Scripture

So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.

Observation

Jesus is our great High Priest who has entered heaven. So let us hold firmly to the faith.

This High Priest has faced every temptation that we do, but remained without sin. We should boldly approach the throne of God to receive mercy and grace to help us .

Application

Because we know God loves us, we can approach His throne boldly. Boldly does not mean brashly or arrogantly. It means that we pray with confidence.

This confidence is not based on our own achievements, but on God’s grace. I have been forgiven by God. Jesus died for me. I am a child of the mighty, holy gracious God. Therefore, I can approach Him with confidence .

Our prayers don’t have to be theologically correct. We don’t have to pray answers. We come before God confidently and we lay our concerns, burdens, and cares at His feet .

Then we walk away metaphorically, knowing that God will supply what we need. We find mercy at the throne, but also grace from a God who loves us.

Prayer

Father, I thank you for your great love for me. Thank you for the privilege of being called your child. Thank for answering my prayers. Amen
