Charles Spurgeon said, “There is no pleading with God like reminding Him of His Covenant! Get a hold of a promise of God, and you may pray with great boldness, for the Lord will not run back from His own Word—but get a hold of the Covenant and you may plead with the greatest possible confidence!”
Bold prayer stands on the covenant promises of God. Yes, God has sworn with an oath to fulfill every last covenant promise in the Bible. Take God at His word. Stand upon His promises. That's how you pray boldly. "Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need" (Hebrews 4:16).
Bold prayer is based upon the will of God. Bold prayer is sure about the will of God as revealed in the Bible. You will not struggle with doubt, because your faith is standing firm upon the word of God (Romans 10:17). As Spurgeon said, "You may plead with the greatest possible confidence!"
The covenant promises of God are everlasting, because the covenant is everlasting (Hebrews 13:20-21). They are for all of God's children, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. That's the reason Spurgeon could say, "There is no pleading with God like reminding Him of His Covenant!" Boldness in prayer stands on the covenant promises of God.
