Does God hear all our prayers?
Abstract from the book <Inner Engineering by Sadhguru>:
Once it happened... At a traditional Catholic family dinner, the man of the house came to the table, looked at the food, and, as usual, grumbled and cursed his wife and everything around him.
After the cursing was over and everyone settled down, he sat down and uttered his prayer, "Dear God, thank you for the daily bread and all the wonderful things on the table."
His five year-old girl sat meekly at the table... squeaked, "Daddy, does God hear all our prayers?"
Immediately, the Christian in him awakened and he said, "Yes, of course. Every prayer we utter, He always hears."
Then the girl sank a little lower, because she sank into her thoughts.
After a while, she said, "But, Daddy, does He also listen to all the other things that we say?"
"Yes, every moment of our lives God is listening to everything that we say and do."
Then she sank a little lower and said, "Daddy, then which does He believe?"
