I've been praying for loads recently, and none of it has come true.. When I started really believing in God he'd answer pretty much daily.. But then I stopped asking for a couple of years. Since I started asking again he hasn't bothered with one... I know you shouldn't share prayers but this one was easy. Can you make the bin men a bit queiter? Is it me?

You may not feel God's existence but if you will just strengthen your belief in him, you won't notice everything will go in your place. It is just, sometimes maybe God wants us not to ask but wait. Or when you try to pray and worship him, you've got to lessen the times that you ask for something but give thanks for everything that he had given u and asks for a blessing for others too.
there's a great article about prayer on jw.org
it helps you to understand how God answers them, when and what prayers are acceptable to him. please visit the site and tap bible questions answered, there you will find the heading PRAYER, you will then find 6 articles addressing prayers.
Of course God answers prayers but we don't know how God answers prayers. When we pray, and the idea is not right, then God says, ‘No’. If we pray but if the time is not right, God says, ‘Slow’. If we pray but if we are not ready,then God says, ‘Grow,’ but when we pray and when everything is ready then God says, ‘Go.’ God doesn't stop our prayers from being answered but God has also created the universal law of Action and Reaction, the Law of Karma. This law states that if you plant mangoes , you can't get apples, therefore, however you may pray, if your deeds are otherwise, your deeds will bear the fruit that you deserve. Prayer is another deed, it is another act and it will bear a fruit, you must keep on praying, keep on praying knowing that God is not playing hard. God wants us to love him, to seek him, and thus all our prayers will be answered if we do so.
Yeah I understand that, but I haven't asked him for ages. And to be honest, the bin men are getting louder. Its like he's mad at me for something. I don't know what I've done..
I heard that if you leave an egg on top of your fridge at night this is a way of suggesting you want to make peace with God, have you ever tried this? I'm running out of ideas.
