God Wants Us To Communicate With Him

Evening and morning, and at noon, I will pray and cry aloud; and He shall hear my voice. – Psalm 55:17

I’ve had so many times in my life when either:

1) I was hesitant to talk to God; and/or
2) I didn’t want to tell Him about my heart’s desires.

I was hesitant to talk to God because, being God, He knew everything—what I was thinking and how I’m feeling. So I though to myself, Why do I still have to tell Him? He knows already! Praying seemed to make no sense at all.

I didn’t want to tell God about my heart’s desires because I was shy—I felt like I was asking for too much. So I thought that I don’t deserve to ask for more.

And so, I ceased praying.

Little did I know that those false beliefs led me to become indifferent towards God. They became the barriers in order for me to actually desire to communicate with Him.

Yes, it is true that God knows everything. But He still wants us to tell Him what we’re thinking, how we’re feeling, what we’re going through, and what our hearts’ desires are.

You must be familiar with the so-called mother’s instinct. That certain intuition that mothers have that something is bothering her child. That intuition which tells her that something is not right. Even if we refuse to let her know about it (My mom has this all the time). And although she may have the slightest idea of what we’re going through, at the back of her mind, she is wishing that we would let her know what’s going on. It is because of her love for her child—she wants to be a part of her child’s life and do her part as a mom.

The same is true with God. And although His is not just merely intuition, He wants us to voice them out to Him—what we’re thinking, how we’re feeling, what we’re going through, and what our hearts’ desires are. He wants us to communicate with Him, let Him into our lives, and make Him our Father. He is patiently waiting for us to come to Him… always.

And because God is God and is without limitations, He will never get tired of listening to us. And He is always available anywhere, anytime, any day.

Talk to God today and let Him embrace you with His unconditional love.

Take care and God bless! :-)

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. – Matthew 7:7-8
