Who Am I?

Season of goodness in prayer

He (Jesus) then asked, “And you – what are you saying about me? Who am I?”  Peter gave the answer: “You are the Christ, the Messiah.”  Mark 8:29

Jesus, 

You are Christ, the Messiah –

the promised anointed one who saved the world. 

You are The Light of the World –

able to shine through all darkness.

You are The High Priest who tore the veil –

through you, we have direct and free access to God.

You are The Good Shepherd –

guiding, protecting, and calling us back when we stray.

You are The WayMaker –

moving mountains, healing, bringing beauty from the ashes. 

Lord, continue to show me who you are, and I will gladly tell others all about you. 

Amen

Praiseworthy

Season of goodness in prayer

Thank you God for your faithfulness, my strength and my salvation. I praise your holy name. Let me glorify you with my life. Amen
