Re: Verse reading–Hebrews 4:14-5:10 (Day Three)
“He was heard because of his reverent submission.” Until one fears God, prayer is a placebo. It might be eloquent. It might be solemn. One might even really mean it. But until one approaches God with the understanding that though he is love, he is also dangerous, prayer will accomplish nothing except to bring a little comfort to the mind—and that only temporarily. Our Lord took God seriously. And God heard him.
