“The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth.” Psalm 145:18 (NASB)
This verse does not say anything directly about God answering prayer but we believe this is the promise we find here. We believe that this verse is all about God promising to respond when we pray. God knows everything – our past, present, and future – and He knows when anyone calls on Him in prayers. When we call on God in prayer, He knows what we are thinking. Yes, God knows exactly what we are thinking and what we are feeling when we pray. He knows before we know ourselves. God knows if we are sincere and if we truly believe that He can and will answer us. Our verse tells us that when we pray sincerely (in truth) and with faith, God pays attention. God is near to us when we call and and he comes nearer when we pray sincerely. And, He lets us sense His nearness and this strengthens our faith and our trust in Him.
