Matthew 7:21 Not everyone saying to me Lord, Lord will enter into the kingdom of the heavens. Then is goes on to say that many who thinks they are right with God he has rejected.
They said they did powerful works in his name. but he said he never knew you. Like the TV evangelists? does he hear their prayers?

God is aware of all prayers.
He does not listen to all prayers.
“Even though you make many prayers, I am not listening; with bloodshed your very hands have become filled.” Thus said almighty God to those who professed to serve him but who were involved in shedding innocent blood.—Isaiah 1:15.

God listens to the prayers of all people who believes in him and sincerely trust in him. A lot of people are being self-righteous when they call on the lord and their prayers I think are prayers that are heard but ignored because they are not sincere. If a wicked person who humbles himself and prays sincerely to our lord, I believe God will listen to him.

Peter 3:12 "For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous , and his ears are open unto their prayers : but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil "... John 9:31 " Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but any man be a worshiper of God and doeth his will, him he heareth ".

Why did the one man answer with self righteous Americans and let the straving children go without prayers.
Why are the children starving in other countries? Is it the US fault that their government will not lift a hand to help feed the starving people in their country?
That in Africa the Islamic forces are using the children for sex slaves and chopping off arms and legs? How is that the US fault? I never can understand the feelings the other countries have for Americans and blame us for the way their govenment treats them? When the people in this country pray for help for all the little children. If that government would allow anyone in there they would get help. So then who's fault is it?
Why do you feel that God would not hear their prayers?
We think that he does? It is their governments who do not hear them. Who do not help them.
Why is it the US fault if there is a starving child in Africa?

I think God hears all of our prayers. I do not think He answers all of our prayers in a positive way. The Bible does say that God answers the prayers of a righteous man.

God knows all things even before you ask. Prayer is not a selfish thing and selfish prayer falls on a deaf ear.

No, He doesn't.
Yes, He turns from the prayers of the wicked.

God hears all prayers and answers them in His own way. He knows what's best for us even when we think we know better than Him. He is all loving and all powerful! PRAISE BE TO GOD! God Bless You!

God hears all our prayers, but he also knows what is in our hearts, such as whether we truly repent or truly live according to his will and such. Lip service means nothing to God if we don't put it into action. God bless.

You’re absolutely right; the rest of the world is wicked.
How dare those starving children across this planet bother your God with requests for mercy when he has more important things to do like listen to self-righteous materialistic American Christians..
I think I'm going to vomit.
