1 Peter 4

Lord Jesus, since you suffered in the flesh, I arm myself with the same attitude, because I see that as I suffer in the flesh I am finished with sin.

By your grace, father, and your presence within me, Holy Spirit, I spend the rest of my time on this earth concerned about your will for me, father, and not about my human desires.

Oh, in times past, I lived like an unbeliever. I walked in lust and lasciviousness, but then your gospel was preached to me, father, and I came alive to your call and life. I was born again. I was converted. I was made alive spiritually through Christ Jesus.

Now as I receive the gift of your spirit, father, I pray I would serve others accurately and wisely as a good steward of the varied grace of God.

I pray I would speak the very words of God; that I would serve in the strength you supply, Lord, so that in everything, God, our father, would be glorified through you, Lord Jesus.
