As you may know, in this country, today is proclaimed to be our National Day of Prayer.  Many will speak forth “prayers.”  The question is: Will God hear them all?  The answer of Scripture is that His hearing, and acting, are dependent upon the heart attitude of the one who offers the prayer.  The prayer must be uttered by a person who belongs to the only true God by faith in His Son, Jesus Messiah…a person only made righteous by the grace of God.  God will hear, and act, according to His will, to the prayers of the righteous…and for the righteous, every day is a day of prayer.

 

Proverbs 15:29

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

 

James 5:16

The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.

 

1 Timothy 2:8

Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and dissension.

 

“We must alter our lives in order to alter our hearts, for it is impossible to live one way and pray another.” ~ William Law

 

The Lord bless you and keep you…
