Why should we come to God like children?

Answered in 1 source

We should come to God like children to embody dependence, trust, and sincerity in our relationship with Him.

Jesus commands us to approach Him with the heart of a child, embodying qualities such as dependence, openness, and sincerity. In Matthew 18:3, He teaches, 'Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.' This childlike attitude is characterized by total dependence on God, recognizing our inability to stand without His grace. Moreover, children trust their parents and come to them openly without pretense; likewise, we must approach God with authenticity, acknowledging our weaknesses and seeking His help. By coming as children, we embrace our need for God, ensuring that our relationship with Him is genuine and filled with trust and humility.
