Father in Heaven, We come before You, "Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name" (Matthew 6:9). We praise and honor You, for You are worthy of all glory and worship. May Your kingdom come and Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Jesus, You have said, “I am the way and the truth and the life” (John 14:6). We acknowledge that You are the only way to the Father, and we humbly come to You, trusting in Your truth and the life You give. May we follow You faithfully, knowing that apart from You, we can do nothing.
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind” (Matthew 22:37). Lord, help us to love You with everything we are. We surrender our hearts to You, asking for Your Holy Spirit to fill us with a deep, unshakable love for You.
“If you love Me, keep My commands” (John 14:15). We commit ourselves to Your commandments, not out of obligation but because we love You. Teach us to live in obedience to Your word and to walk in Your ways.
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God” (Matthew 5:8). Purify our hearts, O Lord, that we may see You clearly and live in Your presence. Cleanse us from all unrighteousness, and make our hearts pure before You.
“Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:16). Help us to shine with Your light, that in all we do, people may see Your goodness and give glory to You, Father. May our actions reflect Your love and bring others to know You.
“Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you” (John 14:27). We receive Your peace, Lord Jesus. In the midst of a troubled world, we find rest in You. Let Your peace rule in our hearts, and may we share that peace with those around us.
“I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in Me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in Me will never die” (John 11:25-26). Thank You, Jesus, for the hope of eternal life. We trust in Your promise of resurrection, knowing that death is not the end, but a passage into eternal life with You.
“But the one who stands firm to the end will be saved” (Matthew 24:13). Strengthen us to stand firm in our faith, no matter the trials we face. Help us to endure and persevere, trusting that You will be with us until the end.
“With God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26). We trust in Your infinite power, Jesus. We bring our struggles and our desires before You, knowing that with You, there is no limit to what can be done. Strengthen our faith and help us to trust in Your will for our lives.
“Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). We bring our burdens to You, Lord. You are our rest and refuge. We place our worries in Your hands, knowing You will sustain us and give us peace.
“Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing” (Luke 23:34). We ask for Your forgiveness, Lord, for all the ways we have fallen short. We also ask for the strength to forgive others as You have forgiven us.
We pray all these things in Your holy and precious name, Amen.
