The Throne of Grace

What if you truly believed God’s throne is no longer a place of judgment for you—but a place of help? In today’s episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef unpacks the invitation of Hebrews 4:16: “Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence…” Through Jesus Christ, the door is open for every believer to come boldly to God—not to be shamed, but to receive mercy and find grace exactly when you need it most. Dr. Youssef reminds us why this confidence is possible: Jesus is our Great High Priest—He understands us, sympathizes with our weakness, and was tempted in every way without sin (Hebrews 4:15). He is not waiting to condemn you; He is waiting to strengthen you—day after day—so you can overcome temptation, endure hardship, and walk in righteousness. As you come to the throne by the blood of Christ, trusting Him for salvation and ongoing transformation, you are equipped to face whatever comes. The Holy Spirit indwells you and empowers you to say no to sin and yes to obedience—because grace isn’t merely pardon; it’s power. Prayer: Great High Priest, thank You for allowing me to approach the throne of grace with confidence. May I never take such a gift for granted but humbly come before You daily with my praises and petitions. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence” (Ephesians 3:12). Learn more in Dr. Michael A.
