Accessing God

Good morning Ekklesia Family

Daily Devotion: Accessing God

Scripture: Philippians 4:6–7 (NLT)

[6] Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. [7] Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

Paul speaks directly to the heart of the believer: Don’t worry. Pray. Anxiety is real, but so is access. In Christ, we have unrestricted, 24/7, direct access to the God of all peace. We don’t approach Him as strangers, but as beloved children. The word “guard” in Greek is a military term—meaning God stands watch over our hearts and minds like a divine soldier.

Every time we choose prayer over panic, gratitude over grumbling, and faith over fear—we activate divine access. We don’t have to strive to be heard. We are already invited. The door to God’s presence never closes. The world may throw storms, but the peace of God acts like a holy umbrella—covering, calming, and protecting.

• Start your day with prayer, even if it’s just five minutes of focused gratitude.

• Keep a “God Access” journal to write what you’re thankful for and what you’re praying for.

• When anxiety creeps in, turn that moment into a micro-prayer. Example: “Lord, I choose Your peace right now.”

  
  

Dear Father, thank You for the access I have to You. I will not be anxious, because I am not alone. I will not be overcome, because I am overcomer through Christ. Guard my heart and my mind today with Your peace that passes all understanding. I surrender my worry and embrace Your Word. In Jesus' name, amen.

If you’ve never accepted this kind of access to God through Jesus Christ, now is the time. Say yes to the Savior who hears, sees, and responds.
