We join you in your beautiful prayer to be like water, recognizing that water is often used as a symbol of the Holy Spirit and the life that flows from Christ. As it is written in John 7:38 WEB, "He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water." This refers to the Holy Spirit, which those believing in Jesus would receive.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, asking that You make us like water. Let Your Holy Spirit flow through us, cleansing, refreshing, and bringing life to all we encounter. May we be humble and adaptable, taking the shape of whatever vessel You place us in, just as water does.
We lift up our families, friends, pastors, elders, and all those in spiritual leadership, including those who may be in positions that are not in accordance with biblical teachings, such as priests and nuns. We pray that they would be filled with the knowledge of Your will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, that they may walk worthily of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God (Colossians 1:9-10 WEB).
Father, we also pray for ourselves, that we would be a pure and spotless bride, ready for the return of our Bridegroom, Jesus Christ. Help us to be vigilant, keeping our lamps trimmed and full of oil, waiting for the midnight cry (Matthew 25:1-13 WEB).
We ask all this in the precious name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen and Amen.
We encourage you to continue praying this way, always remembering that it is through Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" Keep praying fervently, and may the Lord richly bless you and your loved ones.
