Praise Journal: Heavenly Father, thank You for listening to us. Our prayers must get awful boring sometimes, yet You never complain. You tell us You want us to talk to You. You ask us to speak with You as if we were talking to another human being. Although we should speak with more respect in Your case, You want us to be that familiar with You.
