Day 4: Draw Near With Confidence

"Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith." Because of Jesus, you have confidence to enter God's presence. Not timidly, not fearfully, but boldly. The curtain that separated humanity from God's holy presence has been torn open through Christ's flesh. God invites you to come close.

How often do you actually draw near to God? Not just pray quick prayers, but truly sit in His presence, contemplating the reality that the Creator of the universe knows you, loves you, and calls you His own? Today, resist the urge to immediately turn to distractions. Spend extended time with God. Talk to Him. Listen. Rest in His presence. You don't need to earn this access—Jesus has already opened the way. Your Father is waiting for you.

Reflection Questions:

- What barriers do you feel keep you from entering God's presence with confidence?

- How can you create space in your life for extended time with God?

Application Points:

- Set aside a specific time today to be in God's presence without distractions.

- Write a prayer expressing your gratitude for the ability to come boldly into God's presence.
