Pro 28:9 | MHM | STEP | Prayer Without Obedience This section explains how we connect with God through both His word and through prayer. God speaks to us when we listen to His law, and we speak to Him when we pray. We should be serious and respectful both when we hear from God and when we talk to Him. v. 9 : If we do not respect or pay attention to God's word, then our prayers will not please Him. In fact, God may see our prayers as an abomination if we refuse to obey His commandments. Even though prayer is a moral duty and God delights in the prayers of honest people, He will reject the prayers of those who ignore His law. This is similar to what is written in When you spread out your hands in prayer, I hide my eyes from you (Isaiah 1:15 ). If we do not listen when God calls us, He will not listen when we call to Him (Proverbs 1:24, 28 ).

Prayer Without Obedience

This section explains how we connect with God through both His word and through prayer. God speaks to us when we listen to His law, and we speak to Him when we pray. We should be serious and respectful both when we hear from God and when we talk to Him.

v. 9: If we do not respect or pay attention to God's word, then our prayers will not please Him. In fact, God may see our prayers as an abomination if we refuse to obey His commandments. Even though prayer is a moral duty and God delights in the prayers of honest people, He will reject the prayers of those who ignore His law. This is similar to what is written in When you spread out your hands in prayer, I hide my eyes from you (Isaiah 1:15 ^a). If we do not listen when God calls us, He will not listen when we call to Him (Proverbs 1:24, 28 ^b).
