“Can you hear me now?” was a
slogan for a cell phone company that gained notoriety. It may also be a
question many Christ followers would like to ask God when they don’t feel like
they are getting through to Him with their prayers.
Prayer is communication with
God. Jesus responded to their request with guidance on how to have a direct
conversation with God. He said don’t make of show of your prayers to try to
convince others you are spiritual. Don’t repeat the same words again and again.
It does not get you any closer to God answering. But He does say to keep on
asking, seeking and knocking and then you will receive, find and the door will
be opened to you. He also says if we as sinful people know how to give good
gifts to our kids, “how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to
those who ask Him.”
Real connection takes
consistent conversation. Consistent conversation builds real relationship. An
intentional daily conversation with God is needed to keep you growing, Let’s
take the next few moments and spend time talking and listening to Him.
