How do we know our prayers are heard by God?

Answered in 19 sources

We are assured that God hears our prayers because we approach Him as a loving Father who desires to give good gifts to His children.

In Luke 11:9-10, Jesus promises that if we ask, seek, and knock, we will receive, find, and have doors opened for us. This promise underscores the relational aspect of prayer, where believers converse with the Almighty as their Father. Moreover, God's willingness to respond is affirmed through the comparison that if earthly fathers, despite their flaws, know how to give good gifts, how much more will our perfect Heavenly Father grant our requests? This illustrates that God delights in hearing from His children and answering their prayers in ways best suited for their spiritual needs.
