When going to the Lord in prayer I place myself in the position of a child seeking their earthly daddy. God is Abba Father to me. I can run to Him with childlike trust knowing that He will catch me when I fall. My Abba Father doesn’t just know I’m calling out to Him, He inclines His ear to my heart so He not only knows the words that are coming out of my mouth He knows that what He is hearing is the abundance of what is in my heart. He knows me by name, He knows my heart.

That God ‘protects the simple-hearted’
The Lord protects the unwary. -
To model after Jesus and pray about all things. God’s desire is that we pray and He will hear our voice.

Psalm 116:1-2, “I love the LORD because He hears my voice and my prayer for mercy. Because He bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath.” This scripture really encouraged me because I had never thought of God bending down and coming close to me to hear my prayers. It is a very intimate picture. I imagined my prayers having to go up to heaven to reach Him, never that He would come close to me to hear my prayer. Like a Father looking in on his child as they pray.
