(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 God,

I'd want to start my daily communication prayer this Saturday morning with a thank you for being with me...

You have not abandoned me...you defend me...

You stuck with me, even when I don't think of you...because you already know that I will come back to  you...

It isn't done on purpose Father...I get distracted with life's circumstances and it takes my concentration away from you sometimes...

But I am conscious that I am away from you...I detect it...

You have trained me Lord to remain in contact with you...even without words Lord, I send out a signal from my soul out to you...

My own spirit has been activated Lord, a constant beacon sending out a signal to you Father...

It is a signal of longing, of desire just to be in contact with you spiritually...to be tuned-in to you...

And I am tuned-in to you Father, 24/7...

Even though distractions and complications try to get in the way, I remember Lord...

I remember our spiritual, personal relationship...

Even when the Evil One tries to break me away from you, I remain in-tune with you...or at least I know how to get back to you...

(Satan uses secret weapons against you. Find out for yourself what they are...free book)

I know Father that you remain faithful to me...even though I may not be faithful to you all the time...

You know my heart Father...I play no tricks with you...if I am distracted away from you, it is not by choice...

My human side sometimes gets distracted...

I think you know my heart Lord...

You still remain faithful to me, I see it in my daily life, the goodness that comes my way...you defend me...

I am not rich, but you always supply what I need...generous supply...

You keep me healthy and strong...

You set my mind to be strong, to do the right things so that your blessings can come through...

You keep me on the right track because I desire to be on the good side...and you help me with more blessings, more favor and increase...

You also keep me watchful for circumstances that can disconnect me from you Lord...

You trained me well Father, yet I am not perfect...that's my fault, sorry about that...

As my body needs food to live, you also supply my soul with spiritual nourishment...

Yes Lord, you are the fuel that keeps me going...

With your support Father, I am able to go through life fearless and with humble gratitude to you...

I can enjoy life the way you want me to...not crazy, drunk and sinful, but enjoy its fullness...

I can go biking, swimming, skiing, watch a movie, go to a restaurant...it's all good, and done in the way that it does not disconnect me from you...

I am so pumped up when I live this way, with you beside me...

I feel alive and three-dimensional...

Problems never stop, but you are there with me forever Father...I just need to be sure I am tuned-in to you...

Thanks Lord!
