But you, when you pray, enter your room, and close the door, pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you in public. "
Matthew 6: 6 (Reina-Valera 1960).

While it is true the basis of our relationship with God is prayer, having the opportunity to talk with him and tell him what we feel, what we want and then above all delight in his presence.
Communication is one of the most important things in a relationship, if you do not communicate with your partner, husband or boyfriend, how could you bring this relationship forward, it would not work, then there is not much difference when it comes to God; all part since we decided to open our mouths towards him, whether to adore him, praise him, intercede, thank him, ask him, etc.
Praying is one of the best things we can do, because it is a personal encounter with God, it is an experience that others should not live for you, we have to do it with the best attitude, with faith, trusting that God always listens to us,
Do not pray for appearance, do not do it so that people see you or admire you for that, not believing the super spiritual. With God sometimes things are not handled with logic, the more prudent we are, the more Jehovah will reward us and set us as an example.
Our God is the only one who can help us in any kind of situation that we are going through, the people around us will not answer our prayers, because they do not know God's will for our life, that is something intimate that everyone must discover.
Although God already knows the things we need, it is important that we present ourselves before Him, demonstrating our faith, He wants us to ask Him, because it is not only that He gives us what we want, but that we have an intimate relationship with Him.
The Lord wants us to get closer every day.
¨ Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. "Matthew 7: 7 (Reina-Valera 1960)
Well you say @whaleska, "communication is one of the most important things in a relationship". And if we have communication with God we maintain a good relationship through prayer.
Thanks for sharing.
Great reflection, we must keep it in mind more than ever.
