1 Peter 5&4

Thank you, father, for a kingdom that can’t be moved. By grace I am a part of your kingdom and I am of use to you as you see fit. I come to you today with reverence and godly fear. I cast all my anxieties on you, Father, for I know you care for me. I resist evil in all its personifications and machianations and stay firm in my faith knowing that after a time, you, my heavenly father, the God of all grace, will yourself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish me in your eternal glory in Christ. Your care, father, is my refuge. Your word is my food.

Christ suffered in his flesh for me as an atonement for my sin, and as a hero showing me the way to live holy in this world. So, by your grace, father, I take up the same way of thinking. I suffer this flesh to suffer and not to lead me nor to draw me into living any longer in human passions, but instead to live for the will of God the rest of my time on this earth in this body.
