There is no such thing as a timeor placewhere its inappropriate to talk to God. Nothing in this world can prevent you from lifting up your heart in earnest prayer. Whether you are in the middle of a traffic jam, or an important business meeting, or in some dangerous place, you may always send up a prayer for divine help and guidance.

You can talk with Jesus as you walk down the street, for He has promised to be at your right hand. He is your ever-constant companion. Whether you are washing dishes or hosing down the car, you can breathe out your hearts desire to Jesus. Your prayer may be inaudible to any human ear, yet your words will not die away into silence, nor can they be lost. Nothing can drown out your prayer. It will rise above the honking of horns, the whir of factory machines, or the loudest thunder. Regardless of the noise factor around, when you are talking to God, you can be sure your prayer will be heard.

More than that, your earnest request for grace and strength will be answered. Ask God to do what you cant do for yourself. Tell Jesus everything. His eye searches the inmost recesses of your soul: He reads your thoughts like an open book. Why not, then, lay the secrets of your heart before Him?

When you have asked for things that are necessary for the good of your soul, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. Jesus died so that you could have the precious things of heaven as your own, and at last find a home with the heavenly angels in the kingdom of God. Why not, then, accept His gifts with your whole heart? You can be sure that, if you find your voice and a time to pray, God will find time and a voice to answer.
