Relationship with God

Author: Elton Streyle, Contributor: Noah, Photography and Editing: Ali

Loving Heavenly Father, I come in the Name of Jesus to give You praise and thanks for the strong, loving relationship You have offered me. In Your Word (the Bible), You describe Your relationship with me in marital terms. But as intimate as the marriage relationship is, it does not compare to my relationship with You, my Heavenly Father. What a privilege it is to be truly and deeply loved by You and called, through the Church, the bride of Christ. Isaiah 54:5 “For your Maker is your husband, the LORD of hosts is His name; and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel; He is called the God of the whole earth.”

What an amazing gift it is to be able to have a complete sense of belonging to You. Thank you for expressing in Your Word that You consider me a friend. Through this relationship, You reveal the plans, desires, and commitments You have for me. What a blessing it is that You enjoy spending time with me after salvation.

Revelation 3:20 “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.” It is encouraging that You want to go much deeper than just sharing a meal. Your plan is for me to allow You to transform my life. Since I am a child of Yours (a born-again believer) I ask You to shape me into the perfect bride for You. I know that the only way this can be done is to be washed in the perfect blood of Jesus Christ. I ask for the forgiveness and righteousness that can be mine through Jesus Christ so that I can be made spotless in Your sight, ready to be received into Heaven as Your perfect bride.

In Jesus, Name, Amen.

P.S. These prayers will only work if you have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. If you need help understanding God’s plan of salvation for you (the way to Heaven), go to this page on our site: https://timewithourcreator.com/2016/06/02/salvation/

All knowing and unchanging Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ Name, thank you for the great comfort it is that I can trust in Your faithfulness. It is a blessing that what You told the people in Deuteronomy 7:9 is still true for me today. “Therefore, know that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments.”

Forgive me for the times when I am facing a temptation or a crisis in my life and I have the tendency to be self-reliant instead of fully trusting in Your faithfulness. In those times, remind me of the saying, “God has been with you all these years, why would He forsake you now?” Thank you for the promise in Your Word, the Bible, that if I ask, You will always be there to help in all life situations. Lamentations 3:22-23 “Through the LORD’S mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.”

It is a blessing as I think about my children, grandchildren, and younger friends’ futures that Your faithfulness can be traced from generation to generation throughout the Bible from the beginning of time. You have not changed and neither has Your word. You have been faithful to the earth that You created. One generation of people pass after another, but Your creation has stayed the same. Psalm 119:90 “Your faithfulness endures to all generations; You established the earth, and it abides.” Direct me to have complete confidence in You and Your Word so I can experience Your peace and joy. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
