If we are not walking in the Way or we harbor enmity in our hearts toward our brother or we ask for things with the wrong motives (such as from selfish desires), then we can expect God not to answer our prayer because He does not hear (2 Chronicles 7:14; Deuteronomy 28:23; Psalm 66:18; James 4:3).
Kung hindi tayo lumalakad sa tamang daan at nagtatanim tayo ng galit sa ating mga puso laban sa ating kapatid o kung sinuman o humihingi tayo na may maling motibo (gaya ng makasariling hangarin), hindi natin maaasahan na tutugunin ng Diyos ang ating mga dalangin (2 Cronica 7:14; Deuteronomio 28:23; Awit 66:18; Santiago 4:3).
