A very inspiring question from kuya mhel which i would really link to multiply.com and would post entirely in english due to international readers. Please come and share with me .
My favorite verse withr regards to this is James 5:16
"the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."
from only one verse we have a lengthy exposition.

a just man, and his prayer was prevalent: and not any prayer of a righteous man is of avail, but that which is
"effectual, fervent"; that has power, and energy, and life in it; which is with the Spirit, and with the understanding, with the heart, even with a true heart, and in faith; and which is put up with fervency, and not in a cold, lukewarm, lifeless, formal, and customary way:
it is but one word in the original text; and the Vulgate Latin version renders it, "daily"; that prayer which is constant and continual, and without ceasing, and is importunate; this prevails and succeeds.

we may ask, "are all prayers answered?"
we may perhaps discuss first the literally answered ones, and would try to talk about ther supplications which are not literally answered according ot our own situtions and perceptions.
but first james 5:16 tells about an effectual, fervent prayer of
a righteous man
availet much. What is being effectual and righteous mean?
Can God listen to every prayer?

What is being effectual?
adj. Producing or sufficient to produce a desired effect; fully adequate.
fully adequate to produce an effect-
a clergy ones told someone - "maybe yor prayers just hit the roof"
but the one who does the effective prayer must be a righteous man-

yeah, i agree when it comes to mga dala dalahin natin... mapapa ha hayzz ka nga eh...
but the most important para maging effective i think is yung Faith mo sa kanya, He looks direct into our hearts naman eh hindi sa ganda ng prayers or ganda ng petition natin kung mali naman ang motives i think that would be a flop or kaput impact...!
Mark 2:5 When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven you."
Mathew 17:20 So Jesus said to them, "Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.
