What Should We Talk to God About? Everything.

- Should we really talk to God about everything?
There are a lot of different kinds of prayers (liturgical, litanies, the rosary, the chaplet of divine mercy, etc.), but today Father hones in on mental prayer. Mental prayer-including lectio divina and Ignatian prayer-is about having a conversation with God and inviting him into your mind and your heart. But our minds are messy places, and our hearts are wounded. Should we really be talking to God about all of our thoughts, longings, and desires?

"Abba, here am I, here's my heart."
The intimacy of this prayer makes me go 😭😭😭
What’s the prayer? Name?
@@CHAVEOCHOA it's a prayer i made up after listening to Fr Mike speak!
I was fortunate to have an earthly dad who listened to me well, and encouraged me to think out loud. Because of that I am able to trust my heavenly Father so much more than I might otherwise have trusted Him. Same with my mother and trusting Our Blessed Mother.
Thank you Fr. Mike, for caring for God's children so loyally and so well; I pray for you daily, and for all those in need. God bless you.
Very interesting point..having a good Father here on earth helps heaps..
Beautiful testimony, thank you for sharing it. Holy fathers serve such a tremendous and necessary good in the human order. I lament our masculinity-hating culture, we are ruining ourselves from the inside out with it. Prayers of gratitude for your father.
Wow, beautiful parents. They blest you
That is so important, for women but especially for men, I think the statistics are less than 5% of men with lax fathers remain in the faith.
Hi guys pray for me and my family I am experiencing your prayers thank you continue to pray for each other. I am praying for you. ✝️🙏🏼❤️
We will
Praying for you and your family
No god God bless you and keep your family safe
God bless you and your family abundantly always! :)
Lord Jesus, I ask in your name to our Father God. Please take Christopher into your heart . Help Christopher to deepen his trust, friendship and love for you. Please take him into Your heart that he may live a good life. May God enrich Christopher with Your love friendship and blessings. Be well friend.
I was sitting at home tonight and revealing my innermost feelings to God, and I wasn't sure it was the right conversation to have. I felt like I was complaining about some things while also acknowledging the blessings in my life.. I looked at my phone and this video came up. I needed this video at this exact time. Thank you Fr. Mike
Friends, complain, whine, laugh, share secrets, celebrate, grow and love one another. When you want God in your life ya tell Him everything and offer gratitude and adoration. I think you’re spot on! In the musical, Fiddler On The Roof, a man sings a song to God and at one point he says, “would it spoil some great eternal plan if I were a rich rich man?” That’s when I saw the wisdom in sharing with God like a friend. May God continue to encourage you to share with Him. Duh, it’s not like you thought it up all by yourself, lol. Perhaps He moved your spirit to come closer. Sending love.
@@Donna-cc1kt Thank you and God Bless you!
Nothing wastes God's time, and it's impossible for him to waste his time, and he never does anything he doesn't want to do. Brilliant.
I recently starting praying while brushing my teeth. It sounds silly but I really think it has help me become more grateful and to be more with God throughout the day. In the morning, I ask God to be with me through all the things I have planned and at night I thank Him for getting me through the day, reflect if something great or bad happen, and ask Him to be with me tomorrow again. I’ve always struggled to pray at night because I usually fall asleep haha but this is just a nice way I have found to pray more. If you try it, let me know how it goes! I’ll be praying for you! 🙏💕
❤️❤️❤️
I love this! I am going to try it out. Thank you 😊🙏🏼
I am also doing that! Praise God!
In February, I read a book about using regular BAR soap to brush my teeth instead of toothpaste, and the results are amazing. I just had to share that, because I am 72 years old, and my gums were bleeding and I had lots of tarter to scrape off every time I went to the dentist, but the last time, they only found 9 small tarter spots, and my teeth were gleaming white. I hope you don't mind that I shared this. I think God sent that book to me.
