talking to God

I talk so much.
I talk to my friends, to my parents, to my dog, to myself. So whey is it so hard to talk to God? Is my life really so busy that I don't have time to talk with Him?
Prayer is not good to do, it is vital. It is ridiculously important for the survival of our faiths.
Jimmyj points out in his blog that we realize the importance of this verse, "Rising very early before dawn, he left and went off to a deserted place, where he prayed." - Mark 1:35
Jesus found time to pray, even though he lead an incredibly demanding life. If Jesus needed to talk to our heavenly father how much more do we need to?
So how do we realistically find time to talk to God? Factoidz gives these ideas:
Pray while waiting in the doctor’s office
Pray while waiting in line at the grocery store
Pray for the kids you see
And pray for yourself.

And always remember how we should pray.

" Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one."
