For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
Hebrews 4:15-16 (NIV) from Bible Gateway
When we talk about the unlimited power and knowledge of God, it is easy to forget that he has walked a mile in our sandals. When His son Jesus lived on Earth, he was hungry, he felt pain, he was tired--he felt all of the things we feel in our everyday lives. He gets it. When we mess up, we can approach Him not just as the omnipotent Lord of the universe, we can go to Him as someone who has felt our pain and will forgive, not condemns us.
