You can boldly come to God!

“So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.” (Heb. 4:16 NLT)

There once was a powerful king who ruled with an iron hand. If anyone dared approach him without permission, he would be immediately put to death. The king had a son, still a toddler, that he dearly loved. One day, while the king was holding court, the little boy heard his father’s voice, broke loose from his caretaker's grip, ran into the room, and yelled loudly, “Daddy!” He ran right to him, jumped onto his lap, and said, “Hi Daddy, I heard your voice! I am hungry. Can I have something to eat?" The king smiled, embraced his son, and ordered some food for him. That is a picture of how we can approach God. You can approach Him boldly in your time of need! He loves you!
