elementary school, and you have a crush on that cute classmate, you may

not be able to figure out HOW to talk to them. But in any mature

relationship, the ability to connect through conversation and

understanding is at the very foundation of friendship or family or

romance. With the Lord, it may seem more complicated because He’s not

just a human like we are, so there’s the awe of His greatness. And of

course, we don’t talk to Him face to face like we do with people. But

knowing God is a lot more like knowing other people than we realize. The

two basic parts of our communicating with Him are reading and prayer.

We’ll look at how to do both of these, and what they do for our lives

with our Lord!
