When we know God and have a personal relationship with Him, we can be sure that He hears our prayers.

At times we may find it hard to find the words to pray. But we know that God knows our heart. A simple prayer from the heart God hears also.

When we find it hard to pray, we can begin by thanking God for all He has done for us. We can praise Him for His love and goodness. We then can ask His forgiveness, then we can pray for the lost, our family and friends.

God is concerned about our feelings and desires.

“Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.” Psalm 107: 8-9.

As children we learn how to talk and walk. When we become a child of God we start growing in His grace and wisdom. The knowledge we get from God’s Word helps us to know how to pray and what to pray for.

If we pray believing, our prayers will be answered, maybe not the way we want them answered, but God knows best and He hears and answers our prayers according to His will. God does hear our prayers.
