Reverence "the fear of the Lord" Proverbs 9:10
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
The fear being referred to in this verse is not being afraid of the Lord, but fear in the understanding of the awesome power of God. Think about this, anyone who can create the entire world in six days is deserving of our fear, our reverence.
When we bring our petitions before our Lord, we need to humble ourselves before him out of reverence. He has created the heavens and earth. He sent His son to be born as a baby and die a perfect man for our sins. Humbling of ourselves before Him out of reverence is the least we should do for Him out of reverence due Him to the Holiness He is.
