Access To the Throne

This is an article I wrote recently. My journey as a God Girl has taught me how important and powerful prayer can be. Hope this blesses you!

As I sit at my desk lately, I often find myself called to the throne of God. As I mature as a Christian, I find myself speaking to God many times during the day. I may ask for strength. Sometimes I ask for blessings for someone in need who comes to mind. Many times I just feel the need to tell Him thank you, as the many blessings I have received come to the forefront of my mind. It is wonderful to know that God is always near and that he hears me. 

However, lately I have experienced a stronger tug at my heart. An urgency to be on my knees before the throne of God, not just speaking to Him, but beseeching him to fulfill some need, or provide some protection, or just to bless someone who is not ready or able to bow down before Him. When this happens, I am drawn into a quiet, dark corner inside myself. With closed eyes and an open heart, no matter where I am, I go to Him. All things on the outside fade away and all that is left is my soul and My Father. I lay my request at His feet, offer up my thanks and bask in the peace His presence provides. There surrounded by the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, joy is found. All stress is gone and life becomes easy. When my time in the inner circle is over, I return to my daily life feeling so full. I am well rested and have not a worry in the world. I come away knowing that all my issues have been addressed. Doubts have been removed, problems have been worked out, lives have been touched by His hand. All that is left is Peace and Assurance. And all it takes is a moment or two at the throne.

For all of you who are just starting on the road to Christ, I know it can be hard. It can be scary to turn away from the sinful life you have always known, where you did what you thought you wanted and felt as if you were in control. But believe me, it is well worth it. Matthew 10:39, “Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.” (NIV)As you grow and mature in Christ, the rewards of this life become more and more clear. 2 Peter 1:3, “His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness.” (NIV) There is nothing like the peace you get, when you know your life is in His all powerful hands. As your faith grows, so does your joy. Keep drawing near to God. Seek Him with your whole heart. Immerse yourself in His Holy Word. In return you will receive the greatest gift ever. You will receive Access to The Throne.