The thoughts, feelings, and desires of my heart is to know God better, be known by God and to make Him known to all. He is great to save! ⛪
I always think that some of the things I talk to God about are dumb 😅, so this video has helped me out a bunch!
Nothing you say to the Lord is dumb. He’s your best friend and friends babble on.
Excellent video, thank you Fr.Mike!
Whilst watching this a quote I read came to my mind, it is of Marcel Tan Van, the beloved spiritual brother of St Therese of Lisieux (she appeared to him many times during his life). This is from their conversation:
"God our Father watches over the slightest details of our lives...His goodness and kindess are infinite...Do not be afraid to speak familiarly with God as with a friend. Tell Him about everything that comes to your mind - your marble games, a mountain climb, the teasing of your friends, your outbursts, your tears or the little fleeting pleasures." "But little Sister, God already knows all these things" "That is true, however to give and to receive love, He must stoop and He does this as if He has forgotten that He knows everything, in the hope of hearing an intimate word burst forth from your heart."
I was constantly, constantly thanking God a lot throughout the day because I have a lot to be thankful for.
I decided to stop. Instead, I told myself I'll be thankful in the moment. I'll be in the joy of a loving God. And that can go on all day.
Hope that makes sense.
Phew....I am so glad to hear I am not wasting Gods time. I have been praying like this my whole life!
can i ask your personal experience about how your life went with that kind of relationship to God? have you experienced anything bad in your life like as a whole
Father Mike, I don't know how i could possibly thank you for your hudge, almost supernatural help and for you courage to reveal God's love in a world wich is so broken.
Amen, Amen, Amen.
God is our biggest fan, and our only true friend, always there for us in the good times and bad.
God wants a relationship with us! The Bible shows God wants us to love him and he has done so much for us to unite with him! Father Mike is so uplifting to my spirit! His soul reflects God's love! ❤➕❤ The mind of God is truly amazing! He said: If you love me you will follow my commandments! Surprisingly in doing that it provides protection, so God wants us to be protected, so we don't hurt ourselves and each other! That is love caring for ALL of us!!
I haven't even watched this video yet but my philosophy is that God gets to hear everything anyway, so I'm gonna share it 🤣
Oh, you really want to watch this video, yes, God knows everything and He gets to hear everything, but we have to share with Him to give Him ACCESS to our deepest thoughts, wounds, etc.... He is a gentleman, He waits for us to share.
My dad passed away 2019 I'm gonna start praying for my dad I'm sure hes in Is portatory He wasn't a Catholic he was a Baptist Loving his neighbor he wears his Bible After he passed away I looked at his Bible it looked like it was 80 years old Pages will come in apart Is a mark different passages He read it so much the pages who were coming apart My grandma gave it to him when he was a boy . He shall respect to everyone I remember one time there was someone that was hungry and needed a place to stay My dad gave him some food And he also gave him a motel room for a night . And that's what we suppose to do is help your neighbors.
Beautifully spoken Father! Amen 🙏 🙏 🙏
We can give God our Feelings!!! Our Love, Joy, Sadness........
Amen!
Giving God the Father access is such a great thing and thought.
I need a Dad and He has offered to by my Dad, therefore....Gonna talk to Him about EVERYTHING! He is the dad I never knew I had and the Dad I have always needed.
Plus he is the best dad ever! Rightfully he should get Father of the Year award EVERY year.
Literally the only one who has ever given a 💩(chocolate ice cream) about me.
Soooo touching 😊♥️👍
That’s is Wisdom and it’s a virtue. You were called and answered. Beautiful story. Put your trust in your Father.
This is beautiful 🤧❤️
Amen.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment...no matter how old each of us is, this is how we all feel, so thank you for expressing our feelings so well
Amen
Thank you so much father! Love from India!
