Okay so we agree that we need to have relationship with Our God. How do we do that? Talk to Him, out loud. I am not a fan of the style of preaching that consists of constantly telling the congregation to say this or shout that. It all seems pretty artificial to me, but I do believe we need to audibly talk to God.
It’s not that God can’t read our minds. He certainly can. But speaking out to Him makes our words to Him real to us. When we vocalize, we hear ourselves. We put emotion into our words. They become more real. Trust me. Try it.
Do this. Think about what you would most want to say to Jesus if He was sitting right across from you. Just the one most important thing. Now get off by yourself. This is necessary so others don’t think you are nuts. In today’s world, that’s probably in your car or truck, on the way to work or the store. Turn off the radio and tell the Lord what’s on your heart. Tell Him like you would tell a friend, with honest feeling. You don’t have to use special “praying” language. You don’t have to drop your voice an octave or assume a pompous tone. Nor do you need to be timid and meek. Talk straight.
Now just shut up. Don’t reach for the radio. Spend some time in quiet. You may be surprised at what happens.
Love Him with your whole being and start with your mouth.
Be blessed.
