“Whoever stops his ear to the cry of the poor will also cry and will not be heard” (Prov. 21:13).
And we often wonder why God doesn’t listen to our prayers? That's the reason! Because there were, it is true, cases when we stopped our ears from the speeches with which the needy belittled us; So the Lord doesn’t hear us. But this is not a great grief if a prayer for something temporary is not heard, but grief if the Lord does not listen to us when we begin to pray to Him for the forgiveness of our sins. But it will not happen if the cry to Him of those who are despised by us is stronger than our prayers. We must hasten to avert this extreme misfortune following the example of Zacchaeus, to whom the Lord said for his wise decisions: “Today salvation has come to this house” (Luke 19:9).
