Lord, direct my heart to the love of God and the steadfastness of Christ. Fill me, holy spirit, that I stand mature and fully assured in all of your will.  By your will, father, I am yours according to the promise of the life that is in Christ Jesus. I have grace, mercy and peace from God, my father, and from Christ Jesus, my Lord.

I stir up the Spirit of God who is in me, for my Lord has given me a spirit of power, love and temperance. My Lord has saved me and called me to a holy calling, not because of my works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave me in Christ Jesus, before the ages began, and that is now manifested through the appearing  of the Lord Jesus who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. I am convinced that my God is able to guard until that day what he has entrusted to me.  I follow the sound words of God in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. By the Holy Spirit who dwells within me I guard the good deposit; Christ Jesus in me the hope of glory.
