who is God?

i got up at my normal wake up time today so that i could get ready for church today as i do on most every sunday. today i have some extra time though because i don't have any extra sound tech work to do before church (which i just remembered in writing this that i do, so i will have to leave a few minutes early but that is fine). so because i have extra time, i thought that i would spend it in prayer for that is something that i struggle with, praying for long periods of set time. i thought that i would try to write it down to help me better stay focus, but a curious thought hit me. i enjoy writing. i like to spin words to make them sound nice or poetic or whatever. i like to write. so while thinking about writing out a prayer, i thought that if i were to do this, i would be writing and not praying. it would quickly turn into how do i want to state this rather than a conversation with God. i would be writing something nice but not sincere.
how often do we do this any ways in our normal day-to-day prayers? we talk one way in life and then we talk a different way to God, no, they should be the same. we first need to elevate our daily conversations but we also need to truthfully pray to God. it isn't good to say the "right" words and yet not even know what or possible even who you are talk to or about. we need to know the God we are praying to and we need to pray to the God that we know. we should look at our prayers and ask, "do we really believe that?" and go from there. there is also the other side, if we do believe it, does our lives show it? do we live as to the God that we pray to?
both sides of this is something that i am guilty of, which probably means that most people out there are guilty of at least half of this sin (which is really a whole sin but i won't get into that).
so then pray to the God that you know, and know the God that you pray to
