After all, how could you not feel a sense of powerlessness when interacting with the almighty? But still, even beggars have some power, and I thought it was an apt portrayal of the relationship with God in Prayer. I also liked the description of 'raising' ones heart and mind to God, as it is God who is above us all. Lastly, I liked the perspective of seeing God as a designer, and the almost rhetorical question of 'who would you ask about something that was designed if you had a question - the designer! Overall this was a good short course (and my first), and I look forward to my learning on Catholic Online School. Thanks very much, God Bless!”
