About knowing God hears you, Part 2 of 3

Psalm 116:2 Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live. (NIV)

Knowing God hears you when you pray is a miraculous gift God gives you. This knowing�this total realization of how small you are, how big the universe is, and how God still hears you even when you are small�this "knowing" is a fantastic experience. In "knowing" you go beyond believing. In "knowing" you have a direct experience or direct contact with God. The experience of knowing is as if God was right next to you in person. In the spiritual reality of all things in our existence, God really IS right next to you in person. Knowing God hears you gives you a power you do not normally have. Knowing God hears you gives you a confidence, a peace, a love, a wisdom, and a certainty about fulfilling God's goal and mission for your life. Knowing God hears you makes all the difference when you hit a difficult place in your life. Knowing God hears you can mean you put whatever is difficult aside. Knowing God hears you personalizes your relationship with Him because He is no longer just "up there." He is over you, under you, beside you, and within you, listening�and you know He is listening�and you know He knows you know He is listening.
