It is commonly accepted that prayer serves primarily to benefit the individual rather than God. The psalmist, in the opening of the book, exemplifies this belief by expressing gratitude for the opportunity to approach God's house and seek mercy, understanding that God does not accept sinners based solely on their own merits. This act of seeking assistance initiates a dialogue with God, as believers engage in the process of presenting their needs before Him, recognizing that God takes pleasure in hearing their cries. Through prayer, individuals actively engage in advocating for themselves before God, taking on a role akin to skilled heavenly advocates. This act of advocacy is not distant or detached, but rather fosters a close and honest relationship with God. Believers are encouraged to pour out their hearts before Him, unburdening themselves of sorrows and burdens, with the assurance that God will listen and respond. As individuals become more skilled in their prayer practice, they find that the language they use deepens their connection with the Divine Spirit. By drawing near to God, believers can expect God to draw near to them, resulting in a profound and transformative experience of divine intimacy. God not only takes pleasure in our prayers but also encourages us to persist in making our requests known, as seen in the psalms where the psalmist mentions presenting his requests daily and eagerly awaiting God's response.
