Prayer for Joy in Jesus (Phil 3:8)

Original Prayer

Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.

Context (Old Covenant)

Word of Paul (Phil 3:8), New Covenant: knowing Christ as supreme joy, more than any achievement.

What it teaches

Christ as the highest value.

Realization in the New Covenant

Paul counts everything as loss compared to knowing Christ (Phil 3:8).

  • ›In the New Covenant Jesus is not a religion but someone you know and who lives in you.
  • ›Joy in Jesus does not come from duty but from relationship. The more you know Him, the more everything else becomes relative.

Prayer in the New Covenant

Jesus, I want to know You more. Thank You that You are my worth and my joy. Draw my heart to You. Amen.
