Thank you, Lord, that by your grace with the presence of your spirit and by the power of your living word you have opened my eyes, so that I have turned from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God; that I have received forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in Jesus, the Christ.

Jesus is the apostle and high priest of my confession. He was faithful to the mission appointed to him by God, our heavenly father.  Christ is faithful over God’s house as a son and I am his house. Today I hear his voice and my heart is soft to his words and his love.  I hold fast to the confidence I have placed in Jesus as the Christ, and I boast in him as my hope. I believe and I have the rest of God for my soul. Rest, peace and hope.
