Communicate With Him
Philippians 4:6-7 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
Emails are a great way to share information quickly and efficiently but have experienced a time when sending an email was not the best form of communication? Perhaps the content was dealing with complex thoughts and emotions. Often the tone of our communication impacts how it is received. I have, for many years, felt that in person or even phone calls or FaceTime are the most important ways to communicate to stay connected.
Have you ever felt that your prayers to God are more like emails - sharing information with God, rather than personal conversations?
Our heavenly Father wants to speak with us in a more immediate, personal way. We need to talk with Him daily; sharing what is on our minds and hearts. When we do, we’ll find that conversing with Him becomes easier over time. Then prayer will be as natural as speaking with a friend—the best One we’ll ever have.
Lord, teach me to pray, so that I will lean to truly share my mind and heart with You. In the Name of Jesus, my dearest Friend, I pray. Amen.
