COME OBTAIN HELP
"Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need."
— HEBREWS 4:16
The ultimate price for our redemption has already been paid by Jesus Christ. His sacrifice on the cross settled every debt of sin and opened the door to grace, mercy, and divine assistance. There is no further price to be paid, no additional sacrifice required. All that remains is for us to take responsibility, respond to His call, and come to Him who is our loving Father to receive the help we need to live meaningful and impactful lives.
To obtain means to receive, but no one receives anything passively. Every promise of God requires an active response. The abundant grace, strength, wisdom, and favor necessary for a victorious and fulfilling life this year and beyond are already made available at the throne of grace. However, it is our responsibility to come forward in faith and receive what has been provided.
That is why Jesus extended a powerful invitation in Matthew 11:28: "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
True rest—peace of mind, freedom from fear, and the power to overcome life’s burdens can only be found in Jesus. But to receive this rest, we must take action: we must come to Him. And not just come timidly or hesitantly, but with the confidence and boldness of children approaching a loving Father. We are not beggars in God's presence; we are His sons and daughters. Therefore, we must come assured that we will receive grace to conquer every challenge that lies ahead.
Again, in John 6:37, Jesus declared: "All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out." This statement is deeply reassuring. There is room for everyone in Christ. No matter your past, the invitation remains open. However, the promise is only for those who come. God does not reject or cast out those who sincerely seek Him. Instead, He embraces, restores, and empowers them with divine help.

Prayer
Heavenly father, thank You for Your readiness to help me. I declare that, from today, the mercy and grace of God will speak for me. This year, the help of God that amplifies the results of men will be evident in my life. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
