Look up to the sky. Take in its vastness. Look further and further, try to see its end. Then realize that beyond that is a whole new world consisting of only Malachim. Think about the vastness of all this while still looking up. Beyond that still, is another world, that is centered around the Kisei Hakavod. And beyond that there is only G-dlyness. Hashem is king of all this!
While it’s nice to Daven as if you are having a personal conversation, don’t lose sight of the Melech Malchei Hamlachim. Think about that before saying, “I’m angry at You”, again.
We say in Modem Derabbonon, Al Sheanachnu Modim Lach, which means that we thank Hashem for the privilege of being able to thank Him. We are tiny creatures who where just lucky enough to have recieved the Torah and where given the duty of praising Hashem. Try getting through to a successful CEO to tell him you like his tie. And yet, you have the availability to speak your heart to the King of Kings, the Ruler of all of nature, Master of what is below and what is above, and He listens.
