"The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them." Psalm 145: 18, 19
Psalm 145 is just a wonderful Psalm of praise written by King David. Throughout this Psalm he not only praises God but tells why he is praising him. Actually that is an important aspect of praise, when we acknowledged something about the person we are praising, why they are worthy of praise.
When you praise God be specific, what is it about his nature you are praising? Or what has he done for you that caused you to pause and give him praise?
Verses 18, 19 are both a promise and a teaching. If you ever wonder if God hears you, know that he does, at least when we are sincere and honest. We can't come to God with hidden agendas or false pretense. It doesn't work any way since God sees right through us.
God knows our heart, he knows our intentions. When we truly come seeking him he is there for us. He fulfills the desires of those who fear him. Don't come with selfish desires, only full of yourself. We need to empty us of us, and seek God. When we do that he not only hears us, but fills us.
