Prayers of the Unrighteous

We know that God does not listen to sinners, but He does listen to the one who worships Him and does His will.

Whoever turns his ear away from hearing the law, even his prayer is detestable.

For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are inclined to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”

If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man has great power to prevail.

But your iniquities have built barriers between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He does not hear.

The LORD is far from the wicked, but He hears the prayer of the righteous.

And when you do ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may squander it on your pleasures.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
