Difficulties in moments of prayer.

God speaks to us in his word and teaches us that we can have direct communication with God through Jesus Christ, nothing and no one can prevent our access to God through prayer.
For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, 16 that he may give you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with power in the inner man by his Spirit; 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, so that, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 you may be fully able to understand with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height, 19 and know the love of Christ, which surpasses all knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
20 And to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church in Christ Jesus throughout all ages, forever. the centuries. Amen.
Ephesians 3:14-21
My question is this: when we pray, do we believe that God will answer our prayer or do we still have doubts that our words will be heard by God and that he will respond?
There are times when the simplest thing is the biggest obstacle to having moments of prayer towards God, for example: there is a time when we want to pray but our concentration is dispersed, this makes our communication with God difficult. Our mind begins to wander everywhere and we lose concentration easily, for this it is necessary that we understand and be fully aware that we are talking to the creator of the heavens and the earth, that we can take into account love and power. of God, which is not a simple repetition of words, we are speaking with the highest authority of all time and of all creation, our dad.
There are times when we are very focused but another obstacle that prevents us from focusing on prayer is that sensation or feeling of feeling unworthy to talk to God. It is a feeling of guilt that comes from sin and we are tempted to not want to talk to God out of shame. God wants to listen to us, his ear is always inclined and attentive to our cry, he wants us to sincerely present before him all our faults, to expose our sins, our faults, our errors, to light. We as human beings can never be worthy of being in the presence of the perfect God, but let us remember that the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ is what has justified us and what has made us accepted in the beloved, thanks to the act of redemption. of Our Lord Jesus Christ today we have free entry before the throne of God.
16 Let us therefore draw near boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Hebrews 4:16
