Do you display boldness when you come before the throne of God?
God stands between us and our need, waiting to help us. It is for this reason, the Bible says, "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." Hebrews 4:16 NLT
This verse does not tell us, He will help us only in certain circumstances. It doesn't matter what we are going through, we will find grace to help us when we need it. We may have problems at work, home, marriage, or with our children. God's grace covers us, we just have to be willing to accept it, and it has to be His way, not our own. During our hard times, our faith tends to dwindle. The antidote for this is the living Word of God. It has the power to penetrate the deepest denial. God knows everything about us, even the things we try to hide from ourselves. We can count on Him to expose the problems and needs we face in this recovery program.

Fellowship and celebrate God's healing power in our lives. This experience allows us to be changed. We open the door by sharing our experiences, strengths, and hopes with one another. In addition we become willing to accept God's grace in solving our life problems. By working this Christ-centered program, we begin to grow spiritually. We become free from our dysfunctional, compulsive, and addictive behaviors.

No matter what are problems are and we think they should be doen with RIGHT NOW. We need to keep in mind God will never put us through anything we can not handle. We are all on Gods time not our own. Do I display the boldness I need to NO... am i working on that yes.
For some of us boldness is a very foreign idea. If we are shy or reserved by nature, boldness is not something that comes easily. Knowing I can approach God with boldness, that He wants me to, was hard to accept before I began to learn just who I am to God. I thank God He lets me learn how to be bold with Him first before I try to be bold in my everyday life. Because He is not going to yell at me or reprimand me or anything that will hurt me, I can learn boldness in a positive way. And instead of being obnoxious or aggressive, I can act with a boldness tempered with God's love when circumstances call for it.
