Q214. Why will God have us pray?
Because he would be acknowledged by thee, that he is above thee, and therefore would have thee come to him as the mean come to the mighty. Thus Abraham came unto him.

Genesis 18:27,30
“And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the LORD, which am but dust and ashes: And he said unto him, Oh let not the LORD be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.”
