Everyone knows that God does not listen to people that go against him and do bad things. But he does listen to people that give him the right respect and do what he says.

James 5:16

So whenever you go wrong and do bad things, don’t try to say that you are still good. No. Tell each other the true story about the bad things that you did. Then you can pray for each other, so that God can make you good again. Whenever a good person prays to God about something, then God uses his power and does whatever that good person asks for.
