My Lord Jesus, the Christ, is the same yesterday, today and forever. Through him I continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, the father, that is the fruit of my lips that acknowledges his name (His character, His glory, mercy and grace). He is the God of peace who brought again from the dead my Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant.
Lord, equip me with everything good that I may do your will. Work in me that which is pleasing in your sight through Jesus Christ alive in me, my hope of glory. By your grace I lay aside every weight and sin which cling so closely and I run with endurance the race you have set before me, looking to Jesus the author and finisher of my life story, who for the joy set before him endured the cross and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
