Acts 20; John 6 & 17; I Cor. 6

Paul sums up the whole counsel of God as: repentance towards God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. I pray and study your word carefully, father, that I will be quick to repent; that I might be able to see and confess when my thoughts are leading me towards sin. Grant me strength to turn away from sins and, even better, to crush sinful intentions before they can manifest.

I study and pray today to increase and strengthen my belief that Jesus is the Christ; that he is my savior and I have received him; and that I am born again by the spirit of God. I belong to you, father. I have been bought with a price and I’m no longer my own. I have eternal life because I know you, father, the only true God, and I know you, Lord Jesus, whom the father has sent to be my Messiah. You, Lord Jesus, give to me food that endures to eternal life. I seek you, Lord Jesus, and I come to you. You feed me and you slake my thirst.
