It is amazing that a poor human creature is able to speak with God’s high Majesty in heaven and not be afraid. When we pray, the heart and the conscience must not pull away from God because of our sins and failures or stand in fear. When we pray we must hold fast and believe that God desires to hear our humble prayers. It was for this reason the ancients defined prayer as an Ascensus mentis ad Deum, “a climbing of the heart unto God.”
Almighty God,
Thank you that I can come to you this afternoon with my trivial issues and you bend you will to hear what I have to say. Awesome. Amen.
