How can God hear your prayers, especially those uttered only in silence?

The answer is in both God’s omniscience and His omnipresence. Although God is indeed on His heavenly throne, He is also right here! We are not praying to a God that is a long way off somewhere in heaven. God is everywhere. He is right beside you. The next time you pray, imagine that you are praying (talking), to your father (God), who is sitting across from you, listening to your every word. Make your prayer a personal conversation with God.
