The throne of grace is to be approached with:
~ Deepest Sincerity ~
“If prayer is coming before the throne of God, it should always be conducted with the deepest sincerity and in the spirit that makes everything real. If you are disloyal enough to despise the King, for your own sake, do not mock Him to His face and when He is upon His throne…if a person should ask for an audience with royalty and then should say, ‘I don’t know why I have come or that I have anything particular to ask,’ would he not be guilty of folly? As for our great King, when we venture into His presence, let us have a purpose there. Let us beware of playing at praying; it is insolence toward God.”
-Charles Spurgeon, “The Power of Prayer in a Believer’s Life”
