Talking to God Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! PSALM 107:8 KJV When you were very young and first started speaking, did you talk to your parents in long sentences and for great lengths of time? I doubt it. And yet they weren’t disappointed in you; they were delighted by your first attempts to speak. In the same way, when we truly understand that God is our loving heavenly Father and we are His children, then we won’t worry so much about disappointing Him by our prayers. Don’t worry about your lack of eloquence; no matter how simple they are, God delights in our prayers when they truly express the feelings and desires of our heart. If prayer feels uncomfortable to you, begin by thanking God for all He has done for you, and praising Him for His love and goodness. Then confess your sins and ask for His forgiveness. Finally, bring your concerns to Him. You may even find it helpful to keep a list of people for whom you are praying. Remember: Jesus Christ opened Heaven’s door for us by His death on the cross. When we know Him, we can be sure God hears our prayers. Graham, Billy (2008-12-30). Wisdom for Each Day (Kindle Locations 910-922). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.
