"The statement is made "prayers are not physical things". That sets the mental picture that we as physical humans cannot approach God."

=============================================================

No, that absolutely does not set the mental picture that we as physical humans cannot approach God (unless you are speaking about something like physically flying up to heaven in the flesh, and physically falling on the floors of heaven).

Earthly human prayers are expressed through thoughts (mental pictures) and vocalizations, and that does not at all say that we cannot approach God directly.    That is a fiction.

Is that like throwing raw liver against the wall, which happens to be a hobby of mine.

John 4:23 but, there cometh an hour, and it now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also doth seek such to worship him; 24 God is a Spirit, and those worshipping Him, in spirit and truth it doth behove to worship.'
