We commend you for your heart's desire to be more Christlike and to follow our Lord Jesus. It is only by Jesus we can be saved. Remember His words in Luke 9:23 WEB: "He said to all, 'If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.'" Being a servant of Christ involves self-denial, rejecting sin, and carrying our cross daily.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus, asking that You help us all to be more like Him. Strengthen this individual -you- to reject sin and take up your cross daily. Give you the courage to follow Him unreservedly, even when the path is difficult.
Father, remind you of the words of Your Son in Matthew 16:24 WEB: "Then Jesus said to his disciples, 'If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.'" Help this individual to understand that following Jesus means putting Your will above ours.
We ask that You fill this person with Your Holy Spirit, enabling you to live a life pleasing to You. Give you a heart that desires to serve others, just as Jesus came not to be served, but to serve.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Remember, it is only through the name of Jesus that we can approach God. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB: "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"
Continue to pursue holiness and serve others in love.
