God is so powerful he hears our prayers. But does he listen to all prayers ?
For our prayer to be heard by God, we must be trying our best to live by his laws.
Proverbs 28:9 reads: "He that is turning his ear away from hearing the law - even his prayer is something detestable."
Proverbs 15:29: "The Lord is far from the wicked but he heareth the prayer of the righteous."

Here is a qualification from the Lord about whether He hears prayers or not. This is a quote from the Bible. Now I would like to know the difference between sins/iniquities/rebellion/transgressions etc.
Isaiah 59:2
But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
Isaiah 59:1-3 (in Context) Isaiah 59 (Whole Chapter)

Difference between sin, inquities, rebellion, transgressions ? I think all are works against God's law, so no difference; or are I m wrong ?
The bible says,'' You have not, b/c you ask not ''
" Yes, but sometimes The answer is (no). "

Most of my prayers are in Gratitude. I don’t sully my prayers with a flock of requests because if my children talked to me that way they would be attempting to blackmail me with praise as a condition of their gratitude. I offer my ignorance to Father when I am confused. I offer questions when I have not found a satisfactory answer on my own. An admission of ignorance can be the admission of a lazy thinker rather than merely ignorance of what may be possible. So some answers simply redirect our question to an acceptable source and encourages our use of that for the more trivial things that cross our mind. Since we are within God all our thoughts are so obvious that there is nothing hidden from God. Otherwise would suggest that you can keep secrets from the awareness of God and that is not possible. So clean up your mind, you Holy son of God.

And, sometimes, we overlook the prayers he has answered (well, I do anyway).
They know our mind!

My "Life Application Study Bible" explains thus:
"Why does God use the plural form? One view says this is a reference to the Trinity...God the Father, Jesus Christ his Son, and the Holy Spirit...all of whom are God. Another view is that the plural wording is used to denote majesty Kings traditionally use the plural form in speaking of themselves. For Job 33:4 and Psalm 104:30, we know that God's Spirit was present int he Creation. From Colossians 1:16 we know that Christ, God's Son, was at work in the Creation.
This explanation satisfied my question about the reference "our image".
