Frequently Asked Questions

Does God hear every prayer?

Yes. Psalm 34:17 says the Lord hears the righteous when they cry. 1 John 5:14 adds that when we pray according to His will, He hears us. God's silence is not absence — sometimes His answer is 'wait' or 'I have something better.'

Why does it feel like God isn't listening?

Feelings are not reliable indicators of spiritual reality. God promised to hear (Jeremiah 33:3), and His word cannot fail. Silence may be a season of trust-building, or God may be answering in ways you haven't yet recognized.
