Prayer

Hebrews 4:14-16; “14 Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the

heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a High Priest

who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without

sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace

to help in time of need.”
