JEHOVAH GOD is the “King of eternity.” He is also the “Hearer of prayer,” to whom “people of all flesh will come.” Revelation 15:3; Psalm 65:2
To be heard by God, a person must express prayerful sentiments that are in harmony with the divine will. Yes, he must be sincere, However, more is required. “Without faith it is impossible to please God well,” according to the apostle Paul he wrote, “for he that approaches God must believe that he is and that he becomes the rewarder of those earnestly seeking him.” Hebrews 11:6
Please read this article for more information on prayer entitled Coming to the hearer of prayer: https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/library/r1/lp-e/all-publ... “O Hearer of prayer, even to you people of all flesh will come.” Ps. 65:2.

God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. So yes. But he obviously does not grant most of them.

God invites people of all sorts to draw close to him in prayer. (Psalm 65:2) Yet, he does not listen to, or accept, all prayers. For example, the prayers of a man who mistreats his wife can be hindered. (1 Peter 3:7) Also, when the Israelites persisted in badness, God refused to hear their prayers. Clearly, prayer is a privilege. Nevertheless, God will accept the prayers of even gross sinners if they repent.—Read Isaiah 1:15; 55:7.

God does hear every prayer, it's just that most people don't like His response, perhaps your praying for the wrong reason or thing if the answer isn't yes or perhaps God thinks it's your responsibility and not His to do something, maybe there's a reason God give us a brain and maybe it's not His fault for you not using it.

God listens to every prayer, every word, every thought that we produce. Like any good parent, He doesn't grant every request His children make, because He knows what will ultimately be best for us.

Prayer is part of our worship. e should pray only to God j Jehovah. Jesus prayed also to his Father. We should do the same. (Matt. 4:10:6:9)Jehovah listens only to the prayers of righteous people.

God never bothers whether people believe in him or not. God’s intervention in human affairs is very rare. God doesn't watch each and every human being at the same time and cannot live with each and everyone to guide them. These works are done by the spirits. God had created different kinds of spirits for various purposes. He had made the spirits to watch, guide and determine the destiny of the human beings from their daily activities, talks and thoughts too. Your past determines your present and your present determines your future. God has given freewill to all creatures including human beings. According to this, all human beings have all right to live a life as they wish. But if it happens to be bad and hurts someone, they have to face the consequences. These consequences are created by spirits. It's a natural system. After death no one lives in any form. Heaven and hell are only for spirits, not for human beings. God is a mystery even to the spirits. Spirits are not eternal beings but their lifetime is long. Spirits are separate elements. A human being during his/her lifetime is living with many spirits which have joined one by one since birth. They are knowledge, skills, feelings, emotions, interests and everything. These spirits are your consciousnesses and memories. Even thoughts are not your own. For example, when you want to take a decision on a subject, one after another the spirits think and you just listen, choose or reject the ideas which they transmit to your mind through your brain in the form of thoughts. Brain is just a media to connect the spirits to your mind. A mind is just a computer's mind. A mind is you. After the destruction of a computer completely you will not get it's mind. The same is the case with the human beings. A human being doesn't have a spiritual body. Soul is nothing but an energy needed for the functionality of a body. It is not a spirit or anything else. A body's functionality is based on the auto mechanism. After death all spirits which accompanied a person quit and go to different places searching new bodies. No one lives after death in any form. All human beings are just robots made of flesh and bones and toys of the spirits for their games.

When you pray to God directly,
I am sure that He listens to every prayer.
God has NEVER told anyone that Christianity is
the one-and-only way to contact Him. Only today's
Catholics and Christians keep that crap alive.
Pray to *God* ... don't pray to the messenger.
