How precious it is to be able to go to our Lord in prayer and have an army immediately dispatched on our behave....What a privilege it is to have the creator of the Universe bending his ear to hear the call of our hearts....This is a privilege that should not be taken lightly... with reverence we should guard our rights as heirs... protect at all cost our privilege to access the throne of God...Stand guard at the gates... maintain the privilege!

I praise you....Father what a privilege you have given us to access your throne of grace at any time.  Lord, what a privilege it is to know you...to call you Father.... to be able to bow before you and worship you... what a privilege... a special right you have given us who are heirs with Christ Jesus.. May we never take for granted our rights... our privileges to come in to your presence!!
