Sometimes, we don’t even have the strength to pray, and all we can do is softly say, “O Lord.” But do you know? Even that soft call is heard by God. God doesn’t require perfect prayers from us; He desires our sincere hearts. These 6 Bible verses about answered prayers are for those who are tired, confused, and on the verge of giving up on prayers. I pray that after reading them, you’ll reignite the desire to pray in your heart and know that God is always by your side.

1. “Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you know not” (Jeremiah 33:3).

Sometimes life feels like a thick fog—we can’t see the way ahead, and problems just keep coming. The more we try to figure things out, the more confused we become. And the more we try to solve everything on our own, the more helpless we feel. But this verse is like an open door—God Himself invites us in, saying, “Call to Me.” He doesn’t speak casually; He gives us a promise: “I will answer you.”

God is waiting for us to call on Him so He may respond. He doesn’t just answer the difficulties right in front of us—He shows us great things we never knew—things far beyond what human effort can resolve. It’s like a GPS suddenly lighting up a clear path. Just when we think there’s no way forward, God provides a solution beyond anything we could have imagined.

Don’t be afraid to ask, and don’t be afraid to pray. Even if all you can say is, “God, please help me,” He hears you and He is at work. You may not see His hand, but you can feel His guidance. Our end is the starting point of His work.

2. “The righteous cry, and Jehovah hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles” (Psalm 34:17).

Have you ever wept quietly in the middle of the night, feeling like no one understands you and no one can help you? This verse gives a gentle yet firm answer: God hears.

“The righteous cry”—here, “the righteous” doesn’t refer to perfect people, but to those who rely on God and have an upright heart. We don’t have to pretend to be strong or act spiritual. True prayer isn’t about using elegant words—it’s about honestly pouring out our pain and struggles before God. He listens to the heart, not the volume. When you cry, He’s listening. When you’re afraid, He’s already working. We often think God waits until everything calms down to respond, but in reality, He often begins His deliverance right in the middle of our chaos and pain.

“All their troubles”—from the big storms of illness and broken families to the quiet ache of inner struggles and emotional breakdowns—none of it escapes God’s notice. He is the One who is right beside you when you cry. Don’t be afraid to pour out your truest feelings to Him. When you call out to Him, He hears you. No matter what valley you’re in right now, don’t stop crying out to God—He will deliver you from all your troubles.

3. “Jehovah is near to all them that call on Him, to all that call on Him in truth. He will fulfill the desire of them that fear Him: He also will hear their cry, and will save them” (Psalm 145:18-19).

Someone once asked me, “Why hasn’t God answered my prayers?” I smiled and replied, “Have you spoken to Him as sincerely as a child calling out to their father?”

God is not a distant God—He wants to draw near to us. And there’s only one condition for us: sincerity. Prayer isn’t about reciting a formula or repeating words from a script. It’s about speaking honestly, like you would with a close friend—sharing your fears, desires, and confusions. To say “God is near” means He’s not far off or out of reach—He is a Father who bends down to listen when you speak.

He fulfills the desires of our hearts, but He’s not a wish-granting machine. When we fear Him and trust Him, He knows what’s truly best for us. Your prayers don’t need to be perfect—just sincere. Prayer is not a performance; it’s a conversation built on trust.

4. “And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear” (Isaiah 65:24).

This is a verse that can bring tears to our eyes. We often think God is slow to respond, but in fact, we simply haven’t seen that He’s already been preparing everything behind the scenes.

Before we even open our mouths, God is already responding. While we’re still trying to find the right words, His mercy is already ahead of us. Many times, we think it’s our prayers that move God’s heart—but the truth is, His love was already waiting at the crossroads of our lives. Just like a mother who hears the faintest sound from her baby and immediately rushes to check on them, God responds even faster than words.

We often wonder, “Why hasn’t God acted yet?”—but in reality, He is still arranging what’s best for us. He’s not passively waiting for us to pray—He’s had us in His heart long before we ever turned to Him. The power of prayer doesn’t just change our circumstances—it reminds us: “You are deeply loved by God and have never been overlooked by Him.”

5. “And all things, whatever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive” (Matthew 21:22).

A lot of us get it wrong—we think our prayers have to be impressive. But Jesus says, “believing.” And this word is often the hardest for many people to live by. We pray for five minutes, and when we don’t see immediate results, we start to wonder if God has even heard us. But this verse isn’t telling us to use faith to pressure God—it’s an invitation to use faith to move His heart.

Faith doesn’t mean believing that God will do things our way. It means trusting that His way is always the best. Prayer is the willingness to hand over control and let God lead us down His path.

Sometimes we ask for something, but God makes us wait, because He wants to give us something better. You may not see His hand, but you can always trust His heart. True faith means believing that even when there’s no answer today, God is already arranging things on the road ahead.

6. “Then shall you call on Me, and you shall go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you” (Jeremiah 29:12).

Some people, after praying for a long time, begin to wonder: “Does God really hear me? Will He really respond?”

But this verse carries a tender promise: “Then shall you call on Me, and you shall go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.” (Jeremiah 29:12)

This is an intimate relationship—not where you say something and He replies, but where you cry out and He responds, where you pray and He acts. It’s not about formality—it’s about connection. It’s not a ritual—it’s a relationship.

Every time you pray, you’re reminding yourself: “I have a God I can rely on.” Even if you haven’t seen the result yet, you can be sure that God has already heard you.

Sometimes the answer seems delayed because God is waiting for you to realize: He Himself is more important than any answer.

You may still be waiting for that “answer” today, but don’t stop praying—because every time you call, God hears, and the answer is already on the way.

🙏Closing Prayer

Dear God, sometimes I truly don’t know how to pray. My words are clumsy, and my heart feels chaotic. But You never despise me. You hear the voice inside my heart—even before I speak, You already know what I want to say. Lord, I know You are the God who loves me, who hears my prayers and has compassion on me. Today, I don’t ask for much—only that I may feel Your presence and comfort as I pray. Even if my problems are not yet solved, I trust in Your unchanging love. Thank You for patiently waiting for me to call on You. Amen.
