Prayers
BQ: Because you pray does not mean that you're heard—whose prayers does God hear? In whose name/through whom should we pray everything? Let's start with a short verse.  “We know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, He hears him." Jn 9:31

A: Is 59:1-2, Psa 66:18, Jms 4:3 THEN
Jn 16:23-24, Col 3:17, Jn14:6

It is interesting to note that the "sinner's prayer" is not in the Bible and does not save you. In fact, it doesn't even make you "part way" saved. Which would be akin to being "part way" pregnant—you either are or you aren't.
