Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before Your throne of grace, boldly and confidently, as Your children, seeking Your mercy and grace in our time of need. We thank You for the assurance given to us in Hebrews 4:16, that we can approach You with confidence, knowing that You are a loving and compassionate God.
Lord, we acknowledge that we are in constant need of Your mercy and grace. We recognize that without Your intervention, our efforts and struggles would end in failure. We humbly ask for an outpouring of Your mercy upon us, forgiving us of our sins and shortcomings.
We also seek Your abundant grace, Lord. We long to experience the fullness of Your grace in our lives. Help us to understand the depth and breadth of Your grace that is available to us through prayer. May we not only know it intellectually but also experience it in our hearts and lives.
Father, we confess that we often underestimate the power of prayer. We ask for forgiveness for not fully realizing the privilege and blessing it is to come before Your throne. Help us to be constant and persistent in our prayers, never ceasing to seek Your face.
We thank You, Lord, for the precious gift of prayer in the name of Jesus Christ. We acknowledge that it is through His name that we have access to You and can find fullness of joy. We ask that You grant us the desires of our hearts according to Your will, that our joy may be made complete.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
