Come to Prayer Humbly and Boldy

[Paul "Mike" Kadow]

When you come to God in prayer, do you come trembling before the Living God?

Or do you come boldly?

We are admonished to do both. Yes we are to come boldly, but not glibly, insincerely, or superficially.

But with respect, with reverence, with humility, with awe at the incomprehensible God.

And when you start your prayers, do not start with a laundry list of requests

 It is better to first, spend some time in confession, in praise, in worship and thanksgiving.

But this is the one to whom I will look: he who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my word. (Isaiah 66:2b ESV)

 
Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:16 ESV)
