“He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.” Proverbs 28:9
People imagine that God is pleased with everyone’s prayers, but the truth is that one’s prayers are an abomination to God if he does not hear and heed God’s Word, repent of his sins, and trust in Jesus and His cross for pardon and forgiveness. God accepts prayer only for the sake of Jesus Christ and His atoning sacrifice for our sins; therefore, the prayers of those who do not trust in Christ Jesus are an abomination to Him.
Hear my prayer, O God, for the sake of Jesus Christ and His blood shed on the cross for my sins. Give me a penitent heart and faith in the atoning sacrifice of Your dear Son and my Savior. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
