We must approach God with an attitude of sincerity. Prayer is not merely asking God for all we need or want. It is interaction with the Creator of the universe. It is an essential way in which God transforms us into his likeness. Our hearts must be broken when we approach the living God. Without humility and brokenness, we will be like the Pharisee who prayed, “God, I thank you that I am not like other people” (Luke 18:11). When we come to him humbly, God’s heart will be very open to us, and in prayer we can encounter God anew.
“I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
Luke 18:14 NIV
