His Arms Are Open Wide

Imagine…you—a smiling, beautiful little girl… 

You are running with reckless abandon into your daddy’s room. There he sits, in his chair, with his arms open wide. As you run to him, he scoops you up onto his lap with his strong and loving hands. You feel the power of his gentle embrace, the rise and fall of his breathing, and hear his heartbeat as you lay your head against his chest. The waves of fear that once consumed your mind are now replaced with an enormous rush of peace, comfort, and hope. You hear his voice declare to you, “Daddy is here, and all will be fine.” It is in that moment that you know what it truly means to be a princess of the King.

If you have never known God the Father as your Heavenly Daddy, you can! Just ask Him. Pray this prayer and you will have access to His room any time you need Him. No matter what the situation or circumstance, the King will always have His arms opened wide for you to crawl into. You can come boldly (confidently, fearlessly) before His throne (chair)…and stay in His loving arms forever.

Heavenly Father, I come to You, a sinner in need of a Savior. I ask You to cleanse me of all my sin—any wrath, rebellion, disobedience, and unbelief. I accept the gift of eternal life Jesus provided for me when He died on the cross. I believe in my heart that You raised Him from the dead. Jesus, please come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior.  I thank You for making me a princess, a daughter of the King. I will live for You, Lord, all the days of my life. You are my Daddy, and I love You!

In Jesus’ name, I pray. 

Amen.
