“Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘Because you have prayed to Me against Sennacherib king of Assyria, I have heard.’” – 2 Kings 19:20 NKJV
God hears us whenever we pray! Hallelujah! And not only does He hear us, He also answers us. It’s His promise to us, that when we call upon Him He will hear and answer us. Glory to His name!
1 John 5:14-15 says, “Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.”
When Jesus prayed, He started by saying, “Father, I thank You for You hear Me always.” That’s how to pray with confidence. Don’t go praying, “Father, please hear my cry.” Or you shake your head up and down saying, “God You must hear my prayer.” That’s unnecessary because He already told us that He’s listening and that He will answer! God is faithful and His word is true: if He says He hears us, it’s true! It doesn’t matter if all 7 billion of us pray to Him at the same time, He will hear all of us at the same time, and if we all pray according to His will, He will grant our requests. He’s a rewarder of all them that diligently seek Him! Praise the Lord!
