Les Feldick Bible Study

Can God know what I am thinking?

Yes. God reads human thoughts and knows them completely. Scripture presents the mind as open before Him, and Nehemiah’s silent prayer before the king was seen and heard by God. Nothing can be hidden from Him; He knows every thought.

Les teaches that prayer does not require a prayer closet, a church pew, an altar, or even praying out loud. Nehemiah stood before a powerful king, afraid, and prayed silently. Les explains that God reads our thoughts, and the psalmist says He knows our thoughts like an open book. Nothing can be kept from Him; He knows every thought. God saw and heard Nehemiah’s silent prayer, and as a result Nehemiah was given permission to return to Jerusalem.
