Praying from Matthew 3:11 relating to Repentance, Baptism, Holy Spirit.
Dear Lord, I come before you today with a repentant heart, seeking your forgiveness and mercy. I thank you for the gift of baptism in water, which symbolizes my commitment to turn away from sin and follow you. But I also claim the promise that you have given us through John the Baptist, that the one who comes after him is mightier than he, and will baptize us in the Holy Spirit.
Lord, I ask that you pour out your Holy Spirit upon me, filling me with your power, your love, and your wisdom. I pray that you would guide me in all that I do, and help me to live a life that is pleasing to you. I know that I am not worthy to carry the sandals of your Son, but I trust in your grace and your mercy, and I believe that you will fulfill your promise to me.
Thank you, Lord, for your love and your faithfulness. I pray that you would continue to work in my life, transforming me into the person that you have called me to be. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
