“JOHN 17:1-5”
These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

Jesus lifting His eyes to heaven and praying not just for glory, but for eternal connection. This echoes the heart of John 17. Jesus praying for Himself wasn’t an act of selfishness, but of surrender. He knew the cross was near, and in that moment of deep anguish, He turned to the Father God, not to escape, but to glorify. Why did Jesus pray for Himself? He longed to return to the glory He shared with the Father before the world began, a restoration of divine intimacy. He was preparing to fulfill His mission, and He asked the Father to glorify Him so that He could glorify the Father in return. His prayer acknowledged the authority He had been given and the eternal life He was about to offer through His sacrifice. Yes, we should pray for ourselves too. Jesus showed us that even in the shadow of suffering, it’s holy to lift our eyes and ask for strength, clarity, and connection. Praying for ourselves isn’t weakness, it’s trust. It’s saying, “I know where my help comes from.”

Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, good morning. Thank you for the air we breathe, and the new life, each and everyday, Hallelujah! Lord Jesus, I pray that others will come to know Jesus at an early age. Show me what to say to others, in a letter, a phone call or even face to face in a conversation. That will encourage them to love you always and trust you with their lives. I thank you, praise, and give you all the honor and glory Jesus. Amen

And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. John 17:3

Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, thank you for awaken me this morning and calling me to yourself and your word. Spending time with you in prayer and in your word is so important to me as I begin my day.

By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty. But none saith, where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night; Job 35:9-10

Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, good morning. Father, thank you for awakening me to this new day. Lord, from before my birth you have been my God, loving me even before I took my first breath. What a breathtaking thought that is! What a comfort to know that my life is securely in your control and that you are always with me, guiding me and directing me. I praise you, thank you, give you all the honor and glory, for creating me in the image of your wonderful self-Lord Jesus! Amen.

Thou hast beset me behind and before and laid thine hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it. Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
Psalms 139:5-7

Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, good morning. I love you Lord Jesus. Father, give me the ability to love others with your love and to treat people the way I want to be treated. Lord Jesus I thank you that you are the Creator. You understand the works of your hands, and you love us all the same. I’ll never fully understand your love, but I thank you for it nonetheless. I pray that you will show me how to make your role as Creator a living reality to those I love. I thank you, praise and give you all the honor and glory Lord Jesus. Amen.

O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether. Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.

Psalms 139:1-6 

Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, good morning. Thank you for this new day. Father, we need rain. Lord Jesus, thank you for your grace, love, strength and faith. Father, thank you for lips that can be a blessing to others. Let my lips praise you and show your love to others in every word I speak and every smile I give away today. I thank you, praise and give you all the glory and honor Jesus. Amen.
