Praying from Philippians 3:8 relating to Sacrifice, Knowledge of Christ, Gain Christ.

Dear Lord Jesus,

I pray that I may have the same mindset as the apostle Paul, who counted all things as loss for the excellency of knowing You. Help me to see that everything else in this world is nothing compared to the joy and fulfillment that comes from knowing You.

May I be willing to suffer the loss of all things for Your sake, and count them as nothing but refuse. I pray that I may gain You, Lord, and that You would be the center of my life.

Thank You for the sacrifice You made on the cross for me, and for the opportunity to know You intimately. I pray that I may continue to grow in my knowledge of You and that You would be glorified in my life.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
