Hindrances To Prayer

"Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered." I Peter 3:7 NKJV

A hindrance is defined as "a thing that provides resistance, delay, or obstruction to something or someone." There's no prayer that God is not interested in hearing or answering, the problem most times is that our prayers are hindered, by the things we do!

And you'll find people blaming God for not answering their prayers, not knowing that they themselves are responsible. Like Isaiah 59:1-3 says, "Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; nor His ear heavy, that it cannot hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear. For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue has muttered perversity."

Find out those things that are hindering your prayers and your blessings. Believe me, there's so much that God is willing to do for you and to release to you, but He can't as long as there are hindrances in your life. Discover those things, ask the Holy Spirit to reveal them to you, and deal with them in order to receive all the desires of your heart.
