Bible Question:  Is there a trick here? I have sought out so much in His name but nothing came. Yet it is said about 8 times in John alone. Where is the trick to this?

Bible Answer:  flimreviews,

Prayer is not a form of magical incantation that makes God our servant or Genie in a bottle. Sometimes the answer God gives to our prayers is No. He is not amnipulated. we are often like children asking our parents for things we want but which they may know better is not good for us. So they say no or ignore us.

Sometimes, James tells us:

James 4:3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives,

I do not know your situation or your motives, but God does and God is not manipulated, even by prayer. There is no "trick"ing God.
