How do we know that God hears our prayers?

Answered in 73 sources

The Bible assures us that God hears the cries of His people, as demonstrated in Psalm 34:17, which states that the Lord hears the cries of the righteous.

The assurance that God hears our prayers is firmly grounded in Scripture. Psalm 34:17 states, 'The righteous cry, and the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.' This promise reflects God's goodness and compassion towards His people. In prayer, we approach God with our sorrows and requests, and the assurance that He listens is a source of comfort for believers. His omnipresence and omnipotence enable Him to attend to every cry, understanding our needs even before we articulate them. This fosters a deep relationship with God, encouraging us to turn to Him in every circumstance.
