came that we might know him and his Father and the eternal life
that can be ours no other way.
Oh, Father, I praise you that eternal life is as simple as knowing you
and your Son. I choose to know you and to know Jesus, and I pray
for each person reading this book that his or her heart may be cap-
tured by your love and won by your mercy. Stir each person so that
he or she may stop reading right this minute and say, “Yes, Lord, I
want to know you. Come into my heart.” Amen.101 MOST POWERFUL PRAYERS IN THE BI BLE 187
