Just a conversation

Prayer is a conversation with God. Think about having a conversation
with your best friend. Do you ask him/her for stuff, or do you just
chit chat (sometimes) or do you tell your best friend all your secrets?
What response do you expect? That person might hug you or tell you that
they love you. They might cry with you or laugh with you, or they might
be preoccupied and tell you to come back later.

Well, with God, he is always there, he's never too busy. He wants to be
your heavenly best friend. He wants you to bring him near.
Ps 65:4 What joy for those who chose to bring you near, those who live
in your holy courts. What joy awaits us inside your holy temple.

He is a joy to be with and talk to. He will never tell anyone your
secrets. He will listen to you..
Psalm 116:2 Because He bends down and listens, I will pray as long as I
have breath!

He loves you, and he desires to hear your songs to him, your chit chat,
your deepest secrets, your confessions, your praise, and even your
requests.
Ps 42: 8 Through each day the Lord pours his UNFAILING love on me, and
through each night I sing His songs, praying to God who gives me life.

Prayer

God, Best Friend, Thanks for being there for me. Thanks for keeping
all my secret safe in the shadow of your wings. I love to be with you.
I know I can't touch you physically, but when I pray, our souls touch.
You surround me with your unfailing love and fill me with your peace. I
lift up songs of joy to you and want to be ready to hear you speak to
me. Give me your ears so I can focus on what you have for me to do. I
am still and know that you are God, the joy of my salvation, the Light
that never goes out, the Prince of Peace.

Have a great day and thanks for hanging out with me. The best part is
you never leave me. I'm never lonely.
