Lord, I humble myself before you today. You are God; God of heaven above and earth below. I acknowledge and take heart in that. I draw near to you today. Thank you that you draw near to me.  Thank you, Lord, for calling me and choosing me; for cleansing me and transforming me. My life here in this flesh is just a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes away; but the new life that you have given me is eternal and is always with you and in you.

Lord Jesus, I praise the father that you are made wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption for me. This is not earthy unspiritual wisdom, but your wisdom is pure and peaceable, gentle and open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.  Out of your wisdom a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who are yours. Strivings cease and peace prevails.
