I pray, for I clearly know that I need
I pray, for I can no longer fake the feelings
I pray, for Your love is what I need
My God, yes I can say MY God, just like how I can say my dad, is really a loving God, just like my daddy. Praying is actually just talking to Him and you can talk to Him just anything. Why do we still tell Him of our stuff even He knows all about us? Words are powerful. Thoughts expressed verbally means action, means you care to let Him know. Try thinking that you know that you love your dad but you did not say it. Do you think your dad don't know that you love him? But he really appreciates when you take the effort to say "DAD, I LOVE YOU." While praying, you need not to use complicated words or phrases, thees or thous. You can even address Him as Daddy in heaven!
He's not like our earthly dad who can't all times be with you. He promises to be there with you at all times, free to talk any moment about anything, but we often turn to him as our last resort, when all things fail us. Then again, He still loves us, no matter how tiny and small we feel. He understands all the trials and problems we went through. He wipes off every tear. And He comforts us with his still, small voice.
I just want let you know such a God exists. Whenever you feel the whole world cave in all around you, know that You can still talk to Him. He answers.
A really nice Chinese song to share with you...
