Jesus said, “You have now seen him; in fact, he is the one speaking with you. Then the man said, “Lord, I believe,” and he worshiped him.
John 9:37-38
Abba Father, Merciful and EverLoving, we come before You with hearts full of thankfulness, as we are reminded of the power of recognition, the grace of revelation, and the faith that transforms, when Jesus reveals himself to us. Like the man who was healed, we once walked in darkness, unable to see the truth of Your presence. Yet, in Your mercy, You opened our eyes, revealing the light of Christ. Help us, Lord, to never take this gift for granted. May our eyes always remain fixed on You, the author and perfecter of our faith.
Lord Jesus, we echo the words of the man who said, “Lord, I believe.” Strengthen our belief when doubt creeps in and deepen our trust when we face trials. Teach us to worship You with all that we are, just as the healed man did, bowing in humility and surrender. Let our worship be more than words; may it be the very essence of our lives, reflecting Your binding love and grace.
Father, help us to see You in the everyday moments of our lives. Open our eyes to recognize You in the faces of those we serve, in the beauty of creation, and in the quiet whispers of Your Spirit. Let our hearts burn with the same faith and adoration that led the healed man to fall at Jesus’ feet. We affirm our belief that You are the Messiah, the Son of God, who came to save and restore. Lord, we believe, and we worship You with all that we are, in Jesus’ Name. Amen
