It is talking with. There is something I have been learning little by little. And the simpler it gets, the truer it seems. For a long time, I thought praying was speaking to God. Speaking well… speaking correctly… speaking a lot… But, looking calmly at what Jesus taught, something began not to fit. --- He said we are not to use many words. He said the Father already knows what we need before we even ask. If He already knows… then why speak? That question stayed with me. --- With time, I began to notice something very simple. Praying is not speaking. Praying is **talking with**. And talking with is different. When two people truly talk, there is not only speech. There is pause. There is attention. There is presence. If one person speaks without stopping… that is not a conversation. It is a monologue. --- And, without realizing it, that is what I did with God for a long time. I spoke… explained… asked… tried to organize everything with words… and left. --- Until something began to change. I kept on speaking. But I began to stop. Not out of discipline. Not out of technique. But because I realized something was missing. --- And it was in that stopping that something different began to happen. It was not a voice. It was not something extraordinary. It was simpler than that. Sometimes a clarity came. Sometimes a discomfort. Sometimes a peace that made no sense. Sometimes I realized I was deceiving myself… and it became evident, without effort. --- That was when I began to understand: God does not need to understand what I say. He already knows. I am the one who begins to see, when I stop. --- Maybe that is why Jesus said to go into your room and close the door. It is not about the place. It is about leaving the noise… and staying. --- Today, if I had to explain it simply, I would say it this way: Praying is talking with God. It is speaking sincerely… stopping for a while… and paying attention to what happens inside you. --- Because that is where a lot of things change. Not because you spoke better. But because you began to see. --- And when we see… we no longer need to force change. It happens. --- Maybe prayer was never about convincing God of anything. Maybe it was always about this: **placing ourselves before Him…** **until the truth appears.** --- Maybe you have already noticed this… you just had never stopped to pay attention. --- *Footnote:* *“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites. They love to stand praying in the synagogues and on the street corners, so that others may see them. I assure you that they have already received their full reward. But when you pray, go to your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is in secret. Then your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.* *And when you pray, do not keep on repeating the same thing, as the pagans do. They think that by speaking much they will be heard. Do not be like them, because your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.* *You, pray like this:* *Our Father, who art in heaven!* *Hallowed be thy name.* *Thy Kingdom come;* *thy will be done,* *on earth as it is in heaven.* *Give us this day our daily bread.* *Forgive us our debts,* *as we forgive our debtors.* *And lead us not into temptation,* *but deliver us from evil.* *For if you forgive the offenses of others, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive one another, your heavenly Father will not forgive your offenses.”* *(Matthew 6:5–15, NVI)* --- If this stirred something in you, maybe these texts can help you take one more step: - [I Thought I Was Free](https://amemamem.com.br/eu-achava-que-era-livre/) - [Repentance as Revelation](https://amemamem.com.br/arrependimento-revelacao/) - [When Explanation Replaces Revelation](https://amemamem.com.br/quando-a-explicacao-substitui-a-revelacao/)
