The believer in Christ now has access to what was once the place of exclusion. We must never be shy about coming to this blessed place. We don't ever need to hesitate to tell God exactly what our need is. There are times when it is good for us to remain silent, but our time of need is not one of them. We are instructed to come boldly.
Mercy is one of our primary needs because of our sins and failures.
God's attitude toward those of His children who are in distress is one of mercy, pity, and compassion. In time of need we all appreciate someone who can empathize and sympathize with us. Then let us go to Him with confidence and tell Him all about our need. It is possible that you do not know what your needs are. Mercy is for those failures of the past and grace is for the present hour of need.
