Prayer Answered Only for the Holy?

[Jason76]

I'd have to say "yes". However, holy isn't perfect, but only trying very hard. Anyway, it's amazing how many people think God cares about their prayer, when he doesn't. Now, I'm not saying that in a prideful way like a pharisee or something. Well, it's like this: "You have to show up to the job to get paid and get benefits.". Why would the Christian walk be different?

It works like this. God gives us faith when we pray to confirm that our prayer is in line with His eternal decree. If he withholds faith, it is because we ask amiss.
