The Father Is Glad To Hear From Us
“Being intimate with the Father, talking to him throughout the day, sharing my deepest feelings and thoughts with him – that’s the kind of interchange God wants to have with me (and you) on a continual basis. Our heavenly Father is glad to hear from us, and eager to participate in the give and take of prayer. Intimate prayer is a great antidote to what sociologists tell us is one of the most common maladies affecting Americans today – acute loneliness. I know there are many ways to pray and communicate with God. But I want to emphasize intimate prayer as an ongoing lifestyle that makes a vital connection to God. Isn’t that what we’re all after?”
John Wimber, Prayer: Intimate Communication (Anaheim: Vineyard Ministries International, 1997), 10.
