JESUS UNDERSTANDS THAT YOU ARE WEAK
There are times when we struggle to pray because we feel tired,
sleepy, sick, weak, and even unworthy. Jesus understands that we are
experiencing all these, and He is ushering us into His throne of grace that we
may obtain mercy, and find grace in our time of need.
Our relationship with God is very different to that of the
old Testament – At mount Sinai, the people trembled at God’s presence and were
afraid of Him (Exodus 19:16). Because of the fear, approaching God directly was
difficult and they had to go to God through a priest or a prophet to make their
request known.
When Jesus came, He changed all of that. He made it possible
to go to Father directly (John 14:6) through our faith in Him.
Through Jesus we become children of God who now have a direct
relationship with God. Jesus also strengthens this relationship by acting as
our High priest and mediator.
