Before the Throne

Where do you go when life overwhelms you? Before the Throne.

God's people know they can turn to Him when times get tough. Instead of trying to fix things on our own, we can enter God's throne room in prayer. The access granted to us by Jesus our High Priest is our comfort when the world is turned upside down.

In Before the Throne, Crickett Keeth, author of On Bended Knee, offers a follow-up study of eight prayer warriors from Scripture who turned to God when times became difficult. You'll learn to pray with:

  • Moses in times of disappointment
  • The Psalmists in times of need
  • Jonah in times of disobedience
  • Hezekiah in times of battle
  • Habakkuk in times of questioning
  • Jesus in a time of intercession
  • Paul in times of hardship
  • Revelation saints in times of worship

Crickett's studies are known for taking you deep—then even deeper!—into God's Word. As you study these prayers, you'll be strengthened as you see how these godly Bible characters poured out their hearts to God and how He responded to them. You'll learn how to pray with the same power when you feel weak, helpless, stressed, or afraid. As you turn your focus toward God's character through prayer, He will supply the strength you need to face whatever is before you. Because that's the privilege you have when you come Before the Throne.

"Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." Hebrews 4:16
