I Thessalonians 5,3&4; Romans 12,8&6

Thank you, Father, that you did not appoint me to wrath, but instead you appointed me to obtain salvation.

By your power and presence in me, through Jesus Christ, you have established my heart blameless in holiness before you. My sanctification is your will and plan.

You, the God of Peace, sanctify me completely and my whole spirit, soul and body are preserved blameless at the coming of my Lord Jesus Christ.

In the meantime, I am transformed by the renewing of my mind. My character is conformed to the image of the Lord Jesus. I’m no longer conformed to the pattern of this world. Instead, I am filled with the spirit of the God of Peace. I am led by God, the Spirit, and no longer led by the lust of my flesh.

Instead, I aspire to lead 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.
