Some who attempt prayer never have the sense of anyone listening on the other end. They blame themselves for doing it wrong. Prayer requires the faith to believe that God listens.
[Philip Yancey]
1 John 5:14-15 ... And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
Proverbs 15:29 ... The Lord is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
Psalm 145:19 ... He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them. ❤
