This elegant but powerful prayer will lead you to an incredible place—the high point of heaven and the restoration of all things!
When you think of a Jesus prayer, your mind first goes to what has come to be called the Lord’s prayer. But that’s not what is in view here.
The Jesus Prayer is one of the most elegant prayers ever spoken. It is brief, authentic, and heartfelt. It has been tested across the globe and through the centuries and proven humbling and powerful. It is a simple one-line prayer:
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
When we speak the Jesus Prayer, we are submitting ourselves to Jesus Christ and availing ourselves to all his name affords—especially his mercy. The name of Jesus carries the identity and power of God, and we are transported to the high place of heaven and changed in his presence. Through this prayer, we enter into communion and dominion with God our creator.
The Jesus Prayer is an elegant practice used to awaken our spiritual selves, which in turn transforms the rest of our person and those around us. We go from God’s presence into the world to advance the mercies of God and establish the earth as our home—as was intended in the beginning.
