God wants us to communicate and consult with Him all day long as we would with any friend who is walking with us. Sometimes we can sit quietly with His Word and listen for His answers while asking for wisdom. Other times we are busy with our day and He is with us always. When we have a problem with something we can ask His direction. When we have joys we can be thankful to Him. When we have trials we can praise Him for the learning and the final answer. In other words, He is our constant companion, going through everything with us.
Matthew 6:7-9 "…
"7 And when you pray, do not babble on like pagans, for they think that by their many words they will be heard. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him. 9 So then, this is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.…"
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
"16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."
We know how closely we walk with God by our immediate response to trials, is our first thought to seek Christ, or is He someone we seek when we can't figure it all out? A good question for us to ask ourselves.
