How do people pray?

Question

How do deaf and dumb (i dont like that word to but it is known to refer to as people who cant speak)people pray and how does God hear them?

Answer 1

God hears all the prayers of the righteous. But consider the following:

A Christian hunter is hunting bears in the woods. While walking up a hill he grabs a branch for leverage and it breaks sending the hunter tumbling down the hill, gun flying off elsewhere. When the hunter dusts himself off he sees a huge bear charging him. The hunter begins running, but trips and falls, landing on his knees. Seizing the opportunity, and being a good Christian, the hunter begins to pray, "Lord, make this bear a Christian."

The woods are quiet, the hunter turns and, Hallelujah! He sees the bear on his knees, paws together, praying! Listening, he hears the bear praying, "Father, bless this food to my body."

The key message here is that God answers prayers of the righteous, but the answer you get may not be the answer you want, but it will always be the right answer. Prayer is a coming to God, telling Him your need (or the need of others), committing your way unto the Lord, and then leaving God to deal with the case as seems best to Him.

How should one pray to God?

I speak to God in the same manner as I write these words to you now. That is, I have a plain conversation (no “thou’s” “thine’s”, “thy’s”!) with Him each day, usually out under the stars late at night as my family sleeps. My prayers are conversations that follow a pattern. I start every prayer with the following: "Most merciful God, not my will, but yours, be done." I repeat that phrase often during my prayers. Sometimes I will do so for tens of times just to quiet my mind and make it open to hearing from my Creator.

Use the following pattern in all your prayers and you will see them answered: Adoration, Contrition, Thanksgiving, and Supplication. See the links below for more information. (acronym: ACTS)

Answer 2

It is the heart that cries out, when the emotion is so much that the tears stream down the cheak of your face. It is his finger that wipes them away. He sees you sitting at a desk at work when you are in heaviness. He sees you passing through the side of the street. He walks side by side you unaware. He speaks into your souls your bones. He comforts you when you are broken. It is more then a pray but a call out for help .. Resuce 911 Lord . I am in need help me through I cannot stand it no more. He is never late but right on time. It is like when a baby cries out when it is hungry. .It doesnt have the words to form to tell the mother he or she is hungry. The baby cries and the mother runs to the side of the child to feed that child. He is there to come and fix us when we dont know what to ask . Sometimes all you can do is just weap. sometimes you dont have to say anything at all. But just cry out Jesus. He knows you well more then you know yourself. Jesus the savior of the world. Jesus loves you

Answer 3

All the answers above are correct, but there is one more thing. God invented deaf people. Even back in the first days, there were deaf people. And God is omniscient, meaning he also knew that we would come up with ASL and SEE (sign language), and therefore already knows how to communicate that way in Jesus' form.

Answer 4

Prayer needn't be verbal to be heard by God. It also needn't be audible to another human ...

"For the word of God is alive, exerts power, and is sharper than any two-edged sword. It pierces even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of joints and [their] marrow, and [is] able to discern thoughts and intentions of [the] heart." --Hebrews 4:12

"There is not a creation that is not manifest to his sight, but all things are naked and openly exposed to the eyes of him with whom we have an accounting." -- Hebrews 4:13

However, there are specific ways that people of various religions differ in the way they offer prayers, including those who can neither hear with their ears, nor speak with their lips.
Are all such prayers heard by God?

One being deaf, &/or, mute is not an impediment to prayer, when offered to Jehovah God. In fact, he has plans worked out to restore such one's hearing & speech!
