Come Boldly to the Throne of Grace

Heb 4:16

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

KJV

We are here instructed to come boldly to the throne of grace. Why? Because we can trust in the way of salvation that Jesus has opened for us. It has nothing to do with our merit. We have nothing in ourselves that we can feel proud of. Jesus didn't see any merit in us that caused Him to provide us a way to be saved. It's only by His saving grace that we have this wonderful opportunity. So, we can come boldly, but will He here and understand our needs? We are allowed to petition the Almighty God of the Universe, but can he understand our trifling needs and troubles? Of course! He has created us. He understands us better than we understand ourselves. He even suffered just as we do during His life here on earth. He knows what we're feeling and He wants to help us. Al we need to do is ask.

 
 

Lord, help me to avail myself of the wonderful privilege to come to you. Help me to come to You often. Help me to be humbled by Your greatness and by Your willingness to condescend to listen to the prayers of Your people. Thank You for listening and help me to learn to speak. Help me, even more to learn to listen when You speak.
