hmmm…..
Yesterday someone asked me how I pray. I am guessing they were wondering how to talk to God. I think it’s about communication. For example, if you withhold your thoughts and feelings with another person, it could be said that you are really being kind of selfish. And that’s the way it is with God, too. When we are too shy to tell God how we really feel, it’s not just about us. It’s about God, too … I mean why would you want to be selfish with God? God is after all, the Great Provider of the universe.
When I was growing up, the prayers I learned were rote and memorized. I had a hard time understanding how God would know that I was concerned about my grandma’s health when I never said her name specifically. Later, I was taught to just talk to Jesus as if he were a friend sitting right across the table from me – and that worked out so much better for me. Now, that’s what I recommend. You can talk to God anytime … he is up all night .. so it doesn’t matter if its late and you can’t sleep … or you are in traffic or bored out of your mind. God doesn’t care …
