105. As you feel the need to confide in the lord or to improve the quality of your visits with him... may I suggest a process to follow:
    Go where you can be alone, where you can think, where you can kneel, where you can speak out-loud to Him. The bedroom, the bathroom, or a closet will do. Now picture Him in your minds eye. Think of whom you are speaking. Control your thoughts... Don't let them wander. Address Him as your Father and your friend. Now tell him things you really feel to tell Him... Not trite phrases that have little meaning but have a sincere, heartfelt conversation with Him. Confide in Him. Ask Him for forgiveness. Plead with Him. Enjoy Him. Thank Him. Express your love for Him. Then listen for his answers. Listening is an essential part of praying. Answers from the lord come quietly, ever so quietly. In fact few hear his answers audibly with their ears. We must be listening carefully or we will never recognize them. Most answers from the Lord are felt in our hearts as a warm, comfortable expression, or they may come as thoughts to our mind. They come to those who are prepared and who are patient. - Unknown
