When we ask, He hears us...

 1 John 5:14

This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

Indeed, God hears us when we pray...We are grateful for the sacrifice God made, through Jesus, who torn the veil and we got access to God directly. This gives us confidence to approach God just as we are; through Jesus Christ, we are the righteousness of God and thus, we can come boldly at His throne to ask (2 Corinthians 5:21). However, when we ask, we know that He hears us. 

Matthew 7:7 tells us to ask and it shall be given to us. This because God listens to our prayers. Psalm 116:2 says: "Because He bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath!" He listens to us when we pray. What we need to pay attention to, is to not think that God doesn't hear us or doesn't answer, simply because we haven't received what we asked for. At times, it is not a denial, but perhaps God is making you wait. Or He perhaps have something better, or whatever you are asking for, is not aligned- it is not according to His will. Either way, we need to be patient and be convinced that He has heard us and when the time is right, He will answer. And indeed, He will. You need to be convinced of what you know, so that the enemy doesn't make you lose faith, by convincing you otherwise. Trust that He has heard you and He will answer.
