Intimate Conversations With God - Roxanne Gail Hodge - Bog

THE God of the universe is a God of relationships. I get overwhelmed when I think about the goodness of His love and the magnitude of the power that comes with His love. It was years before I fully embraced how much my Heavenly Father loves me. Never were truer words spoken than the observation Paul made in Ephesians.
Ephesians 3:17-19 (NLT)
17 Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. 18 And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. 19 May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
I'm convinced prayer is a mystery to believers. Often, when there is a difficult concept to embrace, people create tools to simplify our understanding. Such as we have done with prayer. To explain what prayer is, we have created a "one size fits all formula." The truth is, prayer is merely conversations with God.
Do we talk to each person we know the same way? No, we don't. God wants us to speak to Him, and He wants to talk back. As we become more acquainted with the Father, we become more comfortable talking to Him, and the more we understand His Words, the more we hear Him.
