On my smartphone, I can see when someone reads my text.

Wouldn’t that be great to have an indicator like that to know that God heard our prayers?

Well, I want to give you unwavering assurance that God hears you, regardless of whether your prayers are answered or unanswered, and that experiencing this gives you goosebumps and a warm heart.

He can do all of that, and it’s wonderful!

But just as circumstances can be misinterpreted and feelings can deceive us, we need Truth to be set before our eyes and the eyes of our hearts. The Truth is found in God’s very word!!

We know that our Father hears us, because the Bible tells us so.

Here are:

The Top Six Bible Assurances That God Hears Our Prayers

The following simple outline comes from a Sunday School Class I did on improving our prayer life.

I. Psalm 34:15-18

The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous, and his ears toward their cry. 16 The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth. 17 When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. 18 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.

  • 4 Great reminders to put at the beginning of our prayers. Remember His promises. Stating these in a personal manner in your prayer will increase your faith “Father I thank you that when I cry for help you hear me and are near.”

II. Psalm 65:2

“O you who hear prayer, to you shall all flesh come.”

III. John 9:31

“We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, He listens to him.”

IV. Proverbs 15:29

“The Lord is far from the wicked, but He hears the prayer of the righteous.”

V. Lamentations 3:55-56

“I called on Your name, Yahweh, from the depths of the Pit. You hear my plea: Do not ignore my cry for relief. You come near when I call on You; You say: “Do not be afraid.””

  • Note Jeremiah is in the valley the depths of the pit. But reminds by faith that He doesn’t ignore us, He draws near us. Notice the passage doesn’t speak of immediate deliverance? God draws near, and speaks assurance, “Don’t be afraid.

VI. Isaiah 65:24

“Before they call, I will answer; while they are yet speaking, I will hear.” (This is God speaking)
