2 Thess. 2&3

Good morning, father, direct my heart today to the love you have for me and to the steadfastness of Jesus, my Lord! You, oh Lord, are faithful. You establish me and guard me against the evil one.  Lord, thank you for eternal comfort and good hope through your grace. Thank you that you comfort my heart and establish me in every good work.

I give thanks to you, father, because you chose me as first fruits to be saved through sanctification by your Holy Spirit, and belief in your word; your truth.  You called me to you through the gospel so that I obtain the glory of my Lord Jesus. So I stand firm and hold onto all I have been taught.  Make me worthy of your calling and fulfill every resolve for good and every work of faith that you have for me by your power.  Today, oh Lord, give me your peace at all times and in every way. Be with me, Lord! Thank you.
