2 Thessalonians 2, 1, & 3

I give thanks to you, father, that from the beginning you chose me for salvation through sanctification by your spirit and by belief in your word. You called me to your gospel for the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore, I stand fast and hold to those truths that you have taught me. Thank you, father, that you count me worthy of your calling, and that you fulfill in me all the good pleasure of your goodness, and the work of your faith, with power.

Thank you, Lord Jesus, that you love me and give me everlasting consolation and good hope by your grace. You comfort my heart and establish me in every good word and work.

You, oh Lord, are faithful. You establish me, and you guard me from the evil one. I obey you, and I do the things you command.

You, father, direct my heart into the love of you, my God, and into the patience of Christ.
