You ask why God does not answer your prayers. Could it be that there is some obstacle? For instance, if we misuse the gift of His forgiveness by not forgiving others, we block the way for further gifts of God. When God does not answer, ask God to show you what you might have done wrong. Ask Him to give you a truly repentant heart. Make every effort to put things right again. Then the way will be clear and your prayers can rise up to God.
