Come to God with confidence
The writer of Hebrews reminds us that Jesus, our high priest, understands our weaknesses. He faced temptation without sinning. Because of Him, we can come to the Father with confidence, even when we feel ashamed or struggle to find the words to pray.
So let us approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us when we need it.” Hebrews 4:16 English rendering based on NVI
The writer of Hebrews reminds us that Jesus, our high priest, understands our weaknesses. He faced temptation without sinning. Because of Him, we can come to the Father with confidence, even when we feel ashamed or struggle to find the words to pray.
God invites us to come to Him in our need. We can tell Him where we have failed and ask for mercy. We can also ask for the grace to take the next step, whether that means admitting a mistake, asking for help, or facing a difficult conversation with patience.
Pause and reflect
Bring one need to God that you have been reluctant to talk about. Tell Him plainly what happened and what help you need today. Ask God, in the name of His Son Jesus, to remove from your heart everything that does not come from the fruit of the Holy Spirit, renew your strength, and fill you with His Holy Spirit.
Today’s prayer
Abba Father, You are God. Thank You for choosing me and rescuing me through Your Son Jesus. Thank You that I can come to You with confidence. Have mercy on me where I have failed, and give me the grace I need today. Remove from my heart everything that does not come from the fruit of Your Holy Spirit. Renew my strength and fill me with Your Holy Spirit. Help me turn to You when I need help and take the next step with courage. I ask this in the name of Your beloved Son Jesus. Amen.
