In him we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.
Have you ever felt like you need to clean yourself up before coming to God? Like He's distant, busy, or disappointed in you? This verse flips that thinking upside down. Because of Jesus, you don't approach God as a stranger hoping for a favor—you come as family.
Think about how a child walks into their parent's room. No appointment, no rehearsed speech, no fear of being turned away. That's the kind of access you have. Your faith in Him is your invitation, not your performance.
So today, pray the real prayer. Bring the messy, tired, doubtful words you've been holding back. Don't wait until you feel 'spiritual enough'—you already have permission to come close.
And carry that confidence into the rest of your day. When insecurity whispers that you don't belong, remind yourself that in Christ, you do. Boldness isn't about being loud; it's about being sure of whose you are.
Dear Lord, thank You that through Jesus I can come to You boldly, just as I am. Help me live today with that confidence—not because I'm strong, but because You welcome me. Amen.
