Is there scriptural support for the "skeptic's prayer" as a legitimate plea that God might be open to answering?

The "skeptic's prayer" was relatively recently brought to my attention by an [answer](https://philosophy.stackexchange.com/a/104847/66156) to [one](https://philosophy.stackexchange.com/q/104798/66156) of my questions on Philosophy Stack Exchange: > More in the vein of Schellenberg's argument above, I hope that I am sufficiently nonresistant to allow for more personal, direct conversion by God. I have said the **"skeptic's prayer"** sincerely at many points in my life but have yet to cross over to true belief (vs just motivated hope). Different versions of the "skeptic's prayer" are available on several websites. Some examples I quickly found: > 'God, I don't know whether you even exist. I'm a skeptic. I doubt. I think you may be only a myth. But I'm not certain (at least when I'm completely honest with myself). So, if you do exist, and if you really did promise to reward all seekers, you must be hearing me now. So I hereby declare myself a seeker, a seeker of truth, what-ever it is. I want to know the truth and live the truth. If you are the truth, please help me.' ([source](http://www.withoutexcusecreations.net/the-honest-skeptics-prayer/)) > Hello God. Honestly, I don’t know if you are real or if I am talking > to myself. People say this, others say that. I don’t know what to > think about you, if there is a you, and all those big questions > regarding life, the universe and everything. > > What can I know about you? How can I know you? Who is worthy of trust > in this world of confusion and betrayal? > > If you are there, If I am not just talking to myself, touch me for a > moment, so that I may find you, wherever you are, and whoever you may > be. > > Maybe if you will trust me a little, Give me a little mercy in my > confusion, I could learn to trust you too.

In the > meantime, I’ll just wait and see what happens. One more thing. What > does this Jesus fellow have to do with this? > > Ok I’m done praying. What’s the word for the end of a prayer – Amen, > that’s what the church people say. Someone told me it means “so be > it.” I want this to be in my life, whatever this may turn out to be. > So I say Amen. > > We say "Amen" with you too. ([source](http://www.epiphanyokc.com/a-skeptics-prayer)) Is there scriptural support for God being willing to answer the prayers of an open-minded skeptic who sincerely seeks a divine response, hoping that it would confirm to their satisfaction that God is real, if that is indeed the case? And as a follow-up question, would a prayer like this work even in more extreme cases, such as the examples of non-believers referenced in my previous question *https://christianity.stackexchange.com/q/99650/61679* ?
