 welcome to your daily prayer but glad to have you listening with us today's topic is confidence will return with the devotional after a brief message from one of our sponsors
 approach god with confidence written and read by Jessica and real cool
 since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens Jesus the son of God let us hold fast to our confession but we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses the one who in every respect has been tempted as we are yet without sin let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace that we may receive mercy and find Grace to help us in time of need Hebrews 4 14 through 16
 I'm not a huge fan of revealing my vulnerabilities I'd much rather keep them hush-hush thank you very much I suspect I'm not alone people wound other people and there are times when it's tempting to judge God based on human actions a close friend who betrays our confidence and uses it as a weapon can create a cautiousness and how we approach other people in God the idea of drawing near God's throne with confidence can fill us with trepidation will God reject will he turn his back can we be vulnerable before God or do we need to wear a facade of strength Jesus knew our struggles and yet he resisted Temptation while we fail and fall Jesus always resisted and prevailed on a friend what a confidence we have in him he sympathizes with our weaknesses yet remains our example to press through to Victory Jesus knows our weaknesses and our weaknesses
 tell him with compassion because of this we can approach God knowing that he welcomes and desires our prayers we don't have to be strong before we approach God we don't have to have it all figured out before we ask for help yet we often struggle with this our society promotes Perfection and parades imperfection as a cautionary tale of what not to do when bee this creates internal pressure because we can feel the need to hide much of ourselves hit God knows us inside and out he knows our strengths and our weaknesses and his love for us doesn't change based on that knowledge his love is a compassionate love that is ready and willing to help us in our time of need. Provide it's all we need in any circumstance he offers peace to the anxious heart he brings Joy to the cheerless face his hand stays steady and sure his Blessing
 follow the offense cycle if we sow to The Flash and our Harvest consists of anger doubt bitterness and the like but if we sow to the spirit we were peace Joy love peace patience kindness and many more attributes
 if sometimes we need help with the selling because we say yes instead of no two choices that reinforce the idea that we must be perfect before we approach God but God wants us to come to him and depend on him for help the throne of grace In this passage refers to the meeting place where all of God's favor wisdom help love Mercy forgiveness wisdom spiritual power and Gifts blow how wonderful and marvelous is this place and it's ours to be had if we choose to come a prayer for the confidence holy God I stand In Awe before you because you are willing to take me as I am forgive me for holding myself apart because I believe the falsehood that I need to be strong before I come to you you sent your son Jesus to intercede for me and because of that I can come with confidence Before You Here I Am Lord broken
 bruised and looking for belonging I find everything I need in you from you I received the grace to face the doctor's diagnosis is because of you that I can love my prodigal child your joy teaches me how to hold my sorrow and not lose hope thank you for making me confident in you I come to you today and wait for your grace in Jesus's name amen
