There is no biblical confirmation that Satan can read human thoughts, but he can place thoughts in the heart

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 18) 00:46:39 – 00:48:12

Question from Juliet Isil about whether there is biblical basis for Satan not hearing silent prayers.

Mike observes Scripture shows Satan can insert things into the heart (e.g., John 13:2 — Satan put it in Judas's heart to betray Jesus). The "fiery darts" of Ephesians 6 may include intrusive thoughts. But there is no clear biblical affirmation that Satan can read thoughts out. The question is left somewhat open, though Mike suggests the asymmetry is plausible.
