Good communication is beneficial for all involved.  It is especially important to have good communication with God.  How is this done?  First of all, you must be on speaking terms with God.  In order to be on speaking terms, you must ask Jesus to forgive you and cleanse you of your sins and you must then stop sinning.  Now that your heart is pure and clean, God can come close to you and hear you when you speak to Him.  You now can also hear Him when He speaks to you.

When we pray to God, it is important to be respectful, humble, and thankful.  We must not demand of God what we want.  It is fine to ask God for things that we need or want, but we should always thank God for what He has done for us and praise Him for his greatness and power.  We should also pray that He will help others besides ourselves.

Communication can become twisted when it is passed along as gossip and rumors.  God does not want us to gossip.  It is important to keep our communication clear and to the benefit of those around us.

"...the prayer of the upright is his (the Lord's) delight."  Proverbs 15:8

"Speak not evil one of another, brethren..."  James 4:11
