The God Who Listens

Prayer, Presence, and Communion with God

Andrés Morantes · June 10, 2025

Thirty portraits of biblical prayer — some triumphant, many desperate, a few nearly silent — each closing with a full prayer written for a real human situation, from fear and guilt to healing and persecution.

About the Book

Prayer is not a technique, a mood, or a private discipline; it is genuine, two-way communion with a Person who is actually present, actually listening, and actually moved by what is brought to Him.

Each chapter builds around one biblical figure engaged in prayer — Hannah in her anguish, Elijah in his exhaustion, Daniel in his exile, Jesus in Gethsemane — drawn from every major section of Scripture, and closes with an extended prayer anchored line by line in cited biblical texts.

More than a study to read once, this is a companion to return to: open to whatever chapter matches whatever you are actually carrying on a given day.
