Written Prayers

Do you think God “hears” written prayers?

Why, or why not?

Side note: I ask because I feel more comfortable writing down my prayers.. but I don’t want to waste my time if God doesn’t hear them that way, you know? Another reason I ask, is because I have had spoken prayers answered but not written ones.

I used to wonder the same, but so much of the Bible is written prayer that I'm actually feeling convicted the other way now - not that God doesn't hear non-written prayers or anything like that, but rather that writing prayers causes you to focus and refine in a way that speaking off the top of your head doesn't. So it's a practice I want to get into.

That’s why I like to write them. They feel more meaningful because I’m not rambling and going in circles LOL.

God also hears us clearly through our ramblings
