As Christians we find a way for our prayers to be heard by God. It works this way: by our belief and love for His Son, Jesus Christ we please Him. It is Christ who presents our prayers to the Father. All of this is made possible by the Holy Spirit who connects us immediately with our LORD:
1 Timothy 2
A Call to Prayer
1First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be offered for everyone— 2for kings and all those in authority—so that we may lead tranquil and quiet lives in all godliness and dignity. 3This is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 4who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
5For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6who gave Himself as a ransom for all—the testimony that was given at just the right time.
7For this reason I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a faithful and true teacher of the Gentiles. I am telling the truth; I am not lying about anything. 8Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or dissension.
When you have a need, God knows. When you want to communicate heart to heart, God knows. Jesus said:
Matthew 6:8
...for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
