Does God respond to the prayers of sinners?

No!

The bible clearly tells us that God does not hear sinners (John 9:31). If He doesn’t hear the prayer of sinners, then He won’t respond.

In fact, “God’s ears are open to the prayers of the righteous, but His face is against those who do evil” (1 Peter 3:12).

However, if we confess our sins, [God] is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).

Confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9-13).

If you have made that confession, you can ask anything in the name of Jesus and be assured your petition will be heard (John 16:23-24; Matthew 7:7-8; Luke 11:9-10).

You can now boldly approach the throne of grace to obtain mercy and grace in your time of need (Hebrews 4:16).
