Does God hear the prayers of an unbeliever?

Question:
Does God hear the prayers of an unbeliever?

Answer:
No. “If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me” (Psalm 66:18). “The Lord is far from the wicked: but He heareth the prayer of the righteous” (Proverbs 15:29).

God graciously promises: “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to ALL MEN liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him” (James 1:5). However, we are told that in the coming day, “Then shall they call upon Me, but I will not answer; they shall seek Me early, but they shall not find Me” (Proverbs 1:28). “But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid His face from you, that He will not hear” (Isaiah 59:2). John 9:31 says, “Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth His will, him He heareth.”We praise God that we by faith can approach God due to Christ’s work on the cross for us. “For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5). “Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus” (Hebrews 10:19).
