Christianity in EnglishコミュのTalk with God.

One of my English teacher said to me long time ago,"If you believe God is exist,you can talk with God. Even you are not Christian.",so I started pray and try to talk wit God,but still can't...

Talk as in dialog?

Not as with a human.

It is more a talk *to* God.

But there is dialog of a sort:
1. You can pray about specific things, ask questions, ask for help, etc. Say you ask God to answer a question you are pondering, and continue to think about it, with hope that the question is answered. Even about this:

"God, if you are there and who Christians say you are, please help me learn how to talk to you, how to pray, and what that means."

Something like that. The idea is that God doesn't speak to you in verbal terms, but there are answers (though it can be difficult to discern what is an answer)

2. Wrestle with a text (bible, questions or issues in a book) and ask questions with it, and 'wrestle' with the issues, but do so in dialog with God.

make any sense? (i would understand if it doesn't, haha kinda strange thing maybe)

Yeah I do meg. Especially when I feel restless and bad inside. When I pray, I ask forgiveness, I talk to the Lord and pour out my soul. And I believe he listens, because I feel at peace afterwards. When your conscience is at it's highest and you need to pour your soul out to God, He will listen and you will feel his presence

Thank you for comment.

I'm kind of understood,but maybe not 100% understand.
From my understanding...
When people pray,they ask to God about thier problem,question,help from God and forgiveness,but not make conversation. Then feel something different,like his presecen.
My English teacher said to me"God always looking to you."

If misunderstand or something add my understanding,please tell me.

hey Meg,

I think you understand the main point. The points I made (1) and (2) were just talking about ways in which a 'dialog' or 'interaction' of a sort can happen. And the answers (or better: replies) that I wrote of in (1), may be a feeling of God's presence, but may be certain ideas coming to your mind that 'really hit you', some things that happen (though it is always hard to interpret events).
Did (2) make any sense?

Haha I must confess: I have difficulty with the idea of 'feeling God's presence' in Prayer. My mind is more aware of spiritual realities, and thus God 'feels' present in a way that is not always the case when I am not praying. But the philosopher in me always questions what a feeling means: my feeling good or bad (or whatever) may be misleading, but may point me to the real issues i need to be thankful of, or deal with.
