We now have direct access to God as our good Father

We cannot overstate the significance of the tearing of the Temple's curtain to the Most Holy Place when Jesus was crucified.

The old covenant is now obsolete and has been superceded with a new covenant that is incomparably better:  we now have direct access to God as our good Father.  

Luke 23:45b NIV
And the curtain of the temple was torn in two.

We don't have to go to a certain place to find God.  He is everywhere.

Hebrews 4:14‭, ‬16 NIV
Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. ... Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

God is not angry with us.  His wrath for sin was satisfied by Jesus' sacrifice.  So, we can approach the Father any time. 

And if He is good, why wouldn't we want to spend every moment with Him?

Father, I want to learn to approach you confidently.  I want to know you and be like you.  Jesus, thank you for restoring connection and fellowship with the Father.
