Isaiah 59:1-2 ” Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor His ear too dull to hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear.”

John 9:31 puts it well, “God doesn’t listen to sinners. He listens to the godly man who does His Will.” But nor can we suppose that God can be manipulated, cajoled, bullied, or flattered into helping those who are habitually disobedient. Sin separates us from God & hinders our prayers, for you can’t continue to sin and expect your voice to be heard on high. (Isaiah 58:4) So in the end, the words of Jeremiah 5:25 ring so true…”Your sins have deprived you of good.” … the goodness of God, happiness, wisdom, peace and joy.
