ויגש אליו יהודה ויאמר בי אדני (ויגש מד:יח)

We could learn from these words how to approach our Teflilah – prayer: 

When a person wants to approach Hashem – “ויגש” – in prayer, he should not think lowly of himself. 

On the contrary: 

• He should say – “ויאמר”
• I have in myself – “בי”
• A holy neshama – “אדני” – a חלק אלוקה ממעל – a heavenly portion that is part of the One Above.

This gives the feeling of connection to Hashem, so when Davening, one is more reassured that he is being listened to.
