See Good Days

1 Pet. 3:9-12
"not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing. For 'He who would love life and see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit. Let him turn away from evil and do good; Let him seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their prayers; But the face of the LORD is against those who do evil.' "

Here Peter is quoting Ps. 34 to emphasize that the Old Testament teachings support the New Testament commands just listed.

To "turn away from evil and do good" is to REPENT. We are to seek peace and pursue it (go after it), for blessed are the peacemakers.

So whose prayers does God hear?
