why i pray

i pray, because i am imperfect. when i long for more of Him, its beacuse i dont have enough, because my soul knows i am imperfect. my entire life on this earth will be lived the best i can for Him, but everyday i will pray and repent, asking for forgiveness for my failures. sometimes that will be sins ive comitted, othertimes it will be when ive fallen short. when i had something to give, but what i gave was flawed, imperfect, impure. but this is where i find His grace, mercy, forgiveness, love, compassion. the Lord will not hold my flaws against me, He sent His son to prove it. i should rejoice in my flaws, for when i recognize them, they drive me to draw nearer to Him, they cause me to strive for more of His presence. Even if im asking for forgiveness, im asking it from Him. and when i receive it, its from His hand directly. when i sin and God forgives me, God HIMSELF, the God of the universe, of everything, takes note of me and touches me. even in His unfathomable, limitless, greatness, God is humble enough to forgive a person like me.
