Speaking to God like he's my Best~Friend

The speaker describes their relationship with God, seeing Him as a trusted therapist and a faithful listener. They pray to God as if speaking to a friend who knows their hidden heartaches. They feel their burdens lightened and find solace in the words of the Bible. They made a promise to God to help ease others' pain and offer support. They want to be a guiding presence for others, to help them out of darkness and break the cycle of pain. Speaking to God like He's my best friend. For me, God has been my most trusted therapist, my most faithful listener. I speak to Him aloud like Moses did on a mountaintop, my voice rising, not in reverence to some unreachable power, but as a frank divine in heartache and hope. That's how I was taught to pray, as if I was speaking to a friend who knew and cared for every hidden heartache. In those moments, I felt my burdens lightened, His quiet presence lifting the weight I thought I carried alone. The Lord would speak to Moses face-to-face as one speaks to a friend, Exodus 33, 11. His words carved on the pages of the Bible became balm to my wounds. My wife's counselor, a gentle guide on this righteous path. I made a silent promise to Him, an oath to sit together in the quietness of my beating heart. If He would grant me the strength to ease another's pain, to be the hand that holds and holds stills thin, I would live for this purpose. So here I am, standing beside you. Offering a glimpse of life, a lifeline, so you won't have to endure the suffering I once knew when I felt alone through a cursed spirit, Psalm 34, 18. In these words, let there be a whisper of solace, a reminder that you're not alone. I've been where you are, and now by His grace, I'm here to help you find a way through, even if it's temporary. For if I could help guide someone out of the darkness, to be that one person I wish for in despair. Maybe I could help change this world, one person at a time, for the better. Because in my truest of pains, all of that suffering could have been avoided if I chose the people who cared for me, instead of those that didn't. I may have not known how to handle my pain as a kid, but as a man, I would try to break the cycle that repeats, to free someone else of infeasible chains.
