"As you feel the need to confide in the Lord or to improve the quality of your visits with him . may I suggest a process to follow: go where you can be alone, go where you can think, go where you can kneel, go where you can speak out loud to him. . Now, picture him in your mind's eye. Think to whom you are speaking, control your thoughts-don' t let them wander, address him as your Father and your friend. Now tell him things you really feel to tell him-not trite phrases that have little meaning, but have a sincere, heartfelt conversation with him. Confide in him, ask him for forgiveness, plead with him, enjoy him, thank him, express your love to him, and then listen for his answers."
