pray for confidence in God’s presence – we are invited to engage with God as beloved children, fully assured of His presence and love.

Message: Jesus unlocks the door and gives us boldness, access, and confidence with God. This profound truth rooted in Ephesians 3:12 reminds us of the incredible opportunity we have to approach our Creator without fear. The barriers that once separated us from God have been removed through Christ’s sacrifice. With this access comes a call to embrace the courage we’ve been given. We are no longer prisoners of doubt, shame, or insecurity. Instead, we are invited to engage with God as beloved children, fully assured of His presence and love. In this relationship, we flourish, finding our true identity and purpose. As we navigate the complexities of life, let us remember that we can approach God boldly, bringing our hopes, fears, and dreams to Him. His invitation to come close is one of love and grace, encouraging us to seek His wisdom and guidance in every aspect of our lives. This confidence is not rooted in our abilities or accomplishments but in the faithfulness of God, who desires a deep connection with each of us. May we embrace this gift and step into His presence with unwavering trust. Prayer: Heavenly Father, we come before You today with hearts full of gratitude for the access we have through Jesus. Thank You for unlocking the door that leads to Your heart, allowing us to approach You with boldness and confidence. We recognize that, on our own, we are unworthy, but in Christ, we are made new. We are grateful for the love that invites us to bring our whole selves before You, knowing that we are accepted and cherished as Your beloved children. Lord, help us to embrace the courage and strength that come from being in Your presence. When doubts and fears creep in, remind us of the promises that You have made. Help us to trust that we are not alone in our struggles and that Your grace is sufficient for every challenge we face. Let us not shy away from approaching You in prayer, worship, or even in moments of silence. May we always seek Your guidance, allowing Your Spirit to lead us toward the truth. As we step into the world, may we carry this boldness with us, shining the light of Your love in our interactions with others. Help us to share the hope that we find in You, extending invitations to those around us to experience the same access and connection that has transformed our lives. Give us the wisdom to know when to speak and when to listen, enabling us to encourage others in their journeys. Let our lives reflect the confidence we have in You, not because of who we are, but because of who You are. Lord, remind us of our identity in You and the fact that we can come before You without hesitation. Thank You for the incredible privilege of being in relationship with You. We pray all of this in the name of Jesus, who is our Savior and our friend. Amen.
