2024 is Faith of Christ Year of Prayer.
We open our hearts to God for Him to work in our lives with His Grace. There will exist closeness and will give an answer to Jesus Christ prayer for us to be one with the Father and Son. “I have shown people here on the earth how great You are. In that way, I have finished the work that You gave to Me to do. You gave some people to Me who were from this world. I have shown them who You are. They were Yours and You gave them to Me. They have obeyed Your message. Everything that I have comes from You. Now they know that You gave Me everything. I gave to them the message that You gave to Me. They accepted that message. They know certainly that I came from You. They believe that You sent Me. I pray for them. I am not praying for the people who belong to this world. No, I am praying for those people that You have given to Me. I am praying for them because they are Yours. Everything that I have is Yours. And everything that You have is Mine. These people have shown how great I am. I will not remain in the world any longer. I will return to You now. But they will still be here in the world. Holy Father, please keep them safe in Your Name. That is the powerful Name that You gave to Me. Then they can be united in the same way that You and I are united. While I was with them, I kept them safe in the power of Your Name. That is the Name that You gave to Me. I kept them safe so that only one of them turned away from You. That was the man who had to become lost. The Bible already said that it would happen in that way. (John 17) Jesus prayed for His disciples and His disciples in the future, the Church, the Body of Christ. We are part of this Body because we live in the Faith and Grace of God. Remaining faithful to Christ, the Father is satisfied. Enhancing the relationship with the Father calls for a lot of prayers. God wants to talk to His Children. The closer we come to God in prayers the more Christlike our views and actions become. Let us join in the unity of Spirit this 2024 and receive great rewards from Him in Christ, Blessed New Year to all.
