Thank you for another beautiful post. ...Hi Debbie,<br />Thank you for another beautiful post. I talk to the Lord about everything--I talk to Him out loud all throughout the day.<br /><br />In fact, and I don't want to gross anyone out but if I happen to burp out loud (I try really hard not to out of respect for Him) and I am alone in the house, I say, "Pardon me, Lord." That is how literal I take His presence.<br /><br />So I guess I do talk to Him about everything if I talk to him about my burps--smile--<br /><br />Love you,<br />DianneElizabeth Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17542875304766145898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-35164394825234852202010-10-14T16:10:45.888-07:002010-10-14T16:10:45.888-07:00You know that we (Scott and I) call ourselves the ...You know that we (Scott and I) call ourselves the Lord's dumbest sheep! LOL! We are slow learners sometimes and a constant work in progress.<br /><br />We both believe in taking everything to Him - our hearts deepest cries to the small details that we know He cares about too! We pray with a heart only wanting to know Him more. That is our belief about prayer - that we are spending time with Him and becoming more like Him. Just as our children are becoming more like us and saying things like us - they spend much time with us. <br /><br />Love you!<br />JillAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17247824698674815568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-4931728026619486322010-10-14T13:39:07.113-07:002010-10-14T13:39:07.113-07:00wow. you and sonja are on the same

Someone might say that isn't really praying, but it is. Once I knew that all of the details are known to Him and important to Him, like the sparrows and the amount of hair on our heads... I know He cares about all that concerns me. I think some of my 'best praying' comes when I am alone in the car. No one can hear, and I can talk out loud if I need to, and sometimes I NEED to! :)<br /><br />Love this Debbie, you have such a clear way of wording your heart thoughts.<br /><br />Love you!http://bitsandpieces-sonja.blogspot.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/09254831447887637714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-42072135695842858262010-10-14T12:33:29.172-07:002010-10-14T12:33:29.172-07:00I seem to have a running dialog.

Last night he woke me or maybe hormones did, but the first thing I did was meet with him in prayer. The day had brought some unexpected events and it is rare for my house to ever be quite...so I guess in the middle of the night was good time to deal with the events of the day.<br /><br />I sometimes wonder what people do that don't pray.Janettessage.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01262598732466380229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-40253689999196216952010-10-14T12:09:33.353-07:002010-10-14T12:09:33.353-07:00I literally talk to the Lord

I literally pray without ceasing and by that I mean I have my regular start the day prayer time but I talk to the Lord as I do my chores, run errands, and anytime someone comes to mind.<br /><br />Having said that, I also admit sometimes my prayers are more like whining sessions that I end up confessing to Him but I know He sees my heart and understands from what human emotion those prayers come from.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15583817947078375493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-80175207061662087862010-10-14T11:42:46.875-07:002010-10-14T11:42:46.875-07:00I'm a work in progress, too!

For relationships to become deep, it takes communication.
