Message:
Jesus unlocks the door and gives us boldness, access, and confidence with God. This profound truth from Ephesians 3:12 reminds us of the incredible gift we have through our relationship with Christ. It emphasizes that we are no longer outsiders or strangers, but rather we are welcomed into the very presence of the Almighty. Our faith in Jesus opens a path for us to approach God with assurance, knowing that we are loved and accepted. This access empowers us to share our hearts, seek His guidance, and confidently claim the promises He has made to us. As we navigate life’s challenges, we can rest in the knowledge that we have a direct line to a loving Father who desires to hear from us.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I come before You today with a heart full of gratitude and awe. Thank You for the incredible gift of access to Your presence through Jesus Christ. I am overwhelmed by the thought that, despite my shortcomings and failures, You invite me to approach You with boldness and confidence. Lord, I acknowledge that there are times when I hesitate to come to You, feeling unworthy or burdened by my worries. Yet, Your Word assures me that I can come boldly to Your throne of grace. Help me to truly understand the depth of this gift. May I never take it for granted, but instead live in the light of Your promise, embracing the joy that comes from knowing I am accepted by You.
As I face the challenges of this life, grant me the courage to approach You with all my concerns, my hopes, and my dreams. Teach me to be still and listen for Your voice amid the chaos. I ask that You would fill my heart with an unwavering faith that trusts in Your goodness and sovereignty. Help me to see the doors You are opening in my life and to walk through them with confidence, knowing You are with me every step of the way.
Lord, I lift up those who feel distant from You today, who may feel they lack the boldness to come before You. I pray that You would surround them with Your love, reassuring them that they are always welcome in Your presence. May they experience the peace that comes from knowing they have an invitation to draw near.
In moments of doubt, remind us of the truth that You are listening, that You are engaged in our lives, and that Your heart desires a close relationship with us. Transform our hesitation into trust, our uncertainty into confidence, and our fears into bold declarations of faith. With every prayer, let us be reminded of the amazing privilege we have in Christ. Thank You, Lord, for unlocking the door and enabling us to stand confidently before You. May our lives reflect the hope and assurance we have in You. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
