How do we know Christ hears our prayers?

The assurance that Christ hears our prayers is grounded in His role as our Advocate with the Father. Jesus Christ, the righteous, has opened the way for His people to approach God's throne of grace. Scriptures affirm this truth, indicating that He listens to our cries and petitions, as evidenced in 1 John 2:1. Furthermore, Psalm 34:15 tells us that the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and His ears are open to their cries. This dual presence of Christ in heaven and His active listening reflects His commitment to His Church and His desire to engage in a meaningful relationship with His people.
