1 John 5:14-15 “Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. (15) And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.”
The second reason that our prayers of the understanding go unheard is because many times, those prayers fall outside of the will of God. In the scripture quoted above, the Holy Spirit tells us that if we ask the Father anything in accordance with His will, He hears us. And so, conversely the Holy Spirit is also teaching us in the same passage, that if we ask the Father anything outside of His will, He does not hear us. When I say that God does not hear those prayers, I do not mean that God becomes temporarily deaf. What I mean is that the Lord chooses to ignore those prayers, and He certainly does not answer them.
