Amidah 3

Prayer is a privilege. Our Loving God offers us audience with Him at any time, at any place, and for any reason. This is an incredible invitation. We can speak to the Creator of the Universe (Ge 14:19), Our Mighty God (Lk 22:69), the King of Kings (1 Tim 6:15).

God is Holy (Ex 3:5; Ps 99:9). This means God is not a person like us (Nu 23:19; Job 9:32). God is Sinless (Ps 7:9; RO 1:17; Rev 15:4). God is not desirous of the things of the world. He is not tempted like us. God is not swayed in order to receive our approval. God is Holy, separate from the sins that taint our lives.
God is One (Deut 6:4), but His name Eloheim teaches us that God is Greater than one. His Might, His strength, His Knowledge and wisdom makes Him worthy of our praise, honor and awe.

God is love (1 John 4:8, 16). The Lord wants us to approach us and speak to Him (Ps 95:6). God is ever present. His name Yahweh means the God who is there (Ex 3:14). God is to be our banner (Ex 17:15), our Shepherd (Ps 23:1), and our Peace (Jud 6:24).

We are to approach God in awe and in recognition of His Holiness as we begin our prayer.
