Read Acts 10-12
Acts 10:4 says, "And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God." Cornelius was devout and God took notice of him. One day when Cornelius was talking to God, God spoke back to him, calling him by name. That gave him pause.
We know how to speak to God—through prayer. We don’t have to bow our heads and close our eyes. We don’t have to speak out loud. God knows when we’re speaking to Him and when we’re not. He’s always attentive to us.
Knowing He’s always there and always listening to us, we can have a relationship with Him. We don’t always have to be asking Him for things. We can simply share the beauty of a sunset, how frustrated we are at the moment, even something amusing we just heard. We can be as intimate with Him as we are with our loved ones.
