Long Time Caller, First Time Listener

I came home yesterday stressed out from the day just wanting to relax and talk to someone. I decided to spend my evening with God. Learning to spend time with Him is new in my life, in the past I have always tried to reach out and talk to humans. I am starting to see where God is always there to listen no matter what. Despite that we can communicate with God easier than anyone else in the world, it is still hard to wrap your mind around speaking with Him. Once I realized that He was there listening, I decided to think of Him as a person that was always by my side, that I could communicate with through telepathy. It sounds silly, like a kid with an imaginary friend, but its true. God is right there with us every second of every day of our lives. Mathew 10:30 says: "For the very hairs on your head are numbered." If God is keeping track of each hair on your head, don't you think He hears you talking to Him?

Last night I wanted to really make sure God was hearing what I had to say to Him. I was thinking about all the ways I could communicate with God when the idea came to me to send Him a text message, again silly but I did it anyway. I got out my phone and entered 000-000-0000, (by the way thats His phone number if you didnt know ;), careful who you go giving that out to). I entered what I wanted to say to Him, and sent it.

As absurd as the whole idea was, it helped me come to terms with how easy He is to talk to. I was not trying to "humanize" God or disrespect Him, it was more to help my brain see that I could just talk to Him through thought. While there are many ways to speak with God, you must back up your words to Him with your actions for Him. Asking God for forgiveness then going and doing that sin again is not right. God wants us to ask for forgiveness, learn from our mistakes, then move forward with that knowledge. Talking to God isn't just asking for forgiveness or for things in our lives. We should thank God, pray for others, and just ask Him everyday questions that we have in life. He is there for every thing we might have no matter how large or small.

P.S. Thank you God for answering my prayers :)
