"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." Hebrews 4:16
Most of us confess that we find it difficult to draw near God in prayer – much less in doing it confidently!
I sometimes wonder if the words to the Santa Claus song "You better watch out. You better not pout. You better not cry I am telling you why" haven’t spilled over and become our default thinking about God rather than the view expressed through this verse in Hebrews.
Though it has a jolly tune, the message is anything but inviting!
Remember how it goes?
