God creates things (food, marriage, etc.)  to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer.

I pray today to be a good servant to you, Lord Jesus, trained in the words of the faith and good doctrine. I have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths.  Rather, I train myself for godliness. Godliness is a value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come. This fact is true and worthy of full acceptance.  To this end I work and persist, because I have my hope set on the living God who is my savior.

By your grace, father, I set believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity. I devote myself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching.
