If Jesus Christ promises to answer prayer yet fails most of the time is His word reliable?

[/quote] If God has given you wisdom then answer me this: Hebrews 11 speaks of the Might men/women of Faith but the verse that troubles me the most is Hebrews 11:39 "These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised" ... If they were promised something yet never got it then Did not God LIE somewhere along the line? read it again A promise was made yet never fullfilled ... is this not considered a lie from the one whom made the promise? [/quote] I'm not the one who posted above you, but from my experience I can say I understand deeply SOME of the bible, I sort of understand other parts, my husband totally gets other parts. The bible is the entire history of the relationship between God and mankind, and deeply layered with many, many lessons. We cannot take one section or verse and expect it to answer a very specific question. The answers lie throughout it, that is why we are encouraged to continually read the word of God, to continually have more revealed to us. Do you read the word regularly, pray over it, and make your needs known then thank in faith? Then walk on with living your life for HIM? [/quote] I hate to say this but I grew weary reading the Bible and applying to my life only to have God disappoint me time and time again. At one time in my life I was on fire for God then he by his lack of response and failures to answer prayer my fire smoldered to a bearly light ember ... I am sooooo disapointed with God & Jesus. I feel he has failed me and my family on so many levels I get sick to my stomach. [/quote]
Original Message
I mean all through the Bible Jesus makes promises after promise to his followers yet if most Christians are honest to themselves their prayers land on deaf ears! A majority of the time pray is not answered ... Yet Jesus Says ask me for anything and I will do it. Are these just LIES? Does Jesus keep his word ... Many promises in the Bible ... but so far in my Christian walk it has just been broken promises and shattered dreams. So much for Jesus being faithful to his own words.
