A Prayer about Drawing Near to the Throne of Grace
Gracious Father,
In these days between Christmas and New Year’s,
some of us find ourselves in seasons of doubt.
Some feel regret over Christmas conflicts,
others feel remorse over sins habitually committed.
Wherever we find ourselves,
may we hear you calling us
to confidence:
Draw near to the throne of grace!
There you will find your sympathetic priest,
“who was tempted in every way and yet without sin” (Hebrews 4:15)
He became the perfect sacrifice
and presented this sacrifice to me,
and now, united with him,
you are cleansed from your sins.
Come to me with confidence.
You will find mercy and grace
to help you in your time of need.”
Forgiving Father, of all the invitations
we may receive this holiday season,
none is so generous and comforting as this one.
Thank you!
May we receive and believe it.
In the name of our sympathetic priest, Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Read Hebrews 4:14-16.
