Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. (Hebrews 4:16)
I, being a very visual learner find when I develop a prayer spot in my home that is quiet and peaceful scriptures begin to unfold in my mind and heart.
A friend recently gave me this “angel of grace”. I just fell in love with her visual as she prompted the scripture from Hebrews to ring into my being. There are so many needs for friends and families and I didn’t have words to find boldness to approach God’s throne. This visual helped me to see myself.
I began to understand it’s before The Throne of Grace I will find the answers. The thought came to me, “unforced rhythms of grace” comes out of the “abundance” of God’s provisions. It’s from the divine mercy and grace of God that He sends our answers.
Prayer has so many visuals, sounds, words, thoughts, languages, people, and the sounds of many music genres.
Would love to hear how you approach prayer. What it means to you? Your answered prayers! Your prayer request!
I would like to ask for prayers for families and guidance for homes, schools, churches, friends and activities that helps to bring health, joy and peace to our communities.

That is a beautiful photo of the “Angel of Grace” and the fire glow, Sara. I think your words go right along with the photo…beautiful, inspirational and encouraging.
“Would love to hear how you approach prayer. What it means to you? Your answered prayers! Your prayer request! Would love to hear how you approach prayer. What it means to you? Your answered prayers! Your prayer request!”
I write out prayers for others each am in a spiral notebook. This format helps me stay focused on others and their needs. If a prayer is answered, I write out thanks. I often ask for the same thing each day for another’s ongoing need; but one of the scriptures that helps me think this is ok is Luke 18: 1-8. The widow here kept asking. ”Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.” Sometimes, a scripture that pertains to their need comes to mind to write for them. I find the Lord’s prayer is helpful also as He knows the needs.
“I would like to ask for prayers for families and guidance for homes, schools, churches, friends and activities that helps to bring health, joy and peace to our communities.” This request is so helpful because you formulate a prayer, Sara, that I can then agree and join in with to pray for these needs.
“Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. (Hebrews 4:16)”, thanks for sharing this reminder and encouragement of just how much God loves us and is right there to hear us. When I pray, I just talk to God, and sometimes I may sit quietly.
The angel in the picture above looks like she may be giving God praise! It is a beautiful “prayer spot”you have arranged in your home, Sara. What a beautiful gift your friend gave you. 🙏
Tammy, I’m always encouraged to hear how others pray. Such a beautiful gift we have been given. To walk with confidence in the presence of the living God, creator of all things and know He waits for us. Enjoys us! And, a problem solver.
As I was reading both your and Debi’s sharing, a beloved scripture comes to mind for the three of us. “Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.”
Psalms 27:14 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/psa.27.14.NLT
“I love the Lord because he hears my voice
and my prayer for mercy.
Because he bends down to listen,
I will pray as long as I have breath!”
—Psalm 116:1-2 (NLT)
Sometimes I need to refresh my understanding of just whom I’m in relationship with when I’m praying. Awee! It only takes a few moments to find just who he is. Try to imagine with me as we agree in prayer needs for family, friends and community.
“He bends down to listen” Such love! Maybe we need to hold that love in our hearts on Valentines Day!
“He bends down to listen” Such love! Maybe we need to hold that love in our hearts on Valentines Day!“. “He bends down to listen”…… the Creator of the universe and all that is in it, bends down to listen to me?!? Yes, Sara, that is the “love we need to hold in our hearts at Valentine’s “and everyday! ✝️❤️💜❤️
Happy Valentine’s Day, Tammy!
“Try to imagine with me as we agree in prayer needs for family, friends and community.
“He bends down to listen” Such love! “
I will try to imagine, Sara. That really is an encouraging Psalm and example of His love! I “agree in prayer needs for family, friends and community.”
Thank you Sara, and Happy Valentine’s Day to you🥰❤️ (Hope you had lots of chocolates to eat ☺️)
