Importance

Why might prayer help me to feel important enough so that I don’t have to seek the approval of others to feel important?  In prayer, I might very well come into contact with a Power, God, Spirit, greater than me, that is not condemning, but humbly being present to me.  So What?  Well, if this Power likes being with me, and it is greater than I am, maybe I am good enough for this God to be with me.  Is not the presence of someone who loves me, enough to give me the sense of importance, value, worth?  I find it so. And if this power is humble, maybe being humble myself and not seeking outside approval is just fine for today in all I do, or don’t do.
