(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...

Hello Father,

My daily communication prayer to you today is not too complicated...

Today, Sunday, I just want to say thank you for being there for me...

I also want to thank you for all the brothers and sisters in Christ who are also running the good race of faith as I do...

But my thankfulness does not stop there Lord...

I want to thank you for the people who have contributed to our progress in life: the teachers, the doctors, the politicians, the accountants, the nurses, the architects, the secretaries, the janitors, the computer developers, the police, the army, the pilots, the warehouse workers, the construction guys, the firemen, etc...I thank you for them all for serving our society and community with their energy...

I pray for their well-being and hope that they too have been touched by the seed of Jesus so that they can enter into your house Father to enjoy a close personal relationship with you...

I thank the businesspersons, car dealers, the mechanics, the parts suppliers, the manufacturers...etc, all people from all walks of life I thank you for being there...

It doesn't matter if I know them personally or not...it doesn't matter; I only hope that they too feel the closeness of your love Lord, and feel your Spirit rushing through them as I had felt...

I declare this day then that your Spirit be felt by everyone on the planet, and that with this rush of your Holy Spirit, all shall feel the remarkable ease of entering your domain through Jesus...the Simplifier, the Uncomplicator of the complicated...

That's all for today Father as I celebrate you one more day...
