Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.
James 4:3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.
Job 27:8-10 For what is the hope of the godless when God cuts him off, when God takes away his life? Will God hear his cry when distress comes upon him? Will he take delight in the Almighty? Will he call upon God at all times?
Psalms 18:41 They cried for help, but there was none to save; they cried to the LORD, but he did not answer them.
Proverbs 1:28 Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently but will not find me.
Zechariah 7:13 “As I called, and they would not hear, so they called, and I would not hear,” says the LORD of hosts,
Proverbs 21:13 Whoever closes his ear to the cry of the poor will himself call out and not be answered.
For those who believe and rely on, cling to, and trust in Jesus Christ alone, the Holy Spirit’s help in intercession is perfect because He searches the hearts of those whom He helps, and He is able to guide our prayers according to the will of God. The aching soul of those who humbly surrenders, trust, and has faithful confidence in God will be heard by God even though words fail to come to them to appropriately express their ache, want, hurt, and need. There is comfort in laying this before God. However, this is not so for those who deny any reliance or need of God and His ways. God will not answer them. He closes His ear to them. He will cut them off. They will be left to their own resources, none of which will satisfy their need. Their heartache will not be satisfied. I have to think their heart will become hard and their stance against God more firm. They will avail themselves to be the agent of Satan and do his bidding without giving it a second thought. God does not negotiate His love or His wrath. For those who do not fully surrender to His Holiness, Love, Grace, and Mercy through Jesus Christ, they will receive in full all of God’s wrath. Those who do surrender will receive in full all of God’s love.
