We know God will hear our prayers because He promises to hear those who come through Jesus Christ (Psalm 20:1).
God's assurance of hearing our prayers is grounded in the work of Jesus Christ. The Bible teaches that access to God is only possible through Christ, who bore our sins and troubles. For those who approach God in faith, He promises to respond favorably. The ultimate example is Christ's own cry in Psalm 22, where He experienced forsakenness, allowing us, through His sacrifice, to be heard by the Father. Hence, we can have confidence in our prayers because they are offered in Christ's name, as reinforced in Psalm 20.
