ME: Good morning... err... up there.
GOD: Good morning.
ME: Hmm, this prayer thing is kind of tricky. I'm not really sure what to say.
GOD: You can talk about whatever you want.
ME: Let's be honest.
GOD: I like honesty.
ME: Some say this prayer thing is easy. It is hard. I have got a lot going on.
GOD: I can totally understand that.
ME: Life is busy. Did you see this stack of homework I have?
GOD: You ARE very busy.
ME: How am I supposed to remember to pray?
GOD: You seem to remember to check your e-mails and Facebook page.
ME: Umm... I really don't have a good excuse.
GOD: That's okay. We are talking now. What is on your mind?
ME: Today English class is going to be so boring.
(Speaking of English class, I cannot forget that after class I have to pick up snacks for the party. No one likes parties without snacks...)
GOD: Hello?
ME: Oh, hello. Sorry, my minds likes to wander. At least I did not fall asleep this time.
GOD: This is very true. Probebly a sign that you needed more rest.
ME: Let's try again. Good morning, God.
GOD: Good morning, again. :-)
ME: I want to pray for my day... that English class is not too boring. I pray that I figure this prayer thing out. Wait... can I pray about prayer?
GOD: Of course you can. It is not really about being good at it. It is more abou being connected. It is hard to live the life I have planned for you without prayer.
ME: What if I call you some of those fancy nicknames you have? Like Almighty God? Or Most Holy? Will I get extra points?
GOD: I am not sure you are listening to me.
ME: Listening to what? It is not like you talk audibly to us.
GOD: My voice is more like a whisper. It might not be heard witrh your ears. But, sometimes you will just know. Test what you hear. Talk to your friends. I have given you the Bible. It should line up with that.
ME: I'm not sure prayers really matter.
GOD: Why not?
ME: Last time I really needed your help... it's like my prayers weren't getting to you.
GOD: Hmm.
ME: See, just like now. You go silent.
GOD: I'm sorry you don't think it made a difference. It did. It still does. I hear all of you prayers. Sometimes you do not see the full picture yet.
ME: I'm not sure about that.
GOD: I know it's hard. Hang in there. You'll see.
ME: I'm not a big fan of waiting.
GOD: No one is. But trust me, good can come out of it.
ME: Can?
GOD: It's really up to you.
ME: Me?
GOD: Ultimately you decide if you listen to my voice.
ME: Sometimes I don't know if it's your voice I hear.
GOD: There will be times when you feel like you should do something. As long as it lines up with the scripture, see what happens. The more you listen, the easier it gets. BTW I hope our conversations are more like this.
ME: Hmm. I guess it is better when I take time to listen.
GOD: No one enjoys a friend who does all the talking.
ME: I'll try harder to get this prayer thing down.
GOD: Don't worry! I will help you.
ME: Thanks. Thanks for everything, really! Maybe we should keep the conversation going throughout the day?
GOD: I'd love that.
ME: OK. Talk to you later.
GOD: I will be here waiting for you.
GOD: Good morning.
ME: Hmm, this prayer thing is kind of tricky. I'm not really sure what to say.
