Does Anyone Hear Prayers?

Prayers cannot do any real good unless they are heard.  When a person prays,  he evidently believes that someone in the invisible spirit realm hears.  However, prayers are not transmitted by mere sound waves.  Many people believe that someone can even read the thoughts of the one praying.  Who might that be?

Just how thoughts originate in the billions of neurons that compose the cerebral cortex of our brain is largely a mystery to researchers.  Reasonably, though, the One who designed the brain can read such thoughts.  That one is none other than our Creator,Jehovah God.  (Psalm 83:18; Revelation 4:11) Prayers should be directed to him.  But does Jehovah pay attention to all such prayers?
