Heidelberg Catechism Lord’s Day 45

The LORD is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous. – Proverbs 15:29
If one turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination. – Proverbs 28:9

“Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.” – John 16:23

Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God….Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. – Romans 8:26-27, 34

But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. – James 1:6-8
You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions. – James 4:3
