Did you know that God wants to hear from you?

Question

You can talk to Him about anything and everything!

Answer 1

Prayer in the Bible is Conversation with God. In the Hebrew Scriptures the primary image of prayer is simple asking, in a conversational manner. It presupposes that the asker is both humble and expectant. The godly are those who are faithful and devoted to God. David knew that God would hear him when he called and would answer him. “Know that the Lord has set apart the godly for Himself; the Lord will hear when I call to Him” (Psalm 4:3). We too can be confident that God will listen to our prayers and answer us when we call upon Him whole-heartedly.

There are certain primary elements such as speaking, waiting and listening in Biblical prayer, suggesting a tone of conversation face to face with God the Father and Jesus Christ. “I sought the Lord, and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to Him are radiant; and their faces are never covered with shame. This poor man called, and the Lord heard him; He saved him out of all his troubles” (Psalm 34:4-6).

David also notes there are times when we must wait on God in prayer. “I waited patiently for the Lord; He turned to me and heard my cry” (Psalm 40:1). Again, David also describes calling out to God and receiving an answer. “In your distress you called and I rescued you, I answered you out of a thundercloud; I tested you at the waters of Meribah Selah” (Psalm 81:7).

We must never fall into the trap of thinking that because we have fallen short of God’s high standards for holy living God will not hear us. If we have trusted Christ for salvation, God has forgiven us, and He will listen to our prayers. We have been set apart, Jesus having reconciled us to God, and He loves us. He does hear and He does answer, however, sometimes His answers may not be what we expect or necessarily want. We must always look at our problems in the light of God’s power, instead of looking at God in the shadow of our problems.

We find in the prayer of Abraham for Sodom the elements of ordinary speech and even a persuasive tone. “The men tuned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the Lord. Then Abraham approached Him and said: Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked? What if there are fifty righteous people in it? Far be it from you to do such a thing—to kill the righteous with the wicked alike, Far be it from you! Will not the Judge of all the earth do right” (Genesis 18:22-25). Did Abraham change God’s mind? Of course not! What is more likely is that God changed Abraham’s mind. Abraham knew God is just and that He punishes sin, but he probably had a question about God’s mercy. Abraham seemed to be probing God’s mind to see just how merciful He really was. When he left off his conversation with God he was convinced that God was both kind and fair.

When we come before God in prayer we assume the stance of a trusting child and pray with faith that is matched by obedience. God remembers our frailty, reaching out to us and loving us as His children.

God is not impressed with symbols of prayer, such as certain times and postures, bowed heads, closed eyes, folded hands, or a kneeling position. While all are mentioned in relationship to prayer none are absolutely necessary. When Hezekiah prayed for deliverance he took a threatening letter to the temple and “spread it out before the Lord” (Isaiah 37:14).

Whether the prayers were offered in the Old Testament or the New Testament, all agree the main goal of prayer should be for the power to come to the aid of others. Abraham, Moses, Joshua and Daniel all prayed for the well being of the Israelites, as did all the prophets. The Apostles all prayed for the churches and requested prayer from the churches for their ministry, “Pray that I may be rescued from the unbelievers in Judea and that my service in Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints there” (Romans 15:31). “May the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing His will, and may He work in us what is pleasing to Him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever” (Hebrews 13:20).

Answer 2

Yes, He wants to hear from us about everything in our lives. He loves us and He cares very much about us and meeting our needs. We can call upon God at any time. Its the one place we never get a busy signal when we call.
and, even more so than that, once we do call upon God, then we need to learn to be silent, and listen quietly as He will speak to us. We know He has more that we need to hear than we need to say, as He has so much to teach us. BUT< God wants us to go to Him, give Him our thoughts and our love and then let Him guide us in every area of our life. IT helps us to grow closer to Him, and remembering that we are never ever alone, He is always there. If it seems at times that we are a little further away from God, we must REMEMBER that God never moves, it is WE that moved away. And, we get the priviledge of just calling upon Him again, and saying Hey God, I love you and I am back, and I want you more God is quick to forgive. He loves us all so much.
Now, lets all go tell the world about Jesus Christ, so they will know this too. Isnt God good? All the time, He is good.
Even in trials and tribulation, He is always there..

Darlin, I knew that!!!! God hears my every thought and guides me...not just daily, but hour by hour. Simply to make it through one more day. My prayers are conversing with Someone who loves me and cares about me. He knows my thoughts and wants me to share with Him.

Answer 6

No, I didn't, and I still don't, because it's not true.

But since you really haven't asked any question, I will:

Did you know that there is a difference between your beliefs and the objective truth?

Did you know that not knowing this makes christians seem incredibly unintelligent and narrow minded?

Did you know that your jesus is just a rehash of earlier, cooler gods?

Answer 7

Yes and He hears from me every day.

Answer 8

i do no longer think of I understand your question. yet, to respond to what i think of you're asking...i think of God already knows what you think of and experience approximately Him. He knows our words earlier we communicate them. He needs us to consistently communicate with Him approximately how we are feeling and what we are dealing with, we are observed as as Christians to desire fervently. It helps to construct our faith, and set up courting with God, the author of heaven and earth. God bless you.

Answer 9

Amen to that!!! Yes, He wants to hear from us. We were created to have fellowship with Him.

Answer 10
