You're listening to Amy Hall and Greg Kokel, and for our faithful listeners.

Or frustrated listeners.

In our last episode, we couldn't find the name of a book that Greg had mentioned. So we have it now. It's called Good News for Anxious Christians, and it's by Philip Carey, C-A-R-Y. All right, so that might sound mysterious. If you haven't listened to it, now you have to go back and listen to it. So the book is Good News for Anxious Christians, 10 practical things you don't have to do.

You don't have to do. So now you all have to go back and listen to that one. And it does tie in our conversation about hearing from God and finding God's will and all of that, which he says are things you don't have to do. So on to this episode,

hopefully we have it together now, Greg. This question comes from Jessica. Does God hear

non-believers' prayers? If he hears them, does he answer them?

Well, I did some thinking about this a couple of months ago,

and I went to a number of texts.

Now, where is it?

In the Proverbs was the first thing that alerted me to a problem here, and that is that even his,

how does it start? It's like, regarding the unbeliever or the godless man, even his prayer

is an abomination.

Now, and there are a number of places that are like this, and again, I wish I could give you

chapter and verse in proverbs, but it's something to that effect.

It makes a very strong statement there.

And now there are some exceptions to this. Go ahead. Do you have it? Yes, it's

Proverbs 28-9. He who turns away his ear from listening to the law, even his prayer,

isn't an abomination. There you go. Okay. And so in other words, people are doing their own

thing. They're not following God.

This reminds me of Romans 8 when he talks about those who are after the flesh and after

the spirit.

And those who are after the flesh, Paul says, can't please God.
