b'Once there was a King whose wisdom and favor toward his subjects was\\nrenowned. From the highest mountain peak to the smallest village in the\\nvalley, the King\\u2019s care for His people and His justice in every area was\\npraised. Day after day, the King\\u2019s people would approach His throne. The\\nKing had proven to be there in times of need, so they continued to ask for\\nHis help:\\n.\\n\\u201cOh Generous Ruler, my family and I have no food\\u2014could you spare some\\nbread?\\u201d \\u201cMy son, everything I have is yours. I will direct my stewards, and\\nthey will supply as much bread as your family needs. Just as you would not\\ngive your children a stone when they request a crust of bread, so will I\\nfill you with good things when you ask.\\u201d (Matthew 7:7-11)\\n.\\n\\u201cJust King, there is someone who has been hounding me day and night. My\\neyes can find no rest for fear that he will hurt me once again.\\u201d \\u201cDaughter,\\nI will see that you get justice. Stay close to me, away from harm\\u2019s reach.\\nI will provide trustworthy friends who will share your burdens, and I will\\nheal your deep hurts.\\u201d (Luke 18:1-8)\\n.\\n\\u201cCompassionate Ruler, my heart has been aching since the death of my loved\\none. My eyes leak tears day after day, and I feel like I just can\\u2019t go on.\\u201d\\n\\u201cCome to me, I will be your comfort. I will weep with you and share in your\\nsuffering.\\u201d (2 Corinthians 1:1-11)\\n.\\n\\u201cMerciful King, I have long struggled with my tendencies toward weakness in\\nthe area we discussed weeks ago. You offered to help, and I now accept.\\nWalk with me as I try, in your strength, to do better?\\u201d \\u201cDear child, I will\\nalways be here to help you in your time of need. And you can always rely on\\nmy sure forgiveness.\\u201d (Hebrews 4:14-5:10)\\n.\\n\\u201cPowerful King, there is a thorn in my flesh. Three times I have pleaded\\nwith you to take away this torment. Will you finally do it?\\u201d \\u201cBeloved one,\\nmy grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.\\nMy power will rest on you, so that even when you are weak, you will be\\nstrong. And when my kingdom covers the whole earth, your thorn will be no\\nmore.\\u201d (2 Corinthians 12:7-10; Revelation 21:4) \\u2022 Savannah Coleman\\n.\\n\\u2022 As Christians, we have been given citizenship in Jesus\\u2019s kingdom because\\nHe has rescued and forgiven us through His death and resurrection\\n(Colossians 1:9-14). We can come to Him any time, pouring out our hearts\\nand our requests. How can knowing that Jesus is generous, just,\\ncompassionate, etc. make it easier for us to talk to Him?\\n.\\nLet us then approach God\\u2019s throne of grace with confidence\\u2026 Hebrews 4:16a\\n(NIV)\\n\\xa0\\nRead Verses:\\nPhil.4.4-Phil.4.13|Heb.4.14-Heb.4.16|2Cor.9.8'
