Prayer based on Mark 8:29. Themes: Messiah, Identity, Confession

Dear Lord, just as you asked your disciples who they believed you to be, I too ask for the grace to know you more deeply. Help me to recognize you as the Christ, the Son of the living God, and to follow you with all my heart. May my faith in you be unwavering, and may I always seek to know you more intimately. Thank you for your love and mercy, and for the gift of salvation that you have given us through your sacrifice on the cross. Amen.

Verse: He said to them,“But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Christ.”
Mark 8:29

This is a Command. The verse commands the reader to answer the question “who do you say that I am?” posed by Jesus.
