✠ In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Heavenly Father, in this sacred watch before the dawn I come seeking the Holy Face of Your Son, for Your Word says, “I rise before dawn and cry for help; I hope in Your Word” (Psalm 119:147). In the stillness of this hour I turn my heart toward Jesus, believing that “Those who look to Him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed” (Psalm 34:5). Let the light of His Holy Face shine upon me now.
Lord Jesus, I seek Your Holy Face with all my heart, for “Your face, Lord, I will seek” (Psalm 27:8). In this quiet hour, let Your gaze rest upon me with mercy and love. Where there is fear, let Your Face bring peace; where there is heaviness, let Your presence bring rest. I long to behold Your glory, knowing that “In Your presence there is fullness of joy” (Psalm 16:11).
Father, as I look toward the Holy Face of Jesus, I hold onto Your promise that “The Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace” (Numbers 6:25–26). Let that blessing cover me now bringing peace to my heart, calm to my mind, and assurance to my spirit.
Lord Jesus, in this early hour I remember that “We all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image” (2 Corinthians 3:18). As I gaze upon You in faith, transform my heart, renew my thoughts, and strengthen my spirit for the day ahead.
Father, I trust in Your protection through this hour, for “The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade at your right hand” (Psalm 121:5). Let the Holy Face of Jesus watch over me, guard my life, and surround me with divine presence as the dawn approaches.
As morning draws near, I rest in Your faithfulness, knowing that “Your steadfast love never ceases; Your mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness” (Lamentations 3:22–23).
In the mighty Name of Jesus Christ,
Amen. ✠
