Loving God, you know my thoughts, desires, struggles and hopes. Thank you for hearing and receiving my prayers. Deepen my faith so that, through prayer, our relationship will strengthen and grow. Amen.

What is your experience of prayer like? Do you have a conversation with God? Do your prayers transcend language? Do you speak aloud or pray in your head? Every person prays in his or her own way, and God hears and understands each of us. What do you need in order to trust that God hears your prayers?
