What does this assurance do for me as I confront everyday problems?

Ephesians 3:12Because of Christ and our faith in him, we can now come boldly and confidently into God’s presence.

Hebrews 4:14-16So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe. This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.

The assurance of God’s love gives us courage to come to him with any problem, struggle, or concern. Our prayers are never interruptions to God. When we knock, the door is always open to us.
