Through prayer, we can communicate with our Heavenly Father. He’s anxious to guide and help us.
Hi friend. God certainly listens to the prayers of all His children. Anyone can pray and ask for a blessing on behalf of the sick or troubled. Praying for others is an excellent act of charity.

However, to give a formal priesthood blessing requires authority and worthiness. To be worthy of the priesthood, men must strive to keep God's commandments, including the commandment to attend church whenever possible. If a formal priesthood blessing is needed, it's best to search for an active member of the church who's worthy of his priesthood.

I hope this answer helps.
