Isaiah 59:1,2 says, "Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save, or his ear dull, that it cannot hear;but your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you so that he does not hear."

He only promises to hear the prayers of those whose sins have been forgiven. Jesus died as a sacrifice to obtain that forgiveness. Only those who have received that forgiveness through faith in him have any assurance that God will hear their prayers.
