God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

We know God doesn't listen to people who are living in sin, but if someone genuinely worships God and actually follows what he wants, then God hears their prayers.

Did you really bring me sacrifices and offerings during those forty years wandering in the desert, Israel?

When that happens, the worship and offerings from God's people will actually mean something to him again — like how it used to be back in the day when their hearts were really in it.
