How do you talk to God?

[rjc]

EagerBeaver's post got me to thinking about how I pray. There are times when there is very special urgent request that I get on my knees and pray the way my parents taught us. Mostly though, I just talk to God as if He was sitting on my back porch swing with a cup of coffe and talking with me as my most trusted and best friend because He is that. I talk to Him about my day, anything that is weighing on my mind. Also, I talk to Him about the good things that have happened, about my hopes and dreams. I ask His advice and blessings on things I want to do. I like to share all the good and happy times with God, not just the troubled times. I have a lot of good friends but my best friend is and has always been God and I thank Him every day for that.

Infrequently.

To me, it isn't so important as to HOW I talk with Him, but that I talk with him... and most important - that I listen.

With that said, God meets and ministers to me on every level (Father, Friend, Brother, Counselor, you name it) as I talk with him each day. It seems that most often, I am the son, ashamed of my failure, and not wanting to disappoint, just in need of a hug that says, "Don't worry. It's alright. You are still my special boy."

I talk to him like I talk to everyone else. When I am frustrated, I yell. When I am happy, I talk all perky like. When I am sad, I cry. He can take what many others can't.

Well I do a lot of talking, crying, grieving, explaining, asking, reasoning and all sorts of emotional and non emotional forms of communication.

The problem is.

It's always so quiet on the other end.

Been there, done that, burned the Tshirt.

Silence isn't the absence of presence.

as an attitude and paradigm within a thought process; communication can be verbal, non-verbal, emotional, or non-emotional. Prayer from me, may be by wrote, or ad-hock; may verbose or terse, but it always will include thanksgiving, and praise.

I talk to God while delivering mail, often praying for some of the people I see.

Just pray for him, Cats, he often jabbers in a foreign tongue. A side-effect of too much bacon, I think.

With great respect from a heart filled with gratitude and praise. "If you knew what He brought me through, you'd know why I praise Him."
