Praying to Be Heard

When you pray, do you feel like you are being heard by God? Have you ever considered praying to God to ask him to hear your prayers?

God hears us when we pray. When we feel as if God is not listening to our prayers, we can ask God to hear us and to grant our requests as we pray.

The Psalmist, one of the Sons of Korah, wrote, “O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah Behold our shield, O God; look on the face of your anointed!” (Psalm 84:8-9, ESV).

May we come to God in prayer and ask him to hear us when we pray so that we may experience God’s love and intimacy as God hears and answers our prayers.

A Prayer for the Acceptance of Prayer: “Heavenly Father, you have promised to hear what we ask in the Name of your Son: Accept and fulfill our petitions, we pray, not as we ask in our ignorance, nor as we deserve in our sinfulness, but as you know and love us in your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (#98., Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
