How do we know that God hears our prayers in distress?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible assures us that God hears the cries of His people in distress, as clearly stated in Psalm 107:19-20.
In Psalm 107:19-20, we see that the Lord responds to the cries of His people when they find themselves in trouble. The text emphasizes that it is during their distress that they call upon the Lord, and He saves them. This assurance is rooted in the understanding that God is always attentive to His children's needs and responds to sincere cries for help. The act of crying out to God is a step of faith that acknowledges human helplessness and dependence on His grace. Such scriptures remind believers that they can approach God through prayer, trusting that He listens and intervenes according to His perfect will.
