Understanding God's character transforms our prayer life. The Lord's Prayer and Psalm 23 reveal God as both holy and intimate - a perfect Father who runs toward us in our shame and a Good Shepherd who personally cares for the rejected. God is simultaneously transcendent in His holiness and immanent in His love. Like the father in the prodigal son story, He takes our shame upon Himself. Like a shepherd with a rejected lamb, He holds us close to His heart. When we grasp this dual nature of God, we pray with confidence, bringing everything to Him and pressing into His presence even in our worst moments.
