Intrepid Intercession

Intrepid is not a word used in everyday language. It means “brave,” “courageous,” “bold,” and “resolute.” That describes the kind of intercession God invites us to in Hebrews 4:16, where we are told to draw near to the throne of grace with boldness to receive help in time of need.
