The privilege of prayer!

I was thinking to myself how difficult it is for an average person like me to get to talk to say, the mayor. I can not just go straight to his house and talk to him out of the blues. I can imagine I have to schedule an appointment and go through certain steps before I can actually meet him. The higher you go whether it's local government, state or federal government, it becomes increasingly difficult for an average everyday guy like me to meet the higher-ups. The higher you go, the more hoops there are to jump and the more procedures there are to follow and the more important the issue to be talked about has to be. I can't just go straight to the Governor just to meet and have a cup of tea or something. 

We have to go through all these things just to see another human being like us. They are different from the average person because of status in society or accomplishments, but they are still human. They still err like us and in fact the more exalted the position, the more the expectation from society. But they are still human and not very far from you and me with the position, status, accomplishments and so on put aside.

Now think about God! The Head of the Most High, Everlasting Government which was and always will be! What kind of hurdles do we have to jump to talk to Him? None!

[16] For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
[17] And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. Colossians 1:15, 16.

The God who created everything as we know it and even those things which we can't see, the one who put even the thrones with which the heads we can not speak to directly, we can reach anytime and at will without any hurdles to jump.

The same God who as is written:

[12] Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
[13] Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counseller hath taught him?
[14] With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?
[15] Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance:... Isaiah 40:12-15

It is amazing to me that such a Great God can be humble enough to know the most seemingly minute details of our being as is written;

[30] But the very hairs of your head are all numbered  Matthew 10:30

If He is so great and yet He knows the hair on your head by number, and approachable by anyone from any walk of life, that is Awesome I think, as is written;

And the common people heard him gladly Mark 12:37

I would think that being so awesome, God would be so complicated so that only the learned and traveled would understand Him, great as He is. Yet anyone should be able to understand Him. Any attempts to meet a head of state would be vain, especially if you are an average person like me. As people, it seems that "birds of the same feather flock together" and the important keep company with those like them. Though there are exceptions, normally one has to be of a high stature in order to mix and mingle with those alike. 

But God is the opposite. He created all things and yet anyone can approach Him! Does not matter who you are, where you are from, what you have or how much you know. Anyone, and I mean anyone can approach Him. There are no protocols, procedures or stages in the process of talking to God and you or the matter you want to talk to Him about do not have to be important. Anyone can approach God and you can talk to Him about even the things most might regard as unimportant. There is nothing too small that He thinks it is unimportant. That's what really shows how awesome God is.

Being so great yet He knows the number of hairs on your head. As human beings, the more exalted our position in society, the more we think we are important and that certain things are beneath us. The greater we become, the more proud we become and yet God is the opposite. The more unimportant, helpless, irrelevant, weak, poor you might feel you are He sees the opposite as is written;

[26] For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
[27] But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
[28] And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
[29] That no flesh should glory in his presence. 1 Corinthians 1:26-29.

So it is a great privilege to be able to talk to God who created all things, and yet allows us to approach Him and even can relate with our condition and what we go through as is written;

[14] Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
[15] For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
[16] Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:14-16.

As human beings, the higher the stature in society, the harder we are to reach or to mingle with. I thank God that He is not like us, otherwise as Mighty, Great, Powerful, Important as He is, none and I mean NONE of us would be able to reach Him if He treated us the way we treat each other. And since we have such a great privilege to talk directly to the Most High, let us please use it as much as we can.
