He listens... It’s ok to be frustrated with him. He gets you. He can be a hard guy for us to understand sometimes.  Maybe you’ll hear from him today. Many times I hear from him when I least expect it and through the most random thing. He speaks in so many ways but you don’t have to look, he knows how to get your attention.  He listens. The act of prayer is more about demonstrating humility than it is telling him what’s going on or what you want because he knows. When you demonstrate the humility to him (which by the act is demonstrating you faith in him) by asking him for something or just talking to him, it changes you and opens your heart to hear him better. He already knows what you need and want. Just ask even if your frustrated with him.  The most effective prayer that’s ever been prayed is: “Help!”
