As a Representative of the Lord Jesus


And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father.

—Colossians 3:17 (NLT)


Father God,


Help me to represent my Lord Jesus well this day—in my thoughts, words and actions—so that my very life becomes a continual act of giving thanks, through Him to You.


As a grateful follower of Your Son, Jesus, let every aspect of my daily life reflect well on the One whose Name and whose Love I carry with me—into this dark and lost world.

Let me ever be conscious of the impression that I leave with others, so that I would always show them the love of Christ—that they might be changed by the Christ they see in me, for Your glory.

Help me remember to speak only words of life, truth, love and encouragement to everyone that I encounter, both today and every day.

Help me always remain obedient to Your commands and submitted to Your authority—to depend on Your strength and remain in Your peace, serving You in all things with joy.

Let my life be an offering of grateful worship to You for all the gentle compassion, patient mercy, complete forgiveness, amazing grace, and unfailing love that You have poured out over me through Jesus Christ.


Help me to represent my Lord Jesus well this day—in my thoughts, words and actions—so that my very life becomes a continual act of giving thanks, through Him to You.


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
