Draw Near
Heb 4:16 - Let us therefore draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace to help in time of need.
I once worshipped under a pastor that everytime he called us to prayer said, "Let us draw near to the throne of grace." So much so that we made fun of him for it, but what a wonderful image and what a wonderful priviledge. In prayer, we approach a King that could just as easily send us away. That should inspire in us confidence and fear, awe and gratitude. As you approach God today, and as you pray for GBC and the other things in your life, recall this image and attempt to feel what you would feel were it more than an image.
