For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, And his ears open to their prayer; But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."
his ears are open to their prayer (for various needs and cares). This does not mean that God keeps obedient believers from suffering (cf. 1 Peter 2:19-23; 1 Peter 3:14, 1 Peter 3:17; 1 Peter 4:12-19) but that God will provide his grace “to strengthen and establish” believers in the midst of suffering (1 Peter 5:10) and in times of great need (cf. 2 Corinthians 12:9; Hebrews 4:16). - ESVSB
