True repentance involves a change of heart and action, not just emotional regret. God's Sovereignty in Judgment God’s refusal to listen to the Israelites' cries highlights His sovereignty and justice. He is not swayed by mere emotions but looks for true repentance and faith. The Role of Faith in Prayer Faith is crucial in our relationship with God. Without faith, it is impossible to please Him, and our prayers may go unheard.
