Praying During The Great Tribulation

I just want to know that if we pray to God to help and sustain us during the great tribulation will He still answer our prayers or will the gates of heaven be shut during these times?

Q. I just want to know that if we pray to God to help and sustain us during the great tribulation will He still answer our prayers or will the gates of heaven be shut during these times?

A. Some scholars believe that God will not hear the prayers of the people on Earth during the Great Tribulation. This is based on the view that the prayers of the saints are carried into God’s presence. Rev. 15:8 tells us that no one will be able to enter the Temple in Heaven during the Bowl Judgments. The view has some merit, and God has in the past closed his ears to the prayers of His people (Jeremiah 11:14) But it’s not conclusive in Revelation the way it was in Jeremiah.

If you’re a true believer now you’ll be in Heaven with God during the Great Tribulation so you won’t have to worry.
