2. Treat Him like a friend and father.
3. Consider your prayer as Dialogue, not as monologue.
4. Imagine He is some where next to you. God exist in our imagination. Think He is there. He is there.
5. Talk to Him as friend, get rid of flowery phrases. Talk to Him as you talk to your best friend. He desires our fellowship because He is like father who would like to share their best to their children.
6. Empty your thought. Listen to the quiet surrounding like the sound of bird, wind, grass, stream, and quietness.
7. In your solitudes, you begin to forget the rest of the world. In your deep listening and waiting, He will talk to you softly in your heart. Talk like a person and audible.
8. If you unsure the source of voices and spoken languages, pray in Jesus name, ask He is God.
Two sources are really helping me to get into this state of mind:
a. The Practice of the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence

b. Celebration of Discipline by Richard Foster
KL Plaza/ Ipod/ David Wright Music
