God is powerful. He is in control of the universe, but that it not all. He is not only a power figure; He communicates with us personally. When we have problems, when we need help, we can call on Him and have the assurance that He will answer us personally. He listens to us and helps us. He even listens to us when we don't have a clue what the problem is-when we don't know what to say or how to pray. His Holy Spirit, who lives inside each of us, helps us out, and translates our unintelligible thoughts for us. God is really serious about communicating with us. He wants us to talk to Him, and to listen to Him. In human friendships, we get to know one another by talking about every subject under the sun. We spend time together and discuss the problems that bother us. Building a relationship with God works the same way. If we want to know Him, we have to make a habit about everything with Him. We have to learn to make talking and listening to God our automatic first response to every situation. We have to listen to Him. We already know He listens to us. He is the perfect listener.
Are you committed to spending time in prayer? If this is something that you have a hard time with, try setting up a time to pray for just a few minutes at a time. The more you pray, the more you will want to pray.
