1. When we say your prayers may not be answered because you are praying to the wrong god, we mean?
- A. You are praying to Allah or God by another name
- B. You are believing God for promises that He didn’t make
- C. You are putting your selfish desires above God’s
- D. You are not “delighting yourself in the Lord”
B. You are believing God for promises that He didn’t make
By “praying to the wrong God” we mean that you are believing God for things He did not promise. Perhaps you are using scriptures out of context to make them appear that God will behave in the manner you want Him to or to give yourself the illusion of having more control over God’s will.
This was from the story of Elijah and the prophets of Baal.
An example would be the belief that God is going to make every Christian rich.

5But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. 7For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, 8being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
1 Peter 3:7
You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.
