Mental Wellness: Communicating with God

 

Stop and think about the incredible privilege of prayer for a minute. You have the ability to communicate with God–the author of the world, your Creator–whenever and wherever you want. You don’t have to know a secret code, use any particular phrasing, or go through a priest. You can talk with God anytime. He is ready and willing to engage in conversation with you. In fact, he wants you to make talking to him a regular part of your day. As Paul wrote, “Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart” (Col. 4:2).

When you immerse yourself in conversation with God, you do three things that act as catalysts for aligning your mind with his. When you talk to God, you

  • acknowledge his existence;
  • connect with him on a deeper level; and
  • demonstrate your dependence on him.
