Prayer to Thank Jesus to Be My High Priest

"Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess." – Hebrews 4:14

The Bible tells us that when Christ ascended to heaven, He took up the ministry of High Priest to all who come to Him by faith." (Hebrews 7:24).

Jesus is unchangeable! He is the same yesterday, today and forever. As long as you live, He will be your High Priest in heaven, interceding on your behalf. And He will remain your High Priest until you go home to be with Him.

Our High Priest Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father, in the seat of authority. Our High Priest has all power and authority at His command!

Jesus is in the Father's presence right now, interceding for us. He confronts our accuser, the devil, and says, "I rebuke you, Satan! This one is mine because he is sprinkled in My blood. He is secure, his debt fully paid. He is set free!"

Here is a prayer to thank Jesus to be your High Priest.

Prayer

Lord, I am so thankful that You beckon me to come boldly to Your throne of grace. It is so reassuring to know that You want me to not only come to You, but to speak up and boldly make my needs known. According to Your Word, there is no better time for me to be bold than when I am facing a need, so today I am going to be very bold and tell You what is on my heart and what I need. I thank You that Jesus is my High Priest and that He understands me and everything that affects my life. I pray this in Jesus’ name! Amen.

Confession

I confess that no one wants me to succeed more than Jesus Himself. He knows the challenges I face as I pursue what He has put in my heart. He knows I will face moments when I am physically tired and mentally exhausted. Jesus understands every single emotion and temptation I will ever face, and He is always right there to provide grace to help me in my time of need. God wants me to be very direct about telling Him when I need help, so today I come boldly before His throne to tell Him about the needs I am facing in my life. I never have to be timid or fearful about telling the Lord exactly what I need because He encourages me to speak up and be bold. I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!
