Lately, I have been thinking a lot about how I can improve my prayers to my Heavenly Father. I don’t very often take the time to listen after I finish my personal prayers. Heartfelt communication with our Heavenly Father should involve both speaking and listening. Every time I kneel and pray to my Heavenly Father, I can feel His love and presence in my life. Knowing that He is there for me is one of the biggest blessings that I have.

A Conversation with Heaven

I kneel to my Heavenly Father in prayer,
And as I start speaking I can feel that He is there.
I feel the warmth of His loving embrace
In the stillness of my bedroom space.

Oh my Father, sometimes I feel so alone,
As if my worries and cares are unknown.
Please, help me to feel of Your amazing Love,
That comes to me from up above.

The answer comes as a quiet whisper to my ear,
That I am never alone because He is always near.
He knows the trials that I face every day,
And He is always there to help me on my way.

But Father, my health is so unpredictable,
And to others my health issues seem invisible.
I plead with you Father, to help me feel seen and known,
Instead of feeling that I am completely on my own.

On a day when darkness starts to creep into my soul
He helps me find hope so that I can once again feel whole.
My problems were not taken away from me,
But I am filled with peace when I’m on bended knee.

The Takeaway: Prayer to our Heavenly Father should involve both speaking and listening. Sometimes answers come when we feel strength and peace to endure our trials. Then at other times, He sends whispers to our hearts that we are never alone. Our problems might not be solved when we are on our knees. We may doubt again when the weight of our trials seems too heavy to bear. But when we express the deepest desires of our hearts to our Heavenly Father, He will be there for us.
