O you who hear prayer, to you all men will come. (Psalm 65:2)
For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer. (1 Peter 3:12)
Know that the LORD has set apart the godly for himself; the LORD will hear when I call to him. (Psalm 4:3)
The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. (Psalm 145:18)
If one studies the lives of the three men of the 19th century who had the most influence toward the general acceptance of evolution and deep time (Charles Lyell, Charles Darwin and Thomas Huxley), it will become clear that one common denominator for all three was their rejection of the personal God. They did not come to believe God was near to them, that God listened to prayer or that God was in control. Huxley even wrote that he thought it was not possible to know if there was a God, an indication of his rejection of the Bible.
The tragedy is not only the effect their unbelief had on them and their families and friends, but the resulting effect on millions upon millions of others who have since accepted their “science.”
The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them, he delivers them from all their troubles. The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. (Psalm 34:17-18)
