When we have a deep and heartfelt conversation with another person, we very often come away from that experience saying, I have a much better understanding of him and his problems, needs, and concerns.The same is true when we communicate intentionally with God. We know Him more fully, understand Him better, feel more at home in His presence, find cause to praise Him more, and have a deeper relationship with Him.
Talking to God doesn’t build relationship. Communicating with God does—both speaking and listening. Nobody knows you like God knows you. Nobody loves you like God loves you. Nobody desires good for your life more than God. In prayer, you will soon discover not only more about God, but more about yourself as God’s beloved child.
Prayer is the key to a relationship with God. Intentional dialogue with God ultimately establishes and deepens our relationship with Him. The purpose of prayer is that we might know God better, experience more of His love, and have an abiding awareness of His work in our lives.
There is no more exciting or enriching
experience! A relationship with God, of course, is very
personal. In fact, it’s the most intimate relationship you can ever
know.
