The question then becomes, "why are prayers not answered if the bible says they will be"?
Who said that the answer is always going to be "yes"? The central premise of that site was that the Bible teaches that people will get what the pray for, and that is not in the Bible. It's kind of like the old Rolling Stones song, "You can't always get what you want... Sometimes you'll get what you need". And in some cases the answer to your prayer will be that your time is up, and it's time to rest from your efforts in our current existance.
