Look at your father.
How many times you said that you loved him or showed him affection of some sort?
How many times did you asked for his help on something that you needed, whatever that was?
How many times have you praised what`s good in him?
How many times did you apologized for something wrong you did or for having hurt him?
How many times have you helped him by easing his pain when he was sad or mad?
Haven`t you ever said thank you, for all that he gave you, for taking care of you and for being a good person?
God is your father and what you both have is a relationship.
When people pray, they thank Him, they ask for His help, His guidance, His forgiveness not just for you but for others. Praying is also an act of trust and courage, a showing to yourself and to God that the love and faith you have in you... you want to live it and for it to grow. The same way when you love someone.
