Hebrews 4:16 (NIV) "Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need."
Today’s Scripture Lesson
Prayer is not a timid request at a closed door; it is confident access to the very throne of grace. Hebrews 4:16 reminds us that, because of Jesus, we can come boldly before God. We don’t come in our own righteousness, but clothed in His.
God’s throne is not one of condemnation but of mercy. It's where grace flows freely and help is always available. No matter how weak, broken, or uncertain you feel, you are invited to come close.
Confidence in prayer doesn't come from having perfect words but from knowing you are perfectly loved. God delights in your approach and is ready to respond.
How to Apply This Scripture Passage to Your Life
- Pray Boldly and Often: Don’t hold back in prayer. Come as you are, knowing you are welcomed.
- Expect Mercy and Grace: Believe that God is not only able but willing to help you.
- Rest in His Presence: Make the throne of grace your first refuge, not your last resort.
A Prayer for Today
Father, thank You for the privilege of approaching Your throne. I come with confidence, not in myself, but in Christ. Pour out Your mercy and grace in my life. Help me to draw near in every season. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
