(Daily prayer follows after this short introduction)

What kind of prayers does God listen to?

Prayers for strength...requests for good health... for healing... for a happy marriage... help for a loved one... help for your finances... for a better life...a stable life...a peaceful life... to save your relationship...find someone special for you...to deal with any personal problem... help you with your fears... your anxieties...your loneliness...help you control your emotions (such as anger, hate, jealousy, envy, apathy, depression...etc.)...your disappointments...addictions (whether it's drugs, alcoholism, obsessive spending...etc.)...??

What if I were to tell you that He listens to none of that, would it shock you or even surprise you?

I hope not.

First, God listens to your heartfelt desire to communicate with Him because you love Him as your Father; words without faithful love for Him mean nothing...so speaking to God because you want something for yourself means nothing...

Secondly, when you love God, you don't "pray" to Him, like some kind of formality...communicate with Him as someone you genuinely love...

This is what Daily Communication Prayer to God is all about; to teach you how to communicate with the Lord the way he wants to hear from you...

(Evening prayer communication)

Father, before I head off to sleep, I just want to thank you for a beautiful day today.

I basked in your blessings and favor...and the dark forces were kept afar, although they tried to infiltrate my life...they failed to take away my joyful bliss...

You remained a shield that protected my connection to you Lord...

You've listened to my sincere heart, and you blessed it today...no enemies ever showed up, even as far as the horizon...you kept them at a distance.

I thank you for that Lord...

Without my knowing, you had arranged in advance the dispersal of my adversaries, whoever they may be (physical, spiritual, psychological)...

They have fallen into their own traps of deceit and evil plots...

You have taken action behind the scenes Lord, much to my amazement and gratitude...

You've delievered me Father from all evil with your powerful hand...

I hope that the world finds the same contact as I have with you Lord, in Jesus' (our liberator) name...

Good night Lord. Talk again tomorrow.
