Prayer
Jesus invited us to approach the Father boldly because He understands our humanity (Hebrews 4:16).
Father, I'm amazed that You didn't remain distant but came near in Jesus. Thank You that my Savior knows what it's like to have a body that gets tired, a heart that feels pain, and emotions that run deep. When I struggle with the limitations and challenges of being human, help me remember that Jesus walked this same path. Give me hope in knowing that He redeemed not just my soul but my whole humanity. In Jesus' name, Amen.
