Living Changed: Conversations With Godنموونە

Start the Conversation

You may still feel overwhelmed about talking to God, but there’s no right or wrong way to pray. It doesn’t have to look like a formal morning prayer or something strictly scheduled before each meal. It doesn’t have to be perfectly worded, and you don’t have to remember every detail to make it valid.

Prayer can be as simple as a series of short conversations throughout your day, just like you might text your spouse or best friend. Give Him updates, ask His opinion, and tell Him how you feel. Remember, all He wants is an authentic relationship with you. 

Here are some conversation starters to help you get going:

Hey God, I missed talking to you today and wanted to tell you about what happened…

Hey God, I wanted to tell you I’m thankful for… 

Hey God, I’m really having a hard time today. What I’m feeling is… 

Hey God, I’m listening. What do you want to say to me?

Hey God, I know I can’t do it without you, so I’m asking you for… 

Hey God, I know you know what I want, but I trust you with…

When we pray, God wants us to feel comfortable enough to spill it all out. He already knows us inside and out, so we can be honest. 

The Psalms written by David are great examples of how to pray with complete vulnerability. He cries out to the Lord in anguish and he praises Him with beautiful poetry. He pours out every bit of his soul, holding nothing back. David wasn’t perfect, but he leaned on God throughout his entire life, and he’s known as a man after God’s own heart because of it. Let’s follow David’s example. Let’s be people who rely on God. 

Even if it’s awkward and even if you feel hesitant, just get started. After a time, you’ll reach the point where you’re able to recognize His power and purpose in your daily life. Prayer will become as easy as talking to your best friend. Eventually, you’ll be able to make your life a prayer.

Practice- Write out the conversation starters above and add your own to the list. Post them somewhere you’ll see them and spend at least five minutes a day in conversation with God.

We pray God used this plan to minister to your heart.
