I love the New Living Translation of Hebrews 10:22:
"Let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting in Him."
After considering how the sacrificial system in place in the Old Testament kept sinful people far away from a holy God, with a once-a-year intercessor, it becomes even more precious to consider the accessibility of God under the New Covenant.
All because of Jesus, our Great High Priest who entered the Most Holy Place by His blood and who lives to intercede for us!
It sort of takes the boring-ritual-feeling out of prayer.
