Simply so, do God listen to our prayers?
Some people ask why God doesn't answer, or doesn't always answer, their prayers. But the fact is, God does answer prayer. In fact, God answers every prayer. If you think about it, though, you can understand why he doesn't answer every prayer with a “Yes,” immediately.
One may also ask, how do you know if God will answer your prayers? In Matthew 7:7 we are told by Jesus to ask God and then God will answer. God will often wait for you to ask for what he already knows he is going to give you so that you know it is him that has given you this blessing. If God only answers prayers that are in alignment with his will, it would be wise to pray his will.
Additionally, can God hear our prayers in your head?
Yes, in the sense that God is equally well able to hear your silent prayer than a prayer out loud. He knows what you need even before you ask! Yes, in the sense that God is equally well able to hear your silent prayer than a prayer out loud. He knows what you need even before you ask!
What causes God not to answer prayers?
- As long as your prayers are for selfish motives, driven by pride hidden in your heart, God will not answer them. - If you knowingly condone sin, whether it's happening to you or to someone else, and you don't correct them, you 'regard iniquity in your heart' and thus should forget about God answering your prayers.
