(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...

Good Morning Lord!

Thank you for a good night's rest.

I know that even as I sleep, you are taking care of me, blessing me, protecting me, replenishing me...preparing me for the new day...

The stresses of life may try to rise up against me Lord, this I know.

It is normal for a working person as myself to be confronted with daily challenges...but my mind remains at peace as I handle whatever task comes my way Lord.

I know you listen to me Lord...you do answer any all my distresses in your own way Father...

People out there would love to put me down, enjoy to live in delusions and false self-images that amount to nothing...

But I will not base myself on the delusions of others Lord. I know you are keeping me under your wing...I know you listen to me as I reach out to you with a pure and child-like heart...

In the best of my ability I will neither transgress you God in thought, word, or deed; nor will I transgress my brothers and sisters to the best of my abilities.

Kindly forgive me if I do so, should that occassion arise. I carry no ill will against anybody...

I am aware that the Spirit of Darkness lurks about to sabotage my communication to you, but I will remain steadfast (see The Defeat Of Satan)

I will keep my heart silent and keep my communication line open to you...my heart is our contact point between you and I Lord. I will keep my heart as silent as I can from the evil temptations and distractions of daily life...at the same time remain a person of excellence in your sight.

In this way, I know my Love that you will bring me prosperity...

You will shine the brightest Holy Light upon me...

I know that thru you alone Lord I will dwell in safety this day.
