Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I was with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when a man made supplication and said: «يا بديع السماوات يا حي يا قيوم! إني أسألك» "O Originator of the heavens, O Giver of life to all, O Sustainer of all, I ask You." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you know how he supplicated? By the One in Whose hand is my soul, he has called upon Allah by His Name, which, when He is called upon by it, He responds."
