(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...

Father,

My first thoughts this morning are on you, even when my eyes are still closed...

My gratitude goes out to you Father for letting me once again alive another day, as if I am reborn...

I immediately tune-in to you as I take refuge in your spiritual warmth...my daily prayer communications go out to you like a radio-signal, tuned-in and heartfelt...

I thank Jesus for showing me how to do it...

I know that no enemy today, or any day, can affect me with their thoughts, words, and deeds...

No circumstance is impossible to overcome...all earthly challenges can be overcome with you Father...

I know that oftentimes there are situations I feel are difficult and impossible to solve...what can a righteous person do in that case...?

I know that the Prince of Evil sometimes stacks-up bad circumstances against me at every chance he gets in order to cut me off from you Father...

I know you are watching me from your throne...you see it all Lord...

You see the good and the bad, the righteous intentions and the wicked ones.

You know which are sincere intentions and which ones are hypocritical...

I also know that you hate what the wicked do, and you do recompense them accordingly with your own justice Father...

I just simply watch with amazement at your works, and I am deeply grateful...

Just wanted to share that with you Lord...
