Heavenly Father, I come before You with a heart full of acknowledgment for the gift of Your Son, Jesus. Thank You for the opportunity to know Him and to cultivate a relationship that transforms my life.

May I seek Him daily, turning to His Word for wisdom and guidance.
Lord, I pray that through the challenges of life, I can find solace in knowing You. When anxiety and fear threaten to overwhelm me, remind me of the peace that surpasses all understanding, which comes through knowing Jesus. Help me to trust in His promises and to lean on Him for strength and assurance. I also pray for those who have not yet met Jesus, that their hearts may be opened and their eyes may be directed toward Your everlasting love.
Father, I understand the urgency in the message that prepares us for eternity. I ask for the courage to share this truth with others, to be a vessel of Your love and light in a world often filled with darkness. Let my life reflect the hope I find in Christ, guiding others to seek Him before it is too late. May my actions, words, and thoughts align with Your will, so that I may draw closer to You and encourage others on their journey.
With every breath, I strive to be more like Jesus. I know that this requires surrendering my will for Yours and embracing the path You have laid before me. As I navigate the complexities of life, grant me the wisdom to hear Your voice and the strength to follow Your lead. Thank You for the unshakeable truth that knowing Jesus is the key to eternal life. I pray this in His mighty name, Amen.
