done to us in return. And that's good karma, God's reward for doing good. The prayers of a good man go up to the clouds and go beyond space and ending in Heaven where God listens. And whatever he asks for will be granted in less time. But those coming from sinners will take a long time to be answered for God is slow to respond to their prayers or not respond at all for their motives are always evil. They never pray for the good of others but only for themselves. And their prayers are all about the money, the wealth, the influence and the power to control people's lives and especially oppression of the poor. One thing that is always true is our prayers concerning material things are not the kind of prayers God listens to and grants for they will make us forget Him or totally abandon Him. The best prayer to ask for should be Wisdom and Enlightenment for these two valuable things are the greatest that we can have in this life and no other thing can equal their worth. They will become the source of all the other good things in this world. That's why when King Solomon was granted the Wisdom he asked for, he was also given all the riches and wealth that no one ever had or will ever have again. Money, riches or wealth never amount to anything when compared to Wisdom and Enlightenment. Lastly, every time we pray for something, we have to do it with humble hearts so that God will listen. We have to pray for the good of others and all our intentions should be good. And if possible, we should take our time of prayer inside the church and not just in the convenience of our houses because going to church is a kind of sacrifice that pleases God. Do you know the best or the ideal time to go to church? It's first thing in the morning when you wake up before the sun rises. You take a bath and wear decent clothing to show your reverence or deep respect. Don't eat or drink anything yet when you go to church. Let the Holy Eucharist or the Communion be the first thing to enter your mouth and into your stomach.
