prayers are answered. they just take a long time. and some prayers cant be answered. like if you pray you could the president, or that backstabbing friend of yours would die, god isnt gonna answer these kind of prayers. but tings like i hope i do good in my play, or i hope i get the part, hell answer those. that doesnt necessarily mean they'll come true, it means that he'll answer them, that could be you dont get the part cuz you werent meant to, there's bigger and better things out there for you. and another thing, its so stupid when people think they didnt do good in their dance because they forgot to pray for it, but your always praying. whether your kneeling in church head bowed and hands clasped, or your just standing their 5 seconds before you do something and you say god, please let me do good, same thing.
