I think one of my problems is the that everything seems so formal that it just makes me uncomfortable. So maybe I need to address Him in a less formal way? I mean there are a lot of things He's called, so maybe picking one of the more casual ones will help in my praying...some more casual-sounding names of the Lord:
Jesus
Immanuel
If Father seems a bit to "old school" you could even use "Dad" though I'm not quite comfortable with that right now...
Avi-’ad (Hebrew) (“Everlasting Father,” “Eternal Father”) (Isaiah 9:6)
Jehovah
Shiloh (Hebrew) (Gen. 49:10)
Y'shua (Hebrew) (“Jehovah is Salvation”) in my experiences it has been pronounced (YEh-shew-uh)

So maybe this will help me, maybe it will help you. Let me know!
