Prayer is our opportunity to get to know the God who created us, sustains us, and loves us. And yet, when we come before God, we often present Him with a list of things we want—like a grocery list. Can you imagine if you did that to your spouse or a dear friend? What a downer! It wouldn’t feel very much like a conversation. When we talk to other trusted people in our life, we usually talk quite naturally, jumping from one topic to another, or we spend hours geeking out over the details of our favorite topic, reveling in the feeling of being understood and loved.

Prayer is a two-way conversation with God. We hear this so often that we often miss its simplicity. You listen (the best part)—and you know you are being listened to (also the best part). When you listen, you listen for the voice of a trusted friend and heavenly Father. When you speak, you speak freely, without fear of being misunderstood or shamed. You can’t get that anywhere else. Sometimes, other people, even people who love us dearly, can misunderstand us or leave us frustrated, but our faithful God knows us completely. Prayer brings us hope, making every prayer a prayer for strength. It can be tempting to sometimes treat prayer like a wishlist or another thing to check off your to-do list. But prayer is so much more than that.

The prayer that we pray should be the one that comes straight from our hearts. Prayer shouldn’t be a job or a planned out speech. The prayer that God tells us we should pray is the Lords prayer. “Our Father in heaven hallowed be your name your kingdom come your will be done as earth as it is in heaven…” this prayer summarizes the main things that we should pray for, like telling God he is awesome, asking to provide, to forgive sins, and to prevent you from sinning, and that you will love God for ever and ever. God doesn’t look at how good a prayer is, he doesn’t judge by quantity either. A short prayer can be just as, if not, more meaningful as a large one. God looks at the thought and meaning of the prayer. A prayer that comes straight from the heart is what God appreciates.
