Blessed be you, my heavenly father. You are Almighty God and the father of Jesus, the Christ. According to your great mercy, father, you have caused me to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled and unfailing, kept in heaven for me. I am being guarded by you, father, through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

I rejoice in this faith and your promises, father, even though from time to time here in these times I am grieved by various trials.  These trials test the genuineness of my faith; that my faith more precious than gold tested by fire, be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.  Though I have not seen him, I love him. I believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory. Thank you, father, for the salvation of my soul.
