Lord Jesus, king of all kings and high priest of the living God, grant us faith in your compassion and empathy for our weaknesses, that we would not fail to approach your throne for mercy when we are in need, through you who loved us to the end and now rules in that same love with the Father and Holy Spirit in endless glory. Amen.
‘For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who in every respect has been tested as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.’ – Hebrews 4:15-16
