Does the proverbial bear...................in da woods.....
Sure God hears individual prayer.........numerous scriptures point to this...one was quoted above about entering into your own closet, praying in secret and God rewarding and answering in a very public way.....
ALL things are naked and open unto the one to whom we have to give an account....he SEES and HEARS everything!

listening is a 'higher form of ART'...hearing is like a 'dance' -
people 'always' give themselves away by their 'words' -
for it is written:
'Out of the mouth proceeds the abundance of the heart'...
it takes the 'patience' of 'listening' to 'others', even if they 'ramble',-
because then we will learn the 'true-contents-of-the-heart'...
this is God's Universal Law; the ART comes when we learn how to apply the principles thereof...

Absolutely!
For the past five years, I asked God for a new pickup truck (mine is 25 years old). I finally thought that he was going to give me a new truck. I got the money ready, started looking at the latest models, and finally convinced Mama that it was time. We got in her car, and on the way to the dealership, her car's engine froze up. You guessed it. God told me to keep driving my old pickup and buy Mama a new car. I went home, thanked God for a truck that runs and gets me where I need to go, and Mama's new car that takes both of us everywhere else.
When I think about God's answer to prayer, I always remember Luke 22-31. The ESV titles the scriptures "Don't be Anxious".

Jesus validates that God the Father will hear your prayers even if you prayed alone secretly in the closet.
Matthew 6:[SUP]5 [/SUP]And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.[SUP]6 [/SUP]But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

Cornelius prayers came up as a memorial before God because of his good works, and he was seeking the one true God in an nation of polytheists. So much so that God justified him and called him a devout man (his heart was pure towards God in accordance with what knowledge he possessed at the time)....God does not hear the prayers of active sinners though..A sinners prayer is never heard, but a repented sinner whose heart has come clean with God like the publican are heard..If the heart harbours any resentment or guile God does not hear those prayers...
if you have faith, then your never alone. (some call this born again)
if you have a new teacher in you, then 1 will always be 2 , so now 2 are now gathered , etc
yet praying for the correct things , would lead to answered prayer.
for example
Ask, and It Will Be Given
7 "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.9 Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent?11 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!Matthew 7
how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
