From Scripture we know that this <strong>boldness<\/strong> is available because of the sacrifice Jesus made on our behalf by washing away our past and clearing up our accounts with God. So we come because of Him. We also know that if we are willingly walking in disobedience to the Lord&#8217;s call on our lives to walk in love in every area of our lives, we will have to square things up before we can make this bold entrance. But once we do through simple repentance, by His grace, then we are welcome to present our requests before Him and He will hear us. What mercies are you in need of today? Heed his invitation, walk right in, and ask with thanksgiving in your hearts for all He has done, is doing, and will do for you!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><em>My Father, thank you for this promise in Hebrews 4:16 regarding\u00a0prayer. I am acting on this\u00a0Scripture\u00a0now by coming to you daily with my <strong>bold<\/strong> requests, believing that once I ask in Jesus&#8217; Name, the matter is said and done.
