A social media personality @Ajebodanny recently sparked discussion with a bold statement: “I don’t pray because God doesn’t answer prayers.”
Such statements reflect a common struggle many face when prayers seem unanswered, especially during challenging times. While it’s natural to feel disheartened, faith traditions often encourage persistence and patience, even when results aren’t immediate. For believers, prayer is not only about receiving but also about connection, reflection, and inner peace. While everyone’s spiritual journey is unique, dismissing prayer entirely overlooks the comfort and resilience it can provide to those who find meaning in it. Open discussions around faith and doubt can be valuable, fostering understanding and empathy across different perspectives.
