Prayer based on Luke 13:23. Themes: Salvation, Fewness, Judgment

Dear Lord,

As I come before you today, I am reminded of the verse where one asked you if only a few will be saved. Your response was one that gave hope and assurance to all who believe in you.

Lord, I claim the promise that you have given us, that whoever believes in you will not perish but have eternal life. I know that salvation is not based on the number of people who are saved, but on the faith and trust we have in you.

I pray that you will help me to always keep my eyes fixed on you, to trust in your promises, and to live a life that is pleasing to you. May I never lose sight of the hope that I have in you, and may I always be ready to share that hope with others.

Thank you for your love and grace, and for the promise of eternal life that you have given us. May I always live in the light of that promise, and may it be a source of strength and comfort to me always.

In Jesus’ name, I pray.

Amen.

Verse: One said to him, “Lord, are they few who are saved?” He said to them,
Luke 13:23

This is a Promise.

The promise is not explicitly stated in the verse, but it implies that there will be those who are saved.
