(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...

Hi Lord...

It's a beautiful day today, thanks to you Father...

Actually whether it's sunny or cloudy, raining or snowing, it's always a beautiful day...the weather is given by you Lord to nourish and sustain us...thank you.

That's why I take refuge in you; you've got control over everything (even though it may not look like it from our persepctive); you save me from my enemies, whether the enemy is within me, or outside of me...

The Prince of Darkness is always present, seeking to cut me off from you...
Get to know Satan secret weapons against you here...

But I believe that you are there for me Lord...

When I know you are with me, I also know I am connected to you. I know that I have a spiritually intimate relationship with you Father.

If I have done wrong to anyone intentionally or unintentionally, I know that you correct me in your own way.

I am also mature enough to ask for forgiveness which is heartfelt and sincere...

I know you are the boss, the Father. I also know that you do bring justice to those who love you, and you do defend us against the evildoings of others.

Continue to probe my heart and mind Father...

Keep knowing me, and seek out my sincere heart Father because I love the fact you are my shield and my sword; that you defend me with your weapons...

I declare my confidence entirely your ability Father, that my enemies who lay traps for me fall into them themselves;

Any evil plots against me in mind, word, and deed will fall onto my enemies' heads...all I can do is be amazed and humbled by your miraculous intervention Lord...

With speechless awe, I will always thank you Lord...you're so awesome...!
