Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Hebrews 4:16

To enter the sanctuary of the living God, does not require a building or temple. The praises, coming from our hearts, lead us through the gates to His presence, where we stand face to face with the all powerful, all knowing living God. Standing in the presence of love itself. There is no greater feeling. It is certainly an experience that is hard to keep secret. The Holy Spirit lights the fire within our spirits, which refreshes and renews us. Makes you want to shout! The power and glory of God working through our lives. It is truly humbling. All pretence is gone. We are standing before God, the one who knows our deepest thoughts, and is aware of everything we have ever said or done. Being in His presence, we can learn and grow and understand, not only more of the character of God, but more of ourselves. It is like tapping into a great power source that never ends. When we have exhausted all our means and we look into the eyes of God, He takes hold of us and takes hold of what we are unable to, and does what we cannot even imagine.

Prayer

You are so worthy Lord! We praise You for all the many things You have done, and are doing in our lives. Renew our spirits and  refresh us with Your power. As we look into Your face, we see love that gives us life. We will shout Your praises! Our hearts will sing of Your goodness. You are our God. It is only Your glory that makes our lives worth living. It is You who can do in our lives what we could never have imagined. You know our weakness and You make us strong. You are our source of strength and hope. Thank You Lord! Amen.
