 I want you to realize that when you pray, you are approaching God who can see you, who can hear you, and who has a response available for you because he's full of compassion and love, and he looks upon you favorably. You see, when you see prayer as a negotiation to get God to listen to you, well, that's just going to be frustrating, and you're not going to want to pray all that often. But when you realize that you already have his attention, he's looking at you right now. He's listening to you right now. He's in the room with you right now. When you pray in that way, your heart is filled with faith.
