Prayers Unheard

God does not listen to the prayers of the purposely, persistently sinful.

Psalm 66:18
Isaiah 1:15
Isaiah 59:2
Jeremiah 14:10-12
Lamentations 3:42-44
Micah 3:4

  3. Good question. I guess to me it is a reminder that purposeful sin hinders our relationship with God. None can stop sinning so these verses cannot be speaking of our sin nature in general but a purposeful willing and ongoing disobedience. This heart attitude in some way hinders our prayers with God. Repentance would change the situation I suspect. What do you think?
