One who turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.<\/i><\/p>\n
\u2014Proverbs 28:9<\/p>\n
The only way to pray when disobeying is to repent. Repentance requires not only contrition but also the conviction to stop sinning and start doing what\u2019s right.<\/p>\n
Too often we expect God to hear and answer our prayers when we come to him with dirty hands and hearts. Clean up your act through repentance and obedience. \u201cTherefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God\u201d (2 Cor. 7:1).<\/p>\n
