Pray with Confidence
Approaching God boldly.
Praying like you're truly heard.
The big idea
You can come to God boldly — not because of who you are, but whose you are.
What does “Pray with Confidence” walk through?
Throne of Grace
Hebrews 4:16 · KJV
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
In plain English

Come Confidently
God's throne is a throne of grace. Come expecting mercy, not rejection.
Boldness
Acts 4:29 · KJV
And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word.
In plain English
Lord, look at the threats. Give your people the courage to speak your word anyway.
