‏ Proverbs 15:29

The LORD Answers the Prayer of the Righteous

The wicked keep the LORD at a distance. As a result, He is far from them. When they need Him because they believe He can be of service to them, He proves to be inaccessible to them and deaf to their cries to Him. His grace, love and help are not available to them because they refuse to break with their sins. Of course, a prayer of repentance from the wicked is the exception, for thereby they become righteous. When they pray as righteous, He answers (Jam 5:16b-18; Psa 34:16 ; 18; 1Pet 3:12).
