Faith is the acceptance of God's love. Whenever we pray, God hears us. Jesus Himself tells us that God knows what we want to say even before we say it. Many often feel that they are not getting through to God and that He simply isn't there or that he isn't listening. The difficulty is ours.
Prayer demands our entire being.
We have to give ourselves completely over to God in order to truly communicate, even when we pray on the spur of the moment. When we have learned how to open ourselves to surrender the barriers between ourselves and God will part. There are many different ways to pray and each kind of prayer has its own purpose. Each one enables us to describe our needs and thoughts more clearly and honestly that we might be able to do on our own. It is not difficult to pray if we follow the directions of Christ Himself.
