My understanding is that praying should not substitute action. While a man is strong and healthy it is not necessary that he asks someone else to go get a cup of water for him. Nobody likes to be regarded as lazy or incapable by other humans, but they don't mind having the divine think that of them without even trying?

Before we speak about connecting to God or talking about prayers heard or not heard, perhaps we should consider ... who is asking/ praying?

If it is our ego ... meaning that aspect in us ... in most cases the dominant one ... which is seeking favours related to fear or desire oriented attachments, then the problem is this ...

Our true self ... at soul or spirit level is concerned with evolution spread across innumerable life spans, whereas the ego is concerned only about gain in the immediate future and that too about something fleeting, perishable, transient.

We may see that God or even us as the soul vs the imaginary, self created ego are not on the same page then ...

Which is why we need to review ... who is it that is asking the question?

It depends whether God is all knowing/seeing/powerful or not. An all knowing/seeing/powerful God would hear your prayers, but I couldn't say why they are not answered. I found more success myself in learning my spiritual power and making the universe shift for me rather than passively waiting. I think we are given a gift that we forget how to use. But I can't be sure, maybe I have just finally gotten a little luck in my life and I'm not making it happen at all. Maybe God is really all in control.

Either way.. some don't see God as all knowing/seeing/powerful, which would mean your prayers are not heard if that's true.
