It’s okay to address God with nicknames and personal names. This minimizes the boundary in your relationship and adds familiarity and makes it more personable rather than formal and cold.

this is an absolutely incredible book. it is so simple, so profound, and so genuinely helpful. it is the only book on prayer i’ve read that is genuinely helpful in practice. he most spoke to me through his starting point- “the absence of God.” something all who have prayed have felt, and he moves out from this locus into a bit of contemplative prayer, as well as liturgical prayer, and extemporaneous prayer. each one he talks about so beautifully as well as agreeably.

beautifully written , articulated, and a clear window into the soul of one who has seen God and loved God. full recommend to anyone who is seeker a deeper encounter with all that is Good.

ps evangelicals are hardcore encouraged to read and get over themselves that Father Anthony Bloom is eastern orthodox and just learn from this King

A fantastic book on prayer for any Christian going through challenges in "connecting" with God.

Stunning work on prayer. A lifetime of praying and seeking after God will still leave us as amateurs dependent on grace.
