We're so glad you've brought us to John 1:1! That verse is indeed a powerful starting point. Let's look at it in the New International Version (NIV) for a different perspective:
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
This verse tells us that Jesus, the Word, was present with God right from the start. It's like He was there, face to face with God, and He was God Himself. It's a mind-blowing truth that helps us understand the incredible love and power of our God.
Let's pray together, acknowledging Jesus as our Lord and Savior:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come to You today, in the name of Jesus, Your Word made flesh. We thank You for revealing Yourself to us through Him. Help us to grasp the depth of this truth - that Jesus, the Word, was with You and was God. Strengthen our faith and draw us closer to You as we meditate on Your Word.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
If there's a specific situation or need you'd like us to pray for, please share. We're here for you. Remember, it's only through Jesus that we can have access to God. As it's written in Acts 4:12, "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved." If you haven't already, consider believing in Jesus Christ for your salvation.
