God Hears The Prayers Of The Righteous

The LORD is far from the wicked: but he hears the prayer of the righteous." Proverbs 15:29.

The Book of Proverbs provides numerous promises and benefits for the righteous. The above scripture is just one of them. Many of us were raised in a religious structure where we seldom read our Bibles. And even when we did manage to read them, it was solely to claim that we had read them without actually considering the message they were conveying to us.

From my experience, pondering and slowly digesting scripture can challenge the human spirit and mind. The righteous are those who believe in and accept the God of the Bible and understand that applying the scriptures will bring about the change they seek in their lives. These are the same scriptures that Moses, Abraham, Isaac, Joseph, and other righteous figures in the Bible followed. 

The scripture mentioned above can be a great source of comfort for those going through tough times. It reveals that the same God who created and oversees everything, with a plan for all things, has also provided this scripture to assure the righteous that despite being involved in everything, He never stops listening to their prayers.

"My friend, please trust me when I say that I understand what you're going through. It's common to feel like your prayers are going unheard or that God has forgotten or ignored you. I've been there too, and the enemy's voice can be so loud in our heads, telling us that we're wasting our time praying, that God isn't listening, or that we must have sinned and are being punished. But those thoughts are not necessarily true, and my experience has shown me that consistency in prayer will make a difference."

According to the scripture, "The LORD is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous." This statement implies two things: firstly, God does not support those who are wicked and working against us, and secondly, even if it seems like our prayers are unheard, we can always be sure that God is listening to the prayers of the righteous.

To the person reading this post this morning who is not righteous, why not do what is necessary to become righteous so that you would be assured that your prayers are being heard according to the scripture? Just believe, accept, and confess the Lord Jesus Christ from your heart, and you will be given your spiritual robe of righteousness and its endless benefits.

Righteous people continue to pray for the unrighteous so that the God who promises to hear the prayers of the righteous will answer our prayers concerning the salvation of the unrighteous.
