Prayer and Relationship

I believe that God greatly desires communication with us and He wants to get us to the point where we greatly desire communication with Him. I disagree with the idea of "God helps those who help themselves" because that kind of thinking would contradict our dependency on God and ultimately the need for a savior. The fact is, we can't help ourselves no matter how hard we try. I also don't believe we should just sit back idley waiting for God to move us physically. Effort on our part must be used. God can and will move in and through us whether we sit still or get out and move our bodies. The issue is how much more effective can we allow God to be in our lives by getting out and doing something instead of just existing. Our mere existance is a testimony to God but I personally want to testify about God in a greater way other than just simply being here.
I really miss God and our relationship when I havn't been praying as often as usual. I feel like something is missing. I also tend to feel guilty because here He's been all this time "in the same room with me" and I have completely ignored His existance. I've been treated that way before by people and I'm still treated that way at times. It makes me feel left out, insignificant, and not likeable. I never want God to feel that way because of how I treat Him. I want a constant flow of communication as though I'm giving Him the grand tour of my life every single day. I find it extremely comforting to know that at the end of the day, God has seen, heard, and felt every single thing I have and He knows exactly how I feel. I don't HAVE to explain things to Him. I GET to! He never gets tired of hearing me talk. Everyone else seems to though. He is ever becoming my refuge. My place to go when I'm hurting and when I'm happy. When I talk to children about God, I refer to Him as our "big daddy". This typically sounds irreverent but I believe it's all in how you present the message. Just like my dad here on earth, I refer to him most times as "dad", but, I've discovered that there are times that I call him "daddy". This occured to me not too long ago and so being someone who over analyzes things, I put some thought into why I do that. I found that the times I say "dad", it's a more formal title for him and more suitable for the specific situations it's used in. The times I say "daddy" are more intimate times when I tell him "I love you, daddy" or if I'm giving him some bad news that needs a soft touch. Daddy, is what I called him when I was little and when I wanted to grow up and be just like him. I remember copying everything my dad did. Unfortunately, I remember drinking V8 juice just because my dad did. Man I hated that stuff. It didn't matter though, because my dad drank it so it must be right.
Maybe it seems like I'm just rambling on and on but I assure you that all of this has great meaning to me. It's called a relationship with your father...your dad.....your daddy. There is one relationship that is greater though. The relationship with your heavenly father....your "big daddy" who truly IS invinsible!
