Dear friends,

I am looking for some Reformed historical testimony regarding the prayers of the unregenerate covenant child. I contend that while the Lord hears every whisper and thought uttered on this earth, He on the other hand does not hear the prayer of the unconverted in a favourable way. The reason; this prayer is not mediated through the cross work of Jesus Christ. I believe this to be true of not only Joe Pagan's prayer, but also of the prayer of my unconverted child (even though they are Baptized covenant members of the visible Church). From my fellow Reformed & Presbyterian brethren, am I missing something when I say that God does not hear the prayer of our children before they are regenerate?
I'd like some links posted if this topic has been discussed before, or some exposition posted by other Reformed authors in which speak to this issue.

Thanks in advance.
