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

What a comforting invitation this verse brings, especially as we “age gracefully.” Life brings its share of struggles, both big and small. God’s throne isn’t a distant, intimidating place, but a “throne of grace” — a place of welcome, mercy, and abundant help.

We can approach Him with confidence, not because of our own merit, but because of Jesus’ sacrifice. Let us then, with hearts full of gratitude, bring our joys, our concerns, our weaknesses, and our needs to Him. He is faithful and ready to pour out His grace and mercy upon us, providing exactly what we need in every season.

Thank You, Father, for inviting us to come to You in every need, and thank You for supplying our needs through Your Son. In His name. Amen.

Reflect: Make a prayer list, and bring each need to God in prayer.
