Praying from Matthew 3:17 relating to Sonship, Pleasure, Voice of God.
Heavenly Father, I thank you for the promise that you have given us in your word. I claim the promise that you declared when you said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.” I pray that you would help me to live a life that is pleasing to you, just as Jesus did. May I always seek to follow in his footsteps and to do your will. Thank you for your love and grace, and for the gift of your Son. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
