This month, I'll be taking time to give more explanations on Bible verses i post in here.
This Bible verse talks about how God's hand isn't shortened (literally), that he's capable of helping us of our needs neither is his ears shut from our requests /prayers.
But There's a barrier/veil/obstacle between us and God that is causing him not to hear, see or even answer our requests, and that barrier is SIN.
1 John 1:9 says, "If we confess our sins, he(God) is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness".
That up there "Repentance" is the only way we can remove that barrier called SIN between us and God.
