Lord Jesus, Alpha and Omega, you are the firstborn and ruler of kings on earth. I come humbly to acknowledge your sovereignty. I bring my offering of gratitude, because you freed me from my sin by shedding your blood in place of mine. You made me part of your kingdom of priests by your grace. Now, I wait and pray, because you will be coming with the clouds so that everyone will see and know that you are the Christ. It is in your precious name and powerful authority that I pray, according to the good and perfect will of the Father. Amen.
“John to the seven churches that are in Asia:
Grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne, and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth.” (Revelation 1:4-5a ESV)
