I Thess. 4&5

Hallelujah, father, fill me today that I will walk in ways that please you. I thank you that my sanctification is your will for me.  Take charge of me today, Holy Spirit, that I will live in holiness and honor. Today, by your grace, I aspire to live a quiet life and to mind my own business, and to work with joy with my hands;  that I may walk properly with all that are around me, and that I may lack nothing in my life.

Your day will come, Lord Jesus, like a thief in the night. Even though I don’t know exactly when, I will not be totally surprised for I am a child of light, a child of day; of that day. I do not sleep as others do, but I keep awake and I’m sober minded.  I put on the breastplate of faith and love, and the sure hope of salvation is my helmet. Father, you did not destine me for wrath, but praise God, you destined me for salvation.
