"Talking" to God

[keri6789]

I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this or not…Is it wrong to “not” pray all the time? I know that sounds odd so I’m going to explain…Sometimes I know that I need to be on my knees and praying…But sometimes it is just easier to “talk” to God…Like you are catching up with a friend over lunch…I sometimes find myself…like when I’m washing dishes or walking my dog…having a conversation with God. I feel like he is my BEST FRIEND and even though I know he already knows whats going on in my life I still want to tell him.

Good for you! That’s how I’m sometimes…

However, I also find time mostly in the evening right before bed to sit and just reflex on my day and pray to thank HIM for my day, for the blessing I have, and for my needs and the needs of the people I love. I also take that time to examine my conscience and ask for forgiveness of my sins.

I understand that you may go to confession. I understand that Catholicism teaches confession is good for “mortal sins” and “venial”…however I also understand that Catholicism teaches that venial sins do not have to be confessed in a confessional.

Just do what you are doing and consider adding time in the evening for more “traditional” prayer time, and time to examine your conscience…

I have found that right before bed is good…you may find the same

God Bless

I think this is great! 1st Thess 5:17 says “Pray without ceasing.” and on some days I begin my morning with the sign of the cross and a prayer…but I don’t end that prayer with the sign of the cross and an “amen” until bedtime. Living the entire day in an official prayer!!! I highly recommend this to everyone who wants to grow closer to God in Christ!

Your relationship seems some what like my own in some respects, although i have had a relatioship like yours for 30 odd years.
God bless you on your trail with Jesus.
I asked Jesus for some one to help me live the way He wanted me to. He lent me to a monastery and there in amongst thousands of books I found a book of a saint and this transformed me and now I have a relationship that fulfills me to the extreme. Maybe your way could be some what as mine is?
God bless
