PRAYING THROUGH THE NAMES OF JESUS
Hey GChurch! We are continuing in our series “Praying Through the Names of Jesus”. This month we will be exploring: Cornerstone, Almighty, Beloved Son, Author of Salvation, and Righteous One. Remember, check your email every Wednesday to pray along with us as we explore “Praying Through the Names of Jesus.” Let’s make GChurch a house of Prayer.
AUTHOR OF SALVATION
Having been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation.
Hebrews 5:9
Adoration
I praise You, Jesus, for being the source—the author—of salvation. I honor You with all that is within me because without salvation, I would be destined to eternal separation from God. In that separation is great pain, agony, regret, remorse, and torture. You, as the author of my salvation, have given me the way to escape hell. I praise and worship You for providing the bridge to heaven through Your very life. Receive my highest honor and glory as I look to You, Jesus, the author of my salvation. All praise is Yours, whether on earth or in the heavens. All worship belongs to You. If we did not worship You, the rocks and grass and trees and flowers would cry out to You, because You deserve the praise and honor of that which You have created.
Confession
Jesus, forgive me for falling short of the glory of God. Forgive me for failing to spread the good news of Your name as the author of our salvation to as many people as I can. Forgive me for forgetting this name and not mentioning it to those who need to hear it and be saved by You. Jesus, forgive all of us in Your body who focus so much on building buildings or creating personal platforms, rather than using our lives to spread the gospel as much as possible. Jesus, remind me that this life isn’t about status or money. It is about spreading the good news of salvation so that souls can be rescued from an eternal destiny spent in hell.
Thanksgiving
Jesus, thank You for saving me. Thank You for authoring my salvation. Thank You for bringing into existence a way by which I can be saved. Thank You for snatching me from the pit of flames and eternal torment. Thank You for showing me what true love is—laying down one’s life for another. Thank You for bearing the sins of all humanity through Your death on the cross. Thank You for paying the price of redemption. Thank You for giving me a reason to hope.
Supplication
Jesus, make my words honoring and pleasing to You as the author of our salvation. Give me courage to share the gospel with others. Reveal to me the steps I am to take which will increase my ability to demonstrate Your love to others and draw them to You for Your saving grace. I want to honor this name of Yours by living a holy life. Help me feel Your pleasure in what I do. Help me identify the purpose You have for me. Give me wisdom and insight as I go about my days in order to make the most of each opportunity so that it is used for Your glory and for sharing the truth about the author of our salvation.
