Sins That Hinder Our Prayers

The Bible reveals that sin in a believer's life will hinder their prayers to God. Psalm 66:18 reads, "If I regard iniquity (sin) in my heart, the Lord will not hear me." The Bible also reveals several specific sins that can hinder prayer.

A Broken Relationship and an Unforgiving Spirit can keep your prayers from being heard by God. For example, husbands and wives must work out any problems, disagreements, etc. These things can hinder the unity of a marriage and also hinder their prayers to God.

Peter writes; "Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers." (I Peter 3:7)

Question: Have you had a major fight or disagreement with your spouse recently? Get it settled! Forgive! Don't allow your marriage to suffer any longer. Not only will it help your marriage, but it can stop your prayers from being unanswered.

Blessings!
