#ENFAST2020: INVITING GRACE
Day 2: INVITING GRACE
Children express their needs without limit and seek out their parents without hesitation. How often do you approach God with childlike faith?
There were many times that I approach God with less faith, that my view of God is very limited. I like doing things on my own, fearing that God might offer pain along the way to His promise and I'm very afraid.
What are some beliefs you may struggle with that can keep you from accepting Christ’s invitation? Write down the truthful, biblical responses to some of those thoughts.
Sometimes, I'm afraid to pray and draw near to God. Because I, myself, is tired of being myself doing the same thing all over again. Sinning left and right, being unholy and not reading His word and all of that. It makes me feel that He puts a barrier between us whenever I sin.
But our text contains an invitation of drawing near to God's throne of grace with confidence. He didn't die on the cross, just for us to be condemned every time we sin. Jesus' death opened the veil. Removing the barrier between God and man.
What an amazing God.
What are some practical ways that you can draw near to God?
Treating God as our best friend. Someone who we can tell everything looking beyond our sin because of His love.
Pray every time. Even if we're struggling. Even if we're sinning. Talk to Him without bowing our heads and closing our eyes, talk to Him without looking up.
Talk to Him like he's beside us.
