God will hear when we pray according to His will for our lives.
1 John 5:14-15 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him
This isn’t something we hope might happen or that we can experience occasionally. We can confidently pray, knowing the Lord will hear.
This doesn’t imply that God gives everything we ask for; but that we can have confidence that He will supply our needs when we pray according to His will for our lives.
The key is praying according to the will of God. When we are in His will, our desires will be consistent with His.
