1 Kings 8:28

“ Yet have you respect to the prayer of your servant, and to his supplication, O YHWH my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which your servant prays before you this day,”

Yet although God was so great and so ‘wholly other' he asked that He would listen to and respond to His servant's prayer and supplication. Note again the threefoldness of his request. ‘have respect to the prayer of your servant', ‘and to his supplications', ‘to listen to the cry and the prayer which your servant prays before you this day'. He was praying from the heart.
