Job 35:12

Yahweh is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous.

Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.

He who turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.

When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you. Yes, when you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.

He will fulfill the desire of those who fear him. He also will hear their cry, and will save them.

It has come to pass that, as he called, and they refused to listen, so they will call, and I will not listen,” said Yahweh of Armies;

If I cherished sin in my heart, the Lord wouldn’t have listened.

Then they will cry to Yahweh, but he will not answer them. Yes, he will hide his face from them at that time, because they made their deeds evil.”

For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears open to their prayer; but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”

This is the boldness which we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us.

Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.”

so whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.

Will God hear his cry when trouble comes on him?

Whoever stops his ears at the cry of the poor, he will also cry out, but shall not be heard.

Therefore Yahweh says, ‘Behold, I will bring evil on them, which they will not be able to escape; and they will cry to me, but I will not listen to them.

When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and meal offering, I will not accept them; but I will consume them by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence.”

Then Yahweh said to me, “Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind would not turn toward this people. Cast them out of my sight, and let them go out!

Therefore I will also deal in wrath. My eye won’t spare, neither will I have pity. Though they cry in my ears with a loud voice, yet I will not hear them.”

They will go with their flocks and with their herds to seek Yahweh; but they won’t find him. He has withdrawn himself from them.

Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.

In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don’t know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can’t be uttered.

When God destroyed the cities of the plain, God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the middle of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot lived.

Now therefore, restore the man’s wife. For he is a prophet, and he will pray for you, and you will live. If you don’t restore her, know for sure that you will die, you, and all who are yours.”

Now therefore, take to yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will accept him, that I not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.”

Moses and Aaron were among his priests, Samuel was among those who call on his name. They called on Yahweh, and he answered them.

Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had Moses, his chosen, not stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, so that he wouldn’t destroy them.

Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.

Then they will call on me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me;

Then you will call, and Yahweh will answer. You will cry for help, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’ “If you take away from among you the yoke, finger pointing, and speaking wickedly;

But Jesus answered, “You don’t know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?” They said to him, “We are able.”

If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.

You didn’t choose me, but I chose you and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you will ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Don’t they come from your pleasures that war in your members?

You will cry out in that day because of your king whom you will have chosen for yourselves; and Yahweh will not answer you in that day.”

They looked, but there was no one to save; even to Yahweh, but he didn’t answer them.

Surely God will not hear an empty cry, neither will the Almighty regard it.

The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I don’t get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw.”

We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God, and does his will, he listens to him.

For that man shouldn’t think that he will receive anything from the Lord.

Yahweh said, “My Spirit will not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; so his days will be one hundred twenty years.”

When Saul inquired of Yahweh, Yahweh didn’t answer him by dreams, by Urim, or by prophets.

King Solomon answered his mother, “Why do you ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Ask for him the kingdom also; for he is my elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.”

They cried, but there was no one to save; even to Yahweh, but he didn’t answer them.

I delight to do your will, my God. Yes, your law is within my heart.”

“Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you into pieces, and there be no one to deliver.

I love those who love me. Those who seek me diligently will find me.

I opened to my beloved; but my beloved left, and had gone away. My heart went out when he spoke. I looked for him, but I didn’t find him. I called him, but he didn’t answer.

It will happen that when Moab presents himself, when he wearies himself on the high place, and comes to his sanctuary to pray, that he will not prevail.

They haven’t cried to me with their heart, but they howl on their beds. They assemble themselves for grain and new wine. They turn away from me.

“Now, please entreat the favor of God, that he may be gracious to us. With this, will he accept any of you?” says Yahweh of Armies.

But he answered, ‘Most certainly I tell you, I don’t know you.’

Behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster jar of ointment.

When once the master of the house has risen up, and has shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ then he will answer and tell you, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’

What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he didn’t obtain, but the chosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened.

You ask, and don’t receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.
