Sitting with this verse
The reason for this confidence comes in the verse just before: Jesus, the great high priest, was tested in every way, yet without sin, and can feel the weakness of those who come to him. So the throne becomes a place of grace rather than dread. Mercy meets what has gone wrong; grace brings timely help for what lies ahead. Come as you are, and ask for what this hour needs.

From Hebrews 4
Be still for a moment: a Sabbath rest still remains for God's people, and a throne of grace you may approach boldly. What help do you need to ask for?
