The pilgrim journey · Prayer and drawing near
Looking to the Saviour who died for us, this prayer hymn joins forgiveness, strength for life, guidance on the journey and our final entrusting of ourselves into a single cry. Because Jesus our High Priest sympathises with us, Hebrews invites believers to come confidently before the throne of grace, and urges us to fix our eyes on him as we run with endurance. Our secure faith therefore has a definite object: the Lord who has already borne sin and still keeps us. As we sing, we can make our weaknesses known to him one by one, asking him to make our love firmer and preserve our hope in sorrow. When accompanying someone who is ill or facing a parting, this looking to him can also help people entrust themselves quietly to the Lord.
