TOPIC: WHAT FACILITATES ANSWERS TO PRAYERS - PT 2

Heb 12:15 "Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled."

One of the primary reasons why prayers are unanswered is
because of bitterness of the heart. No answers because they allow their relationships with people to affect their relationship with God. "Looking diligently...lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled." (Heb 12:15) Bitterness is like a poison, it eats one alive. You can't have bitterness and unforgiveness in your heart and have your prayers answered.

Unforgiveness is a prayer buster. It is applicable to families too. Many don’t have their prayers answered because of problems in their relationships. One of the easiest places to have resentment built up is in families. Family members hurt each other's feelings, husbands hurt wives, wives hurt husbands, parents hurt their children and children hurt their parents.

Bitterness and resentment are a common experience in family relationships. "Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel...that your prayers be not hindered" (1Pet 3:7). For those who're married, how you treat your spouse affects your prayer life. If your home is full of tension, your prayers will be ineffective.

So, if you want your prayers answered, have an honest relationship with God and a forgiving attitude toward other people!
