Why Do My Prayers Feel Unanswered
Dec 25, 2025

Understanding Tefillah, closeness to Hashem, and the power of prayer Description: Why does it sometimes feel like our prayers are not being answered? In this Torah class, we explore a question many people struggle with throughout their lives. We daven again and again, yet the response we hope for does not always come. This episode explains that Hashem is always listening, even when the answer is no. Just like a parent who listens to a child but refuses something that is not good for them, Hashem answers every prayer in the way that is best for us. Prayer is never ignored and never wasted. We also explore the deeper meaning of tefillah through the concept of a wick with intertwined strands, showing how prayer connects and binds us closer to Hashem each time we daven. Every word spoken creates an impact, whether we see the result immediately or later in life. The class concludes with a powerful story involving the Chazon Ish, highlighting the strength of prayer, faith, and seeking proper guidance during moments of uncertainty. This Torah class is brought to you by Torah Anytime. If you would like your name mentioned this year for blessing, please email: [email protected]
