Hebrews 4:15, 16  For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way as we are, yet without sin. Therefore, let us approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in time of need. (CSB)

Hebrews 4:14-16  Now that we know what we have—Jesus, this great High Priest with ready access to God—let’s not let it slip through our fingers. We don’t have a priest who is out of touch with our reality. He’s been through weakness and testing, experienced it all—all but the sin. So let’s walk right up to him and get what he is so ready to give. Take the mercy, accept the help. (MSG)

Everyone struggles with something. No person is immune to problems. Some temptations are too powerful for us to overcome every time. We need help. 

This confession that we need help is the beginning of wisdom. It is the beginning of hope. It is an acknowledgment of truth. 

The good news is that there is Good News. Jesus has made a way for us to enter God’s presence with confident assurance that we will get what we need to overcome our problems. 

Verse 16 above says, “Therefore, let us approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in time of need.” 

The Message paraphrases these words this way: “So let’s walk right up to him and get what he is so ready to give. Take the mercy, accept the help.”

Take the mercy.

Accept the help. 

There’s more mercy than all the messes of your life require. There’s more help than you could ever ask for. 

You have a sure hope and a confident prayer. 

I will ask God for what I need to overcome the problems I struggle with.

Our Father, I am weak, but you are strong. Thank you for mercy. Thank you for help. Thank you for your amazing grace. Here, I confess my struggles. Here, I receive your healing and help. Amen.

Daily D – Psalm 106:1-3

Psalm 106:1-3
Praise the LORD!
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good!
His faithful love endures forever.
Who can list the glorious miracles of the LORD?
Who can ever praise him enough?
There is joy for those who deal justly with others
and always do what is right.

Psalm 103:1-5
Let all that I am praise the LORD;
with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name.
Let all that I am praise the LORD;
may I never forget the good things he does for me.
He forgives all my sins
and heals all my diseases.
He redeems me from death
and crowns me with love and tender mercies.
He fills my life with good things.
My youth is renewed like the eagle’s!

Psalm 86:5-7
O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive,
so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help.
Listen closely to my prayer, O LORD;

I will call to you whenever I’m in trouble,
and you will answer me.

Daily D – Psalm 84:5-7

Psalm 84:5-7
And how blessed all those in whom you live,
whose lives become roads you travel;
They wind through lonesome valleys, come upon brooks,
discover cool springs and pools brimming with rain!
God-traveled, these roads curve up the mountain,
and at the last turn—Zion! God in full view!
