GOD AS FATHER: IMPLICATIONS IN PRAYER

When I come to God, I suspend judgment.

Not because I am brainwashed by religion, or scared, or a sheeple. But because I recognize I'm interacting with the One whose intelligence and wisdom is infinitely expanded compared to mine. There is no scale for comparison between me and Him on this dimension.

I come - not as a peer, or a partner, but as a blood-bought child. I bring my needs and desires to the feet of my Father and leave them there for Him to execute as He deems fit. 

I dare not attempt to micromanage the process and dictate timelines and specific deliverables  - as that is foolishness. How can I define joy, grace, peace, mercy, fullness, to the very Author of these concepts? 

I will be equally foolish if I attempt to make it a barter convo ("I've done this good work, now give me this..."), as that is also a demonstration of a lack of understanding. Because no matter how many good works I do, the scoreline is and will always be: God - 1000000: Me - 0. The blessing and benefit of the precious ransom His Son paid for me can never be matched by any "work" I do in this life or the hereafter.
