2 - God not only hears our prayers but responds.

3 - This is because you are very precious to God.

4 -
God desires to impart spiritual insight, wisdom, and understanding to us.

5 - The prescribed and only method by which we can receive this divine revelation of spiritual wisdom and understanding is by cultivating a lifestyle of seeking the Lord sincerely through prayer and regularly practicing the other spiritual disciplines.
