Our Father, we do not crouch before you, like slaves before a tyrant, but feel the spirit of adoption, which shall draw us into familiar fellowship with you.
Though still, we approach you with holy trembling, for you are God in heaven, and we are still but men upon the earth, and at the very sight of you we feel a trembling coming over us; yet there is joy with it; and you have taught us to rejoice with trembling (Psalm 2:11).
