God was hearing each prayer – along with millions of others being lifted to Him around the world in many different languages.

As the religious leaders prayed, "their voice was heard; and their prayer came up. . . to heaven" (v. 27).

The knowledge that He always hears

Should cause us to rejoice. – Sper
