Nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:39

Recommended Reading: Galatians 4:1-7 - Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all, 2 but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father. 3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world. 4 But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.

6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” 7 Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

 
The Resolute desk has been used by many American Presidents in the Oval Office of the White House. It was a gift in 1880 from the United Kingdom and was made from the timbers of the HMS Resolute. The desk is massive, weighing thirteen hundred pounds, and was originally a partners’ desk with open kneeholes on both sides. One of the most iconic pictures of John Kennedy’s presidency shows the President’s small son, John Jr., peaking out of the kneehole while his father, the President, worked at the desk.

The leader of the free world allowed his son to play at his feet, beneath his desk, while he conducted matters of state. As amazing as that is, believers in Christ have an even greater privilege. We are invited into the throne room of God, at any time and with boldness, to present our prayers to our Heavenly Father.

The door to your Heavenly Father’s “office” is open. He welcomes your presence and your prayers—any time, for any reason.

Behold, what wondrous grace the Father hath bestowed on sinners of a mortal race, to call them sons of God! - Isaac Watts
