I Thessalonians 1; Colossians 4; I Thessalonians 1,2,3&4

Thank you, Lord Jesus, that you have delivered me from the wrath to come. I continue steadfast in prayer; I am watchful in it with thanksgiving.

By your grace, I have been approved by you and I am entrusted with your gospel, and so I speak, not to please man but to please you, father.

Today, Father, fill me and make me increase and abound in love for others and for your work for others. Establish my heart blameless in holiness before you, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Take charge of me today, Holy Spirit, that I would walk in a way that pleases you; continue my sanctification. Fill my thoughts that I would control my own body in holiness and honor not the passions of lust as those who do not know you.

Today, Lord, see that I live a quiet life, that I mind my own business, that I work with joy with my hands, that I walk properly with all who are around me, and that I lack nothing in my life.
