Hi SW

I pray to God by speaking quietly, or sometimes aloud, or at times I just think the prayers in my head just as if I were speaking out loud. Like you, I sometimes think that maybe I am speaking to a giant void somewhere. I wonder if anyone hears my prayers, hears me asking for guidance and help, or hears me asking for some relief form the mental torture that I and others endure. “Please heal me God from all mental torments and anguish and nightmares and hallucinations and delusions Amen”. Do you think that is too much to ask? It would seem so. Yet I still have a strong belief in God. I read some Bible passages almost every day. I do find at times that god can speak to me through what I read on a certain day. Sometimes certain words or passages just rather speak to you in a very special way. Actually, at times it is very electrifying the feelings I get. I have particular churches where I go that I find this electrifying feeling come over me as soon as I step inside the church or chapel. Whenever I pray in the church, I feel like I am being heard and that I can feel the presence of God. Sometimes when I pray at home I can also have the same feelings but not always, but this does not stop me from praying into that big void you talk about. Maybe the big void is just where god is. You know the expression “God is everywhere”. I think for me that it my spirit that hears and speaks and has the interaction with God.
In closing I would say;
May God give us the understanding and wisdom that we seek through his word so that we may hear the voice of God and know his presence. Amen
