We know God knows our desires because Scripture assures us of His omniscience and care for our hearts.
The certainty that God knows our desires is grounded in His omniscience. Psalm 139 beautifully expresses this, where David acknowledges that God has searched and known him completely. In Psalm 38:9, the psalmist affirms that, 'all my desire is before Thee,' indicating that even unspoken prayers and longings are laid bare before God. This knowledge is comforting because it assures us that our struggles and heartfelt desires are not overlooked; instead, they are seen by the One who cares for us. Furthermore, as believers, this knowledge can inspire greater trust in God's responses to our prayers, reminding us that He works all things for our good.
