(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...

Lord Father God, I'm feeling good today, thanks to you.

I'm feeling good because of my expectation that you are pouring blessings and favor into my life and into those who I love...

I also remain in hopeful expectation that the rest of the world will turn to you for the same blessings that we in Christ enjoy...

I am aware Father that in spite of the blessings that I enjoy from you, the dark forces will continue to try to disconnect  me from your love by setting up circumstances to break me away from you...

The enemies who are knowingly or unknowingly inspired by the dark prince (Satan) continue to plot against me...the enemies can either be random circumstances designed to unbalance my life or actual persons...

Either way, the objective is the same: to keep me away from enjoying your miracles in my life.

(check out The Defeat Of Satan)

But I know Father, in spite of my occassional doubts, that you shield me...

I know Lord that you are listening to my sincere heart, and you do answer me in your own way that best suits me...

With this hope and expectation I go to sleep at night, and with the same expectation I wake up knowing that you are with me...

I will no longer be afraid of any of my enemies who are poised to strike against me in thought,word, or deed, because you are my defender Lord. You strike back at my enemies, destroying them, neutralizing their plans...you even make them fall into their own traps that they set against me.

I have seen your works in action, and I am both amazed and grateful...

I know that you deliver me (and continue to deliver) from all evil with your awesome blessings Lord.
