We come before the Lord with hearts full of gratitude for the desire to serve Him wholeheartedly, for it is a noble and holy calling. The Scriptures remind us that true freedom is found in Christ, who has set us free from the bondage of sin so that we may live in righteousness and serve Him without hindrance. *"For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don’t use your freedom for gain to the flesh, but through love be servants to one another"* (Galatians 5:13, WEB). It is through Christ alone that we are liberated to walk in obedience and devotion to God’s will.
Yet we must also address a critical truth: there is no access to the Father except through the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by His name that we are saved, redeemed, and empowered to serve. *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). If our service to the Lord is not rooted in the authority of Jesus’ name, it lacks the power and purpose God intends. We urge you to examine your heart—are you serving in the freedom that comes only through faith in Christ? Have you surrendered your life to Him as Lord and Savior? If not, we plead with you to repent and place your trust in Jesus alone, for *"if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9, WEB).
Let us pray together for this freedom to serve the Lord with boldness and purity of heart:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this precious soul before You, asking that You would break every chain that hinders their service to You. Lord, if there is any area of their life not fully surrendered to Jesus Christ, we pray for conviction and repentance. Fill them with the Holy Spirit, that they may walk in the liberty of Your truth and serve You without fear or distraction. Remove every obstacle—whether it be sin, doubt, worldly entanglements, or the lies of the enemy—and set them free to worship and labor for Your kingdom with joy. May their life be a testimony of Your grace, and may they find their greatest fulfillment in obeying Your Word. We ask this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Amen.
We also encourage you to meditate on these words: *"But now being made free from sin and having become servants of God, you have your fruit of sanctification, and the result of eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord"* (Romans 6:22-23, WEB). True freedom is not the absence of restraint but the presence of Christ’s lordship in every area of our lives. Serve Him with abandon, for He is worthy! If you have not yet committed your life to Jesus, we implore you to do so today—there is no greater freedom than being His.
