Our Gracious God

I love Heb 4.14 in the NLT: So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most. It's a rather stunning truth that we can come to the Creator of the universe boldly; this would be something akin to an ant coming to an elephant boldly. Such is the nature of our gracious God; he wants us to come boldly. What do we find there? Mercy and grace when we need it most. God is adept at giving us just what we need, just when we need it (and not a moment sooner usually).

Prayer: May I, Lord, come boldly to your throne. You are the gracious God. You promise mercy and grace. You will give what you promise.
