I am saying that according to the LORD, he does not listen to the prayers of sinners. He does listen to the prayers of the righteous, such as in the case of Elijah. Apart from that, you are on your own. You can make war on your own terms with depression and disease, for your "shepherds" (Rabbis) are not healing you (Ezekiel 34:4).
The Lord is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous.
Thus says the Lord concerning this people: “They have loved to wander thus; they have not restrained their feet; therefore the Lord does not accept them; now he will remember their iniquity and punish their sins.” The Lord said to me: “Do not pray for the welfare of this people. Though they fast, I will not hear their cry, and though they offer burnt offering and grain offering, I will not accept them. But I will consume them by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence.”
When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not listen; your hands are full of blood.
If one turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.
