We’re really blessed that even in our weakest and most broken moments, we can still come to God with confidence instead of fear. And when life feels heavy, it helps to remember to turn to Him for mercy and grace. Gently lay everything you’re carrying before Him and take a moment to pray this.

Dear God,

I am deeply grateful for the privilege to be able to approach Your throne of grace with confidence and that I have You to depend on in times of need. Rather than hiding in fear or shame, I choose to come to You boldly—give me mercy for my failures, shortcomings, and sins, guide me in the right direction and steer me away from people who take me off path, and strengthen my soul to receive the blessings that await.

I trust that Your grace will help me during this time of need, and that You desire to help rather than condemn me. Thank You that I can bring my daily struggles, my relationship challenges, my work stress, and my deepest fears to Your throne, knowing You will meet me with mercy and grace.

Amen.
