Since 'God' is 'all-knowing', he would have knowledge of when you do everything and all of your thoughts as well as everything you say. Consequently, nothing under heaven would be 'private' or omitted from 'God's' attention. There is no 'off' switch, nor is there an 'on' switch.
Since your life and your life's work is a communication to God--your relationship with God starts there. That's why many take holy orders.
But remember, since God is everyone and everywhere, whomever you speak to is God's creation and one of God's children. No matter how terribly you are mistreated by that individual, you should keep God's presence in mind. You are talking to God with everything you say and think. Everything. If he missed anything, he wouldn't be God.

All you have to do is ask him in your heart. Take some time out, turn off the tv, radio, phone, anything that might distract you, and just have an honest one -on-one with him. Okay God, I don't know how to come to you, but I am trying. Ask him into your heart and into your mind. Tell Him everything that you want Him to know. Allow him to direct you from there. I'm not sure which path you will take, but allow God to lead you. If you decide that Christianity is right for you, then get a Bible and start reading the word of God and see what He has to say to you. Find a church or the gathering place for whatever religion you decide so that you can also have spiritual support.
This is an important decision and I will keep you in my prayers.

Your best bet would be look at all major religions critically.
Take a look at various religions' histories - they're pretty brutal. Especially religions in the Judeo-Christian tradition, which are notably intolerant of other faiths and often violently so. The Bible is one of the most racist, sexist, classist books ever written.
If there is an all-powerful god who created everything and knows everything, then doesn't it follow that such a god would act logically and with reason?
Look at how immense the universe is. Today we can look out with telescopes and see galaxies that are hundred of millions of light-years away from us.
When the major religions were born, people believed the sun revolved around the earth. When Galileo dared to challenge this notion with scientific evidence, he was put on trial for his life ... by a church which had the power of life over death in legal matters.
If you want to "know god" your best bet would be to look outside of religious institutions and keep an open mind about scientific advances or theories which challenge religious dogma.
History favors science. Relatively speaking, humanity knows very little ... but religious institutions know even less.

ANSWER: It's good that you belive you can have a relationship with him and he loves that you want to have a friendship with him.......any ways first of all before you become friends with him you have to get to know him like whats his name that might be good, right? and then pray to him for help or thanks thats like the main reason God gave us this priviledge of praying.......but when it comes to conversations just go any where and and talk as if someone were there with you god wont speak back to you but you never know if you take the time to learn about him he will listen to you cause god only listens to the people that put effort into leaning about him if you do that and use his name while praying or having a conversation jehovah will listen.......if you still havent figured it out...lol... ima Jehovah's Witness

1. Call him by his real name....YAHWEH (YHWH)
GOD, LORD was put in the bible in place of his real name in 1929/1930.
2. Read his book, in person or online (www.biblegateway.com)
3. Understand his messages and words, what they mean. If unsure pull up www.webster.com and look one up, never skip over it.
4. Realize the book is written by men long long ago that never saw a single thing we have today. But were given visions of the future by YAHWEH (GOD) and they wrote down what they saw in the best way they could with the words and knowledge they had at that time. So alot of metaphors are used. Like when it speaks of a 10 headed dragon and has crowns, etc. This is not literally a dragon, but a country split into 10 kings and their flag is a dragon, or what not. Make sense?
5. Just talk to him. No special way, no special words. You can talk to him out loud or in your head, he'll hear you either way. Just ask him for help, guidance and believe in him.
6. Talk to others that are believers, watch videos on Google and YouTube on all the subjects. Kent Hovind is a good guy to look into, he tells many things in simple terms. He has a free 7 part series on both video sites and you can download them at his site, www.drdino.com. He is an ex teacher became preacher, so he goes over evolution, dinosaurs, age of earth, etc. Really helps explain some of the bible.
7. Realize the Old Testament is for that time, is not for now. The New Testament is for now, modern man. Like a child, different laws and rules pertain to children and adults. When "man" became an adult, YAHWEH gave us the New Testament.
8. Don't believe nor be lead to believe that you must attend church to believe, to follow or anything. You don't. For even the book says church is nothing more than a gathering place. Many churches are not "nice" nor follow the real book and are just the work of Lucifer. For again the bible tells us that Lucifer shows himself as an angel of light.
9. Right now, from most research by many, most believe that Prince Charles is the Antichrist. Too much info to list out here on that. But just keep that in your head. And don't, no matter what, ever, EVER take the mark of the beast. This new chip they are talking about. For once you take it, no matter what, you can never go to heaven, YAHWEH is very clear on this. And don't be scared when it says that those that don't accept the chip will be beheaded. The concentration camps that are now in the USA are gas, so we well be gassed instead. But again, don't worry, for we will be warriors with Jesus (Revelation 15.2)
10. You can check out my blog, for I am a new soldier of his and spreading his word and helping people just as yourself. You can visit it at www.Revelation152.com.
Peace....and welcome to the Light!

Matthew Chapt 6, Jesus gives the Model prayer. Jesus Christ also tells of not saying the same prayer over and over. Jesus begins by praying that God's name be santified. - 1st importance. The second of impotance is- He prays for God's Kingdom to come and his will be done on earth as in heaven.

Yes, you can talk to God If you clean your heart and mind with bad thinking's, habits and any negative things. You should to escape with all negative acts which is stoped by the God. And you have to promise to God that you will never ever do again. Then God will talk to you.

There is a book called the course in miracles that teaches you how to do this.
It is a bit of a tough read in places but it works and is well worth the effort.

You can talk to him by talking to him, the same way that you would talk to anybody else, (although, I suggest a reverent and sincere heart) You hear him by being still. (calm yourself and be still both inside and out)
You can know him by reading his word
You can have a relationship with him by following his word.
(as you understand his word and grow in your knowledge, your relationship will grow)
Also, remember this always:
He has always had a relationship with YOU...You have to be the one to draw back to him to allow your relationship to grow.
