A big reason prayers don't seem to get answered for a lot of people is a lot of people seem to forget what prayer is. Prayer is us laying down our burdens and our life, and taking Jesus's purposes and Jesus's life, and doing God's will. and fulfilling His purpose for His Glory. We die with Christ on the cross we are dead and buried with Him as we are submerged under the waterin baptism we are resurrection with Jesus when we come up out of the water. We come back alive in Jesus, Covered in Him for Him living His life inside of Him and when God looks at us he sees Jesus
Matthew 16:24-26 AMPC
[24] Then Jesus said to His disciples, If anyone desires to be My disciple, let him deny himself [disregard, lose sight of, and forget himself and his own interests] and take up his cross and follow Me [cleave steadfastly to Me, conform wholly to My example in living and, if need be, in dying, also]. [25] For whoever is bent on saving his [temporal] life [his comfort and security here] shall lose it [eternal life]; and whoever loses his life [his comfort and security here] for My sake shall find it [life everlasting]. [26] For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life [his blessed life in the kingdom of God]? Or what would a man give as an exchange for his [blessed] life [in the kingdom of God]?
