Why prayers are sometimes unanswered?

[edoy]

depende man pud na kung unsa ang imong pag-ampo sama sa pag-ampo sa Ginoo nga makada-ug ka sa swertres or maka-daug ka sa buwangan.....dili musugot si Lord nga makadaug ka sa sugal kay bad na.....

All prayers had been answered. but not all is delivered the way you expected to happen.

because nobody's answering it...

Prayer is a form of surrender. To some it is an act of hope. others would say its the acceptance or realization that one is but only human. But prayers are answered not by god, instead it is answered o by ourselves. you may ask huh? or how come?
Try to think about it... maybe your answers are already present its just that you are to narrow sited to see. or too literal to understand.

There are tons of things we cannot do or cannot control thats why we need someone powerful enough to intervene. One example is Coincidence - Can we control it? Nope...

yes absolutes are derived from hypothesis, theories and others...
...

interesting, by absolute i mean everything there is within and beyond..seen and unseen, revealed and hidden.
so you answered YES, can you give me the EXACT number of stars are there both in the known and unknown universe?
or Can you tell me what CAUSED the first quark and became the universe?or how life bagan?

u dont pray wen u get sick u take paracetamols...

Of course, but that doesn't rule out prayer and anything divine either.does it?
Medicines are discovered and formulated but NOT created by Science..
Thanks to natural resources and human Intelligence..and most of all thanks to Whoever or Whatever laid things over...
as if everything was just meant to be...it's kinda odd though, judging from "random selection" the results are extremely specific...hehehe
isn't that a contradiction?

unless you can answer where everything(including Nature and Intelligence) came from... i suggest to not conclude about absolutes.
we don't even know what's there when we breathe our last, or worse we don't even know when we'll do so..
yet we know absolutes...

if the absolutes you speak of is the Progress and conclusion within the Scientific research...well in a way, i mean they are as of now..but not quite, 'cause we both know that the current accepted Scientific theory can be improved or even nullify when a new and much stronger theory
will be discovered and formed.

we're taking about Prayers bro, there is no absolute Answer whether someone really hears our prayers.

Because of the planetary alignment of of the solar system to the horsehead nebula in the orion constellation.

Seriously, if by prayers you mean ones given to gods, there is nothing supernatural nor divine about it. The same would happen no matter to who or to what your pray to. Everything happens for a reason, and if your prayer was answered it is because of a series of events that led to it, not because of divine intervention. Things that happen are the consequences of your actions. For example, you would pray that you win the lottery, but you never buy a ticket, would you still win?

Also, faith, no matter to which god or even to yourself, is a big factor. Positive thinking helps create a favorable situation towards getting what you prayed for. It gives you the confidence to act, thus getting results.
