God Gets It

I've spent a good portion of my life asking advice from friends, and sharing my thoughts. Most of the time their reaction towards my situation has been a blank stare and a nod... For a minute I'd look into their eyes to see if they truly get me but they don't. Not even those that have known me for over 5 years comprehend me. So, that's when I turned to writing, and writing has never felt this good before. I've grown to express myself better in writing than in my speech, which gave rise to communication problems. I became anti-social, didn't trust anyone with my issues and even cut people off because I was emotionally paranoid. At the time I could only trust my notebook or diary, forgetting that there's only one person that understands what I'm going through even more than I do. From writing, I learned to pray. You see, prayer has been my deal-breaker ☺. I cannot describe with actions or words how phenomenal prayer is. In Sunday School we're taught that prayer is like talking to a friend (That friend being God), and as we grow, prayer dynamics change or mature to some extent and it seems like a chore sometimes... Over the years, I've matured spiritually, but I still pray the way I was taught in Sunday School. God doesn't need me to be eloquent or fluent, because He understands. God doesn't need my sentence construction to make sense, because He understands. I don't need to be at my ultimate level of righteousness to pray, because He understands. I pray when I'm overwhelmed with joy and burdened by broken-ness because I know my God understands...
