Pray Boldly | Hebrews 4:16

How can we pray with confidence? In this Daily Hope devotional, Pastor John S. Dickerson reflects on Hebrews 4:16 and the incredible invitation to "come boldly to the throne of grace." Because of Jesus Christ, we don't have to approach God with fear or uncertainty. We can confidently ask for His mercy, His grace, and His help in our greatest times of need. That same confidence fuels our prayers for personal renewal, our families, our churches, and the next Great Awakening. God invites His people to pray boldly—not because of our own righteousness, but because Christ has opened the way into His presence. As we seek revival, may we approach Him with faith, expectancy, and confidence in His promises. Text “DAILY” to 71093 to receive Daily Hope videos sent to your phone every day.

What Real Revival Looks Like

What does real revival look like? In this Daily Hope devotional, Pastor John S. Dickerson shares a powerful story from the life of John Quincy Adams—a leader whose deep love for God's Word overflowed into joyful worship. Adams once described hearing a congregation sing words he had adapted from the Psalms as one of the greatest moments of his life. His story reminds us that true revival isn't simply about changing behavior or learning more information—it's about loving God so deeply that worship becomes the natural overflow of our hearts. As we pray for the next Great Awakening, may God ignite in us a greater love for His Word, a deeper delight in His presence, and a life that points others to Him through authentic worship.

Pray for What Seems Impossible

Can God still do the impossible? In this Daily Hope devotional, Pastor John S. Dickerson reflects on Psalm 65:5 and the powerful promise that God "faithfully answers our prayers with awesome deeds." The greatest works of God have always been beyond human ability. Revival, transformed hearts, restored families, and changed communities all begin with believers who trust God enough to pray for what only He can accomplish. If you've been praying for something that feels impossible, don't lose heart. Our God is still the One who answers prayer with awesome deeds, and He remains the hope of every nation.
