You could despair that G‑d won't hear your prayers because you're not good enough for Him.
Or you could celebrate that, as much as you might fail to listen to Him, G‑d never fails to listen to you.
As you decide, so it will be.

Everyone worthy
Mankind has an evil inclination Genesis 4:7 but can overcome it, and be its master. When anyone cries out to HaShem with a broken and contrite heart all will be forgiven. Man must learn to forgive himself.
We are HaShem's inheritance, we simply make ourselves worthy to be claimed.
Focus on the love HaShem has for all mankind.
