The Open Throne

from Devotions with Pastor Stanton · host Stanton Petersen

What keeps you from praying when you need it most? So often, it’s barriers we feel inside. The barrier of guilt over our sin or our failures. The barrier of shame over our weakness. The barrier of feeling like we’re just "not handling this right." These feelings stand like guards at a gate, telling us, "You can't go in. You're not worthy. God doesn't want to hear from you right now." But what if there was someone who could take you by the hand and walk you right past those guards, straight into the throne room?
