The Bible tells us that we are God's precious children, and His greatest desire is for a close relationship with us. Like a loving parent, God is always listening for our cries to Him. The following portions of the Psalms assure us of God's attentive ear. Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you. Psalm 9:10 O LORD, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. . . . you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD. . . .Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? . . . you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. . . . My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. . . . your eyes saw my unformed body. Psalm 139:1-7, 13-16 For he has not despised or disdained the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help. Psalm 22:24 God loves His children so much that He can't help but listen intently to their prayers. If you have any doubt about what it means to be a child of God and to have an intimate relationship with Him, talk to a trusted Christian friend or pastor who can answer your questions and help you grow in this most important relationship.
