Why God Isn't Listening

Tim Challies (on his excellent blog) recently cataloged six reasons from Scripture that, perhaps, God is not listening to your prayers. I especially appreciated this post because it's simply textual. No speculation. No conjecture. No pop-prayer-movement ideas. Scripture pure and simple.

Here they are:

1. Praying with selfish motives - James 4:3
2. Turning away from Scripture - Proverbs 28:9
3. Praying with an unforgiving heart - Mark 11:25
4. Ongoing family discord - 1 Peter 3:7
5. Unconfessed sin - Psalm 66:18
6. Praying with doubt - James 1:5-7
