A few issues in my life happened recently and it has brought me closer to God through prayer, doing my quiet time and most importantly, by placing God first in my everyday routine.
Whenever we face problems or struggles in life, first we need to confess our sins, then give it all to God and He will lift up your burdens if you continue to trust in Him and obey His commands. God does not answer prayers immediately after we pray. When we pratice patience, exercise faith and wait upon Him, He hears our prayers if our hearts are right with Him and the willingness to obey with our actions. As the scripture says, " We can be confident that he wil listen to us whenever we ask him for anything in line with his will." (1 John 5:14). God answered my prayer after 2 months of consistent and persistent prayer.
Hannah prayed for a child and the Lord granted her what she asked. (1 Samuel 1:17) God answers every prayer in His way and in His time. Do not give up! Continue to pray and have faith in Him!!!
Sometimes, we find that God answers prayer by giving us not what we ask for but something better. "Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. Each time he said, my power works best in your weakness." (2 Corinthians 12:8-9)
Promise from God: 1 Peter 3:12-The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right and his ears are open to their prayers.

Going through a season of prayers now!, seeking a personal revival experience within me, and also asking God in prayers for certain concrete material blessings to happen in my life now. Found myself on this site in my search to understand more about prayers and to draw from peoples experiences as i learn more about prayers. One thing is sure i have gotten some useful informations to pounder on, and i will be back on this site to share my story concerning my praying season in due time.
I really like this video. In it the speaker talks about how the prayer was seemingly answered wrong but in fact lead to the right thing. Give it a watch. http://www.mormonchannel.org/video/mormon-messages?v=2714780496001
