How to talk to God.

Most of us were taught that talking to God requires a certain posture, a certain vocabulary, a certain hour of the day. So we wait until we feel worthy enough, calm enough, good enough. And the waiting becomes its own silence.

Say the true thing first

Begin with whatever is loudest inside you. If it is anger, begin there. If it is exhaustion, begin there. Honesty is not disrespect. It is the only doorway that opens.

Let the sentence be short

You do not need paragraphs. "Help me." "Thank you." "I don't understand." A short sentence said truthfully carries further than a long one said carefully.

Listen for the shift, not a voice

The answer rarely arrives as words. More often it is a loosening in the chest, a thought you did not expect, a small willingness to try again tomorrow. Pay attention to what changes in you after you speak.

You are not being graded. You are being heard.
