No running off to see friends or watch a favorite television program. We need to set aside specific moments that are unrestricted by time constraints where we have a chance to talk to God . . . As we talk with Him, we will have real communication. He will bring things to our mind that He wants us to do, people who need our prayers, and sins that we have never confessed. When a relationship is suffering, the problem is often identified as a lack of good communication.
Prayer is communication.
It is hearing from and being heard by your Father who loves you.
