Bless my encounter with Jesus.

 Amen. This is a powerful and heartfelt prayer. To ask for a blessed encounter with Jesus is to seek the most transformative experience a human being can have. It is a desire to move beyond knowing about Him to truly knowing Him in a real and personal way.

God promises that those who seek Him will find Him:

"You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart." - Jeremiah 29:13 (ESV)

"Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you." - James 4:8 (ESV)

What Does a Blessed Encounter with Jesus Look Like?

It can happen in many ways, but it always results in change. It might be:

· A moment of profound peace in the midst of chaos.

· A deep conviction of sin that leads to repentance and forgiveness.

· An overwhelming sense of His love that washes away shame and fear.

· A clear direction or answer that comes through His Word.

· A fresh infilling of the Holy Spirit that brings power and joy.

· A quiet assurance of His presence that reminds you you are not alone.

A Prayer for a Blessed Encounter

Lord Jesus,

I come to You with a hungry heart. I ask for a fresh, real, and powerful encounter with You. I don't want to just know stories about You; I want to know You.

· Reveal Yourself to me. Open the eyes of my heart to see You in Your beauty, holiness, and love.

· Speak to me. Let me hear Your voice above all the noise of this world, whether through Your Word, Your Spirit, or Your people.

· Touch me. Heal the broken places in my heart. Mend my wounds. Fill me with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.

· Transform me. Let this encounter change me from the inside out. Make me more like You. Give me a greater love for God and for people.

I remove every distraction. I quiet my soul before You. I am here, Lord. I am seeking You. I believe Your promise that as I draw near to You, You will draw near to me.

Bless my encounter with You. Let it be a moment I will never forget, a marker in my life that deepens my faith, strengthens my walk, and secures my hope.

In Your mighty name, I pray. Amen.

A Poem: "Bless This Encounter"

"Bless This Encounter"

I seek no mere emotion, No fleeting,shallow thought. I seek the Ocean of all love, For which my soul has sought.

I seek the King of Glory, The One who knows my name. The One who took my cross and shame, And bore my sin and blame.

So, bless this seeking, bless this hour, With Your presence and Your power. Bless this encounter,Lord, I pray, Meet with me in a special way.

Break through the walls I’ve built so high, With grace and truth from sky to sky. Let doubt and fear be swept away, By what You choose to do and say.

Let Heaven’s light shine in this place, And let me see You face to face. Not with my eyes,but with my soul, To know Your love has made me whole.

And when I rise from where I kneel, Let this encounter be so real, That I am changed,and I can see, Your path of life ahead for me.

May your heart be open and expectant. He is faithful, and He will meet you where you are. May your encounter with Jesus leave you forever changed, filled with His peace, and compelled to follow Him more closely than ever before.
