In other words I don't believe anyone truly knows, nor are we supposed to.....we'll find out soon enough I guess.
Prayer is used to talk to God. We pray, and one way we are answered is with the yearning we feel.


When Jesus prayed to God, he called Him 'daddy', very informally and familiar, because the Christian God is a personal God that is that close to us. If your idea of God is some remote Creator that doesn't interact with the universe, or our tiny corner of it, then that's not my idea of what the Christian view of God is.



Just because you choose not to hear Him doesn't mean he's not speaking to you right now!

God is a mystery, so yes, noone can truly know God. However, there are aspects of God that can be understood by human minds.
