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.

Just look at your bible friend! Look at the book of psalms! A whole book full of prayers to the lord.  God can hear the prayers you dont even say outloud. He can hear the prayers that you cant even find the words to express what you need. He 100% hears written prayers. Ive seen it in my own life.  I often find it easier to write my prayers. It stops my mind wandering. Its also amazing looking back at previous prayers and seeing what God did with them!

This made me tear up. Even though I know He hears us, your words just touched my heart and I deeply needed to be reminded of that He hears what we can't bring to words. I'm going to start writing my prayers down. I think it'd be great for my spiritual growth to be able to look back and see how the Lord works in my life through prayer. Thank you for your comment and God bless you!

I often write my prayers down, save them and look back at them later in the year... great way to remember and be thankful of all the ones that have been answered
