A Prayer to Honor Jesus

Heavenly Father,

We come before you today to glorify and honor your Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. We praise you for the love and mercy that you have shown us through Him. We are awestruck by His willingness to leave the glory of Heaven to come to earth, living among us and sharing in our joys and sorrows.

We marvel at the wonders He performed, the healings, the miracles, and the lessons of love and forgiveness that He taught. But more than anything, we are forever grateful for the ultimate sacrifice He made on the cross. His blood washed away our sins, and His resurrection gives us the hope of eternal life.

We glorify Jesus, our Messiah, for His teachings that guide our daily lives, for His parables that offer us wisdom, for His kindness that encourages us to love one another. We marvel at the strength of His character, His patience in suffering, and His dedication to Your will.

Jesus, we uplift Your name high above all others. You are the Way, the Truth, and the Life. In your name, we find hope, peace, and salvation. Help us, Lord, to follow in the footsteps of Jesus, to love like Him, to forgive like Him, and to serve like Him.

We ask this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior, the name above all names, to whom we give all the glory, honor, and praise. Amen.
