The Bible says “ask and ye shall receive…” and “we have not, because we ask not…” However, most of us have been asking and are still waiting to receive.
“Why are my prayers not getting answered?” is a question that many of us grapple with each day.
Why does it seem that some prayers are answered while those most dear to our hearts seemingly remain unanswered or take so long? How many times do we need to ask for the same thing? What are some of the hindrances to getting our prayers answered? Is there a special way to pray?
Pastor Alfonzo Surrett sheds some light on these questions that will help you to improve your prayer life.

Brett Murray of Concerts For Causes talks about the importance of helping others throughout the year. He recommends that we donate to causes that we are passionate about. Concerts For Causes provides musical instruments to youth in under-served areas.
The holiday season is fast approaching and with that comes an increased focus on donating money to charitable organization, volunteering your time to feeding the homeless, buying toys for tots, and more. However, the holidays are not the only time of year when people need help. Brett Murray of Concerts For Causes talks about the importance of helping others throughout the year and what he does year-round to make a difference in the lives of those in need.
According to Brett, the dropout rate of high school students for certain demographics in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia is approaching 67%. Studies show that 95% of high school students who are involved in a music program will graduate and attend college. This is reason enough to support the music programs at all high schools and Brett accomplishes this through his Save The Music Program.
Brett also reminds us that people need help year round and there are many ways to help; such as buying someone food, purchasing a coat or a comforter during the winter months. Get creative and just do it.
Via Concerts For Causes, Brett is making a difference in the lives of others in a manner that will allow people to make a donation and have a great time giving back.

Dr. Paul Anderson; Chaplain, Relationship Advisor, and Suicide Counselor, talks about how to build a firm foundation for our intimate relationships. He talks about why people do not marry for love, but because their mate can meet certain needs.
Sadly, many people are not certain of their real relationship needs, which makes it challenging for happiness to become a mainstay in the relationship. Dr. Paul also states that if the perceived need is met before true love develops, the relationship will most likely not stand the test of time and will be challenged by more unexpected needs.
Have you heard of the Intimacy Curve? Dr. Paul coined this term and states that where your relationship exists on the “Intimacy Curve” can determine its chance for longevity.
Dr. Paul also talks about why many people date like adults, but commit like children and “Harley’s Top 10 Needs” and how they can help us better understand the dynamics of our intimate relationships.
Dr. Paul was joined by his wife Deborah Anderson who talked about how women should conduct themselves, how they should and should not dress, and why women should not pursue men or ask for their hand in marriage.
This is a must listen to show if you want to learn how to improve your intimate relationships and whether or not the relationship that you are in has any staying power.
The Bible says “ask and ye shall receive…” and “we have not, because we ask not…” However, most of us have been asking and are still waiting to receive.
