How to Talk to Jesus

Do you know how to talk to Jesus? As a newly born-again believer, learning how to talk to Jesus can be tricky, especially when you don’t have a lot of spiritual guidance. To talk to Jesus, there’s just one thing you have to do, and do with fervour: pray (in any prayer style).

Prayer is one way to tangibly talk to Jesus: it allows you to communicate your concerns, pleas, and blessings with Jesus using words. To pray, all you have to do is talk to Jesus. Talking to Jesus could look like speaking the words you want to say to Him in your mind or aloud with the faith that he’s there. That’s it. Prayer isn’t some complicated academic or pious thing with wrong and right ways to do it. It’s a way to connect with God, just as you would with family.

Jesus loves when we talk to him, even about little things going on in our day and what we’re thinking about. Not every prayer has to be a special thing. All He wants is our total devotion and faith.

What the Word Says

Persistent prayer is part of building a relationship with Jesus. You can see this in the Bible in Ephesians 6:18; “And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

This verse says you should pray in the Spirit (in your head) with all kinds of prayers (intercession, supplication, petitioning) and requests (it doesn’t matter what you pray about)…always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people (you, your community, and others). As you’ve read, the Lord doesn’t demand that we talk to Jesus in some pious or overly complex way, just that we pray to Him and believe with all our hearts.
