"Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need." The Hebrews writer encourages the Hebrew Christians to “draw near” to God's throne because they have the privilege of a personal relationship with God. Christians can come before God confidently and without fear that they will incur God's wrath because they have a High Priest, Jesus, Who identifies with His people because of his human experience and the sufferings he endured. Therefore, take your needs to God in prayer and speak plainly and honestly but with respect and reverence, knowing that Jesus was tempted in every area of human life just like you, yet He remained sinless, thus qualifying Him to intercede before God's throne for you.
