Bible Question (short): Does God hear the prayers of the lost? |
Question (full): Does the Bible mention God not hearing the prayers of the lost? I know He hears the prayer of salvation from the lost, but what about a lost person "praying" for her dad who is real sick with cancer? My wife and I are trying to witness to her friend. She is not yet saved, but is asking the "why" and "how come" questions that lead to the prayer of salvation. She says she is "praying", but I am not sure what the Bible says about prayer from someone who is not yet saved. Please provide scripture so we can show her. Then when she gets saved, her prayers for her dad will be heard and answered. Please and thank you. Mike |
