Prayer based on Mark 1:11. Themes: Identity, Beloved Son, Pleasure.
Heavenly Father, I thank you for the promise that you declared over your Son, Jesus Christ, when a voice came out of the sky saying, “You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” I claim this promise for myself today, knowing that through faith in Jesus, I too am your beloved child. May I always live in a way that pleases you, and may your love and favor be evident in my life. Thank you for your unending grace and mercy. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Verse: A voice came out of the sky, “You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
Mark 1:11
This is a Promise. The voice from the sky is affirming Jesus as God’s beloved Son and expressing God’s pleasure in him. There is no direct command given to the reader in this verse.