Praying for you!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😳
Thank you so much… sometimes Catholics seem to think only rosary types of prayers are real prayers
I constantly wonder this alot. Like if God would feel annoyed seeing and hearing the same thoughts. I tend to think about not being awkward in what i talk to him. I suppose what insight we can get out of this is that we really need to understand what Love truly is towards God.🙂🤔
Awe, you’re shy and think your thoughts and desires are unworthy. Humn, you’re listening to all the things that keep us from the best relationship ever. Go for it. I thinks He delights in our hearts not because they are thoughts sometimes trivial but because we shared with Him the only thing He desires. Even the angels are not as loved as we are. Come! go! Be with your Father for any reason, just be with Him.
So our hearts are, at least partly, our own. Opening my heart doesn't make me less me but less likely to wander in a fog. The intellect must have connections with the heart. We tend to divide our hearts. False things tug on them. Good comment on our hearts! I sensed you were going for that word. Heart and fog. And light. Thanks!
Thank you Father Mike. I have not been the greatest Christian but thanks to your videos I'm trying to be better and grow as the Christian that LORD God wants me to be.
Good day to all. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I immediately pray after watching this. Thank you Father Schmitz for such an amazing video!
Yes, I feel like what Fr. Mike said. I feel like I’m wasting his time. I feel like there are far more important prayers being said out in the world than mine and I feel bad for “wasting his time” . I loved this video and I love YOU Father 🙏🏼❤️😘
Thank you, father Mike.
I liked the video before I started watching because I knew it would be great!
That kind of heart 💛 that's so touching 🙏🏼
God bless you brother in Jesus Christ Happy Sunday

God gave you big mouth to talk about Jesus to us, God gave you big ears so that you could hear sins of men and women to cleanse their souls, your words about Jesus comfort me every night, God may keep you and bless you.
Love the video have a great week Father Mike.
Such a simple request from God , yet it is the key to let God inside me and He inside of me
Access and pass, that is cool. Thank you.
Sooo beautifully said! So wise.Thank you Fr.Mike for looking after us so well.I'm learning so much and it helps with my relationship with God.

Just love this site, great message Father Mike
Thank you Father Mike, for saying and always doing something to encourage us in faith. Awaiting your next teaching eagerly
Thanks, this was just right for me today. Both confirmation and encouragement.
I love Jesus Christ 💓❤️!!
Thank you I needed this, I want to be closer to God but I wasn’t sure what to pray about or if I needed a specific thing to talk about but now I know I can just come as I am🙏🏾
Great
This was really helpful! Thank you!
I’m working on surrendering to God and woke up asking this very question this morning. Thank you for your videos 🙏
Father, I LOVE your videos! This one... It really makes me feel called out (in a good way, promise!), because not only do I struggle - HARD - with mental prayer, but I struggle with the concept that I am not "wasting" God's time. I have a hard time just freely running to Him about E V E R Y T H I N G, ... but... wait, it's not like He DOESN'T know, right, ... so what's my problem!? Please pray for me, Father, my prayer life isn't the greatest, but I'm trying. :) God bless you!
Amazing 😮
It’s like you read my mind with this topic. Yay!!!! Thank you Fr. Mike!
I’ve definitely asked this
I really liked this--it's a question I have been pondering. I often think about the deep conundrums in my life, and then mentally just ask God, "What about that, God?" I have to believe he hears those deep questions and that He will reveal His answer someday.
Beautiful 😻
Thank you for this video. I needed it
This is a good message, thank you .
That’s a beautiful way to put it ❤️
Notification pops up . I watch 🤝
I Love you eeshoye❤❤
This was a good video. I'm on my way to adoration now
Through grace, God allows living in an intimate relationship in the spirit with His son Jesus Christ.
♥
I think that as we have freedom and God is all Love and want to keep our freedom when we want to talk to God we allow Him to touch us. It s our will to get His plans for us to us.
Perhaps he does not care about everything, but about us. So I think he likes that we stay in contact. Like friends and friends Talk about everything right?!! And by the way we do not waiste a second of Gods time. He is there for everybody in every second
🙏🙏🙏
Of course He wants to hear it all and then some!
Jesus is so good to us. He gave us access to our father God.
