God does not consider prayer because of the person, but because of His Word and obedience to it....Let this be the first and most important point, that all our prayers must be added and rest upon obedience to God, regardless of who we are, whether we are sinners or saints, worthy or unworthy....He will not allow our prayers to be in vain or lost. For if He did not intent to answer your prayers, He would not ask you to pray and add such a severe commandment to it.
~BOC, LC, III, 16-18
