When you and a friend have a conversation, you are yourself, you talk with ease, you allow your emotions to flow, and you may even stumble on words, but most importantly, you are engaged in dialogue. Depending on the conversation, you may find yourself laughing to tears or very serious making sure not to leave out any detail. There is an exchange of information between two people.
Talking to God should be like talking to a friend. You should be yourself, at ease and have a sincere desire to communicate. You do not have to seem or be pious, or feel that you are unworthy, because through Jesus Christ, God gave us the right to come “strongly to the throne of grace” and to speak to him. Strongly here is referring to a confidence knowing that we have an audience with him and that he hears us. Talking with God should be an exchange of words, thoughts, desires, prayers or just plain ole conversation. Talking to God is not you doing all of the talking and none of the listening. God wants to tell or show you some things. But if you are not listening, you will miss out on what God has in store for you.
Remember, a conversation takes two. The next time you talk to God, remember he is your father and friend, so speak directly to him about whatever whenever.
