I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen , it will be done for him. If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt , because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. And this is the confidence that we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. People have a hard time praying consistently, and even those who do pray regularly, often feel their prayers do not go any further than the ceiling.
Many people feel their prayers go unanswered.
I believe the problem is that many people do not know HOW to pray. There are plenty of Scripture passages, however, that tell us we will have what we ask, if we believe. But they're all answered in the Bible. I believe with all my heart that people do not receive what they ask for because they do not pray in faith. They don't really believe they'll get what they ask for.
