How do we know that our prayers have any influence where God is concerned? Well, for one thing He assures everyone that He hears our prayers when we call out to Him in truth. What does this mean? This word is often joined to other words in Scripture such as good and right. Why would God not listen to our prayers when we ask for things which are good and right and therefore true to His purposes. This is at least part of what Jesus was referring to when He told us to pray in His name--to ask for things He would be proud to represent to His Father for us.
“The LORD is near to all who call on Him, to all who call out to Him in truth.” Ps.145.18 Conversations Within” ts 7/23/2018
