    Although we are taught to pray in a certain way, our prayers are prayers if we direct them to God in any language and with any words we feel are correct. The text of the prayers and the manner we are taught to stand and speak are important to help us be in the ideal frame of mind for prayer and express the important desires. But any heartfelt prayer is a prayer.

    From our point of view, it seems like some prayers are answered and some are not. But it is not simple to truly distinguish, since if a prayer seems to go unanswered, it may actually be God saying that the answer is “No.”
