Jesus was tempted, just as we are. He understands everything we are feeling and fighting. Temptation never goes away; it's always there. This daily battle can leave us feeling disappointed and discouraged when we come to God in prayer.

However, Jesus extends His grace to us and invites us to bring our struggles and failures to Him. In God's eyes, we are righteous before Him. So, we can come before the Lord without fear, regret, or feeling inadequate. Not because of anything we have done, but because of what Jesus did on the cross for us.

There is no need to feel shame because when we come before the Lord, that is where we receive His mercy.

In Hebrews 4:16, the writer refers to finding grace "in time of need." Our times of need can be the moments of temptation that we face, as well as include seasons of life when we feel powerless and helpless, like the world is crumbling around us.

It is during these times that we can kneel before the throne of God and wait for Him to renew our strength and fill us with His power. God's mercy and grace are available to us at any moment of every day when we cry out to Him. Draw near to God regardless of your past, your fears, your regrets, or your worries. He's waiting for you today.

Afternoon Prayer

Lord, thank you for the opportunity to come before your throne in prayer. Help me to bring all my needs, worries, and cares to you. I also desire to worship you in spirit and in truth because you are worthy of all of my praise. In Jesus' name, amen.

Yesterday Afternoon's Bible study

Sometimes it may seem that the things we're doing are small and inconsequential, but our efforts are not in vain. If we only rely on our own strengths and abilities, we will invariably fail. God determines how what we do for Him will affect others.

God looks at our hearts and is more concerned about our relationship with Him than anything we could accomplish. We should aim for the goal of being faithful to what God has called us to do.

Yesterday Afternoon's Prayer

Lord, I need your help to be steadfast. Often, I depend on my own strengths and abilities, but my personal desires and motivations easily sway me. I know that as I serve you, my efforts aren't in vain. I am a carrier of your living hope to those around me. Thank you for helping me stay in my faith in you. In Jesus' name, amen.
