God Hears Your Heart's Desire
Commentators highlight that God hears the "desire" of the humble, not just formally spoken prayers. Scholars like John Gill note that even the secret, unexpressed longings of a believer's heart are known and regarded by God. This shows that prayer is fundamentally about the posture of your heart toward Him.
