How do you pray to a God without parts in divine simplicity?

[SofiaBT]

I’ve been trying to understand the concept of divine simplicity and how it relates to prayer. If God is without parts or composition, as this teaching says, what am I actually addressing when I speak in a personal way during worship? It makes the nature of that relationship feel abstract in a way I can't quite reconcile with my own experience.

I’ve tried praying like this: I name what’s real for me—sorrow, gratitude, fear—and then I sit with it. If God is simple and without parts, the you I address isn’t a thing I build. It’s me showing up with my own questions and fatigue.

When people say divine simplicity, it sometimes helps me stop picture‑building. I’m speaking to the whole God, not to a bundle of attributes, and the sense of relationship arrives in the quiet after the words, in the breath between sentences.

[James.J]

I’m not sure I’m hitting the mark. My prayers feel like a conversation with something bigger, but the more I think about it the more I wonder if I’m just talking to my own longing dressed up as God.

I keep wondering if the real problem isn’t the doctrine at all but my own impatience. Am I asking for the wrong thing when I address God this way?
