The '''throne of grace''' is the throne of [[God]] and is found in [http://scriptures.lds.org/en/heb/4/16#16 Hebrews 14:6]. Consider this address that was given following President [[Harold B. Lee|Harold B. Lee's]] call to the [[Quorum of the Twelve Apostles|Council of the Twelve]]:
<blockquote>
Since nine o'clock last night I have lived an entire lifetime in retrospect and in prospect. I spent a sleepless night. I never closed my eyes one moment, and neither would you if you had been in my place. Throughout the night, as I thought of this most appalling and soul-stirring assignment, there kept coming to me the words of the Apostle Paul, which he spoke in explanation of the human qualities that were to be found in the Lord and [[Savior]]:

For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without [[sin]].

Let us therefore come boldly unto the '''throne of grace''', that we may obtain [[mercy]], and find [[grace]] to help in time of need. (Heb. 4:15-16.)

One could not have listened to the soul-stirring testimony of President [[Heber J. Grant]], in bearing testimony as to his feelings when he was called to the apostleship, or his experiences in calling others to similar positions, without realizing that he has been close to his [[Heavenly Father]] in this experience. Therefore I shall take the word of the Apostle Paul. I shall come boldly unto the '''throne of grace''', and ask for mercy and His grace to help me in my time of need. With that help I cannot fail. Without it I cannot succeed. (Emphasis added)

And more recently:

<blockquote>
This morning I bear witness of the importance of [[prayer]]. Access to our [[Heavenly Father|Creator]] through our [[Savior]] is surely one of the great privileges and blessings of our lives. I have learned from countless personal experiences that great is the power of [[prayer]]. No earthly authority can separate us from direct access to our Creator. There can never be a mechanical or electronic failure when we [[prayer|pray]]. There is no limit on the number of times or how long we can [[prayer|pray]] each day. There is no quota of how many needs we wish to [[prayer|pray]] for in each [[prayer]]. We do not need to go through secretaries or make an appointment to reach the '''throne of grace'''. [[Heavenly Father|He]] is reachable at any time and any place. (President [[James E. Faust]], ''The Lifeline of Prayer'', May 2002. Emphasis added.)</blockquote>
