Bolder Prayers: Approach God with Confidence
Adapted from Quiet Times with God
Therefore let us [with privilege] approach the throne of grace [that is, the throne of God’s gracious favor] with confidence and without fear, so that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find [His amazing] grace to help in time of need….
Not only can we go to God in prayer during our quiet times with Him, but we can pray boldly, which means without fear and unreservedly. Jesus has made a way for us to approach God with boldness because He made us righteous through His death on the cross. Because of what He has done for us, we can go to God with total confidence and pray unashamedly, knowing that He loves us, hears us, and will answer our prayers in the best way possible.
Jesus has made us worthy, and when we approach God boldly, we can count on Him to be merciful to us. Mercy means that God doesn’t punish us as our sins deserve, and He blesses us in ways that we don’t deserve to be blessed—if we are bold enough to ask.
Prayer of the Day: Father, thank You for making me righteous through Jesus. Help me pray boldly, trusting Your mercy and love, knowing You will answer in the best way, amen.
