(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,

I am detecting challenges in my life...issues at work, some personal issues, thoughts of doubt about myself, a bit of insecurity...

I sense fear trying to overwhelm me...

A sense of emptiness and lack of ambition hovering over me, waiting patiently to find an opening in me and invade my spirit...

The sense of loss, the potential of falling behind in my progress...

The common denominator: losing control in everything and drifting without purpose, without meaning...

My daily prayer this morning Father is about detection...

I detect a certain weakness in my thoughts...

I detect weakness...discouragement...

I detect that the Evil One, the devil, is seeking out an open window to invade me and destroy me from within...

But I declare this morning that I do see it...

And as I get closer to the day we set aside to remember what you did for us Lord (Christmas), I declare in your name and the name of Jesus one word:

Victory!

I declare Victory today Lord!

I stand victorious because I have detected clandestine attacks from Satan...

You've shown me how to detect them...

(Read the book "The Defeat Of Satan: Satan's Weapons Of Total Chaos...Exposed" and find out how...free book)

And by your Word Father, I can declare victory over all circumstances in my life...

And I do it by being tuned-in to you Father...

I am mindful of you...

I am reaching out to you in body-mind-soul...

Reaching out to you with purpose, with meaning...

A sincere and heartfelt outreach...

I am sending out my signal to you Lord, a signal of longing to make spiritual contact...

I know that I am already connected to you...I just need to dial you up, send my signal to your channel...

I also understand how the Evil Enemy tries to bring me down with his secret weapons...

I know you sense my pain and worry...

You know my circumstances every day...I just need to acknowledge that you are there and no  longer worry about anything because you are already taking care of it...

All I need to do is acknowledge that fact...the fact that you are here, now, taking care of me...

And all things will fall into place...

I declare Father that you are here this morning and all day, with me, and everyone else...

I declare that you are taking care of all things for me while I maintain my signal to you, tuned-in to you Lord...

You are showering me with healing, God-given grace, improving my life, with Jesus looking on...

It is not by my own hand that things are falling into perfect balance...

It is you who puts my life into perfect balance Lord...all I do is stay tuned-in to you and rejoicing the fact that you showed me how...

Your Spirit shed light on my understanding of this, and now I see it...

I send you my heartfelt gratitude as I start of my day with such fantastic revelation...

Thanks Lord!
