Random Thoughts on Prayer

I would say I am not the best pray-er (I know that’s not actually a word!) It’s a combination of lack faith that God will answer, and that He just feels so far away that it’s hard to accept that He’s really listening. I do not want my prayers to be all about asking for what I need, and I should always remember to thank Him for all He’s done/will do.
I pray throughout the day by simply telling Him what I’m feeling. Sometimes I worry that He will tire of my constant chatter when I rattle on to Him about my frustrations. I also worry that I’m being far too casual with the Almighty God. But I also know He knows me better than anyone be/c he’s my Creator, and therefore understands my need to talk to Him so much. However, I do still need to respect who He is, and remember Isaiah 55:9, “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” I don’t have to understand Him, just love Him.
I don’t have any grand point here, just some random thoughts.
