How do we know that God listens to our prayers?

Answered in 18 sources

Scripture assures us that God hears the prayers of the righteous and responds according to His will, as seen in Abraham's intercession.

The assurance that God listens to our prayers is rooted in the nature of God as both compassionate and just. In Genesis 18, we see how God engages with Abraham, indicating that He values the prayers of His faithful servants. This relationship highlights that when God's people pray earnestly, He is attentive. Furthermore, in the New Testament, believers are encouraged that their prayers are heard through Christ, the Great Intercessor. As Hebrews 7:25 states, Jesus is able to save to the uttermost, always making intercession for us. Thus, we have confidence in approaching God, knowing that He hears us and acts in accordance with His perfect will.
