Why pray if your own Bible says God isn’t even listening?

1 John 5:15 says, "And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him."

It’s almost like the holy book contradicts itself

So pray for an end to hunger

If it doesn't happen, you'll know if he hears you

If you would read your Bible, God's son told us to feed the poor or hungry. If you would read the Bible and use your brain, the word of God says faith without works is dead. I pity your ignorance lol indeed the word of God says "mypeople perish for lack of knowledge"

Why doesn't god feed the poor and hungry?

There has been no day like it before or since, when the LORD heeded the voice of a man, for the LORD fought for Israel. Joshua 10:14
Umm did you even bother to know what that verse actually said.....maybe your slow try re reading it

It’s “hearkened unto the voice of man”.

Hearkened means listen...you know that's how we got the word Hear from Hear-kened, are you slow? I don't mean to be rude, it's okay to be slow, I hope you understand soon old sport, wouldn't want you to look like a fool, if you would take the time to carefully examine the scripture old chap, it pretty much says, God heared the voice of man, if you would of read joshua 10:12 -14 as well joshua asked God to make the sun stand still aka a (prayer), and God listened hope you understand that. Anyways any book taken out of context can sound contradicting, in your case you fail miserable lol amusing for me so ty old sport. Btw the reason for verse in the bible was for not losing your place in group study or independent, back then it was writing in a lo g one piece scroll, thought you'd know well God bless thee ta ta!

It says there has been no day like it when the lord listened to the voice of man. And you have the gall to call me slow. Wow.
