So my question would be, how do you approach the throne of grace with confidence (or to use a word common in other translations, boldness) if you're not feeling particularly confident? I think we all have times when you feel that prayers aren't going anywhere, what do you do in such instances?"Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." Hebrews 4:16, NIV
