Question

God invites us to pray
God is faithful to hear and answer our prayers
Jesus Christ made atonement for our sin
God is a good father

Answer 1

You can confidently pray for the following reasons:

1. God invites us to pray
2. God is faithful to hear and answer our prayers
3. Jesus Christ made atonement for our sin
4. God is a good father
5. We are God’s children

The option "we deserve to have our prayers heard and answered" does not align with the general theological understanding of prayer, as it emphasizes merit rather than the grace and goodness of God.
