Many times in the Bible, believers are referred to as sheep. It's possible to draw a lot from that analogy, but I am thinking of something more basic.
There is a certain trust you get when you take good care of a pet. Perhaps not turtles or fish, but I always feel good when my cat deigns to curl up on my lap. And when a dog hops up beside you and collapses with her head on your knee, well, that shows true trust.
And that's how we should feel when we talk to God. Confident that he will take care of us, trusting that he knows best, perfectly content to draw close and fall asleep, knowing he will protect us and provide for us.
There are worse things than being God's lap dog.
