Pastor John K. Jenkins Sr.

While God hears every prayer, there are biblical reasons why some prayers remain unanswered. Unanswered prayer is often connected not to God’s unwillingness to bless us, but to conditions within our own hearts and lives. God is concerned with the posture, pattern, condition, and direction of our hearts. Before seeking God’s hand, believers must first examine their relationship with Him and remove anything that hinders fellowship.
