Does God Answer Prayers?

children are dying, mothers are crying, fathers are in despair many are wondering does God answer prayers? sexual immorality, global terrorism, cops too quick to kill brothers on the down low, politicians on the make, C.E.O.s too eager to steal if you go back to the very beginning to Eden, the place of original sinning where mankind then became fully aware that a higher power has placed us here when humankind came to finally comprehend that God the Creator is our eternal friend He gave us His love, freewill and sound minds He told us to love one another and to each other be kind He gave us instructions on how to live life right the Bible, so full of wisdom, truth and light yet when bad things happen or when people become ill why does the world think that it was God's will? we hurt each other, we hate each other and inflict upon ourselves great harm we slander each other, we shoot at each other and put toxic drugs into our own arms yet many people have the nerve to say this is not the life they deserve He gave us life and sent His Son to offer us salvation yet we keep getting ourselves into precarious situations we need to open our minds and hearts to simply see that this isn't what God had in mind when He determined our destinies does God answer prayers? does He hear what we say? does God answer prayers, or has He forgotten us today? I can't answer that question nor can I even explain but I have a question for you, does God even know your name? God is not a convenient device like that tire you keep as a spare so don't call on Him to service you like a stud or brood mare if it's based on how you live your life and your behavior why should God grant you a blessing, mercy or favor? what have you done to honor Him or to help your fellow man? what have you done to add to His story or follow His life living plan? I can't speak for God but I feel deep in my heart that God does answer prayers and He hears our words God answers prayers and we each get what we deserve it's not about what we want and desire it's about God giving us what we need and require so first seek the Kingdom that is Jesus Christ then let God have complete control of your life lean not towards your own understanding abide by the things God is commanding and the next time you call on God remember to give Him thanks let your words be from the heart, just be honest and frank acknowledge Him, praise Him and show Him that you care for God is of forgiveness and He does answer prayers
