Lord, it's such a crazy thought that my prayers are "powerful and effective." That statement just blows my mind, even if I don't fully get it yet. What I do get, however, is this: because of my prayers, something happens. My prayers do something. They have impact. That's such a crazy concept, Father, and I pray that I would come to understand it more.
It's also crazy just to think that I can pray. That I can commune with you. Before you took our sins upon you, communion with you was blocked by a veil. When you died that veil literally tore apart. A personal relationship with the God of the Universe became possible for even the lowliest person. That's incredible, and like the other idea I mentioned, I don't completely get it. I don't think I'll ever be able to grasp it while I'm on Earth. What I do understand of it blows my mind; it seems impossible that I, a sinner, could have an intimate relationship with the Lord, with the Ruler, with the Master of the Universe. And that you want that relationship with me, well...it's amazing.
