When we kneel before the Father with unclean lips (Isaiah 6:5) and nothing more than filthy rags to offer (Isaiah 64:6), one can’t help but wonder why a holy God would ever listen to our prayers much less take care of us! Even though He made us a little lower than the angels and crowned us with honor and glory (Psalms 8:4-5), whom amongst us in our shame and humility have not struggled with finding the right requests and words that are fitting to ask of a sovereign, all knowing God? Sometimes we don’t ask God for the “small” things of our daily lives because we feel our requests are too insignificant to bother, He who holds this entire universe together (Colossians 1:16)! And due to our lack of faith we often don’t ask God for really “big” things in life out of fear that He won’t grant our request and we end up being heart-broken, feeling rejected or looking foolish to ourselves or to others. After all, whom amongst us has not had their faith weakened when they prayed and God took a long time to answer or simply said NO to their request! Even if we get the courage to state our requests to God, what words does one use to make one’s petitions known? If only we knew how to speak in the voices of angels, then our requests could be made with confidence, rejoicing and thanksgiving in our hearts for what God is about to do in our lives (Philippians 4:4-7)! Today’s sermon is going to review Apostle Paul’s great Doxology and in doing so will reveal with what kind of attitude we are to have when praying to a holy God.
