Draw close to God, and he will draw close to you.—Jas. 4:8.

 

Jehovah wants us to draw close to him and to communicate with him. He urges us to “persevere in prayer,” and he makes himself available at all times. (Rom. 12:12) He is never too busy or too tired to listen to us. In turn, we listen to him by reading his Word, the Bible, along with publications that help us to understand it. We also listen to him by paying close attention at Christian meetings. Regular communication with Jehovah helps us remain close to him. Jehovah wants us to pour out our hearts to him in prayer. (Ps. 62:8) We do well to ask ourselves this question: ‘Do my prayers tend to be like superficial, reprinted messages, or are they like heartfelt, handwritten letters?’ No doubt you love Jehovah deeply, and you want to keep your relationship with him strong. To do that, you must communicate with him regularly. Confide in him. Share your joys and your pains with him. Be confident that you can go to him for help. w20.02 9 ¶4-5

 Acts 17:27.... in fact, he is not far off from each one of us. Jehovah is more interested in us than we know. He helps us day by day more than we know, He is our benefactor, redeemer, life giver, our God, our heavenly Father, our friend and so much more. What does he ask back from us? To talk to him in prayer, to get to know him deeply and to listen to all his good words that benefit us.

What a wonderful thing that we have this provision , he's never tired of hearing our thoughts

[Elnathan]

Unlike Human parents who can ignore their children because they are too tired, busy or might be having some problems which will make them less interested to listen. With Jehovah the channel of healthy communication is open 24/7 & never abandon us in times of distress - Jehovah is the ideal Father, what a privilege!
