Prayer based on Mark 1:7. Themes: Humility, Salvation, Messiah
Dear Lord, I thank you for the promise that after John the Baptist comes he who is mightier than him. I claim this promise and believe that you are the one who is mightier than anyone else. I humbly confess that I am not worthy to even stoop down and loosen the thong of your sandals. But I trust in your grace and mercy, and I pray that you will guide me and lead me in the path of righteousness. Help me to follow you with all my heart, and to live a life that is pleasing to you. Thank you for your love and faithfulness, and for the promise of eternal life through your son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
