He is not a tame lion - 1 Samuel 3:19-7:2

Father we treat you as a pet to be coddled and discarded.
We treat you as a lucky charm in the midst of our life battles.
We desire your presence and your deliverance but not your exclusive demand for our worship.
May we know something of your greatness.
May we bow to your sovereign rule over all the gods of our hearts.
May we not dismiss their behaviour as unlike our own
But instead reflect on our fickle hearts and our feeble love.
And like Samuel may we treasure you alone…
