How do we know that God hears our cries?

Answered in 4 sources

God's word assures believers that His eyes are open to the righteous and His ears attentive to their cries.

The assurance that God hears our cries is firmly grounded in scripture. For instance, Psalm 34:15 states that 'the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry.' This means that when believers, who are made righteous through Christ, earnestly cry out to God, He is attentive to their needs. In 2 Samuel 22:7, David also affirms that in his distress, he cried out to the Lord, and he was saved from his troubles. This highlights not only God's ability to hear but also His willingness to respond, as He is moved by the cries of His people, especially when they are rooted in honesty about their circumstances and a recognition of their need for mercy.
