Sometimes I think one of the most difficult aspects of he Christian walk is truly believing and resting in the fact that God hears us when we call/pray. We know in our head that He does and we have probably even experienced obvious answers to our prayers. Yet, many times there is this voice inside of us that finds it hard to trust that He is going to answer us this time. Or maybe it is more that we are concerned that what we are asking for is not in His will and therefore we will be disappointed in "lack of deliverance."
I think for me I long to hear an actual voice of reassurance. Many times I long to have someone come alongside of me and give me that hug that says this is going to be ok and it will be taken care of. In essence, there are times I just wish that I could actually be literally walking with Jesus.
I am not sure where you are in trusting that God hears us when we call but I hope that it is not an issue for you like it is for me. If it is an issue here are some verses that may help both us as we work through this with God.
Jeremiah 33:3
"‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’
Psalm 55:16-17
" As for me, I call to God, and the Lord saves me. Evening, morning and noon I cry out in distress, and he hears my voice."
1 John 5:13-15
"I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him."
