Just one I ask, "Lord, in case you do not want to cure me, free me from dependence on drugs," That's it. But, already many years I prayed, God answered my prayers. Maybe prayer is not granted because of sin. I realized, I have multitude of sins. But who among those of us who did not sin. If so, what's the point I was praying. After all, my prayers are not heard. "

Unfortunately, all sure to review the concept of prayer. You can view prayer as a magic spell to control the universe. God is not seen as a supernatural force that must be subject to your ability. Your prayers and God's like Aladdin's lamp to Jin. When you pray, God had to come out to kneel in front of you, "the Lord will say sir." Therefore, when the Lord will not satisfy you, you are angry with him. You are disappointed and you immediately get rid of Aladdin's Lamp. "

Another lover of God, as Moses fought and prayed for the downfall of Pharaoh. "There are forty-year time span between the beginning of the prayer of Moses as the sinking of the Pharaoh," said Imam Ja'far.

He said to the angels, 'fulfill the purposes of my servant, but not immediately, because I love to hear moaning.
