Let Us Come Boldly to the Throne of Grace

Therefore since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession. For we do not have a high priest incapable of sympathizing with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way just as we are, yet without sin. Therefore let us confidently approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and find grace whenever we need help. (Hebrews 4:14-16, NET Bible)

Praise and thank God for who He is and for the privilege of cooperating with Him in this exciting ministry. (Philippians 4:6-7; James 5:13-16; Colossians 4:2)
