2 Timothy 1 & 1 Timothy 6

Thank you, Father, that with your power you have saved me and called me to a holy calling. This call is not based on my works, but it is according to your own purpose for me, and it is active by the grace given to me in Christ Jesus before time began.

Now your grace and power and purpose are revealed to me by the resurrection and appearance of my savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.

In all of that you have appointed me to preach and to teach your word. And I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that he is able to keep what I have committed to him until the day of the Lord.

In the meantime, I hold fast to your sound word, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I belong to you, Father, and I am content. I brought nothing into this world, and I know I will carry nothing out.

I am content with your gracious and loving provision to me. I flee the love of money or worldly “security” and instead, pursue righteousness and daily peace with you, Father. I fight the good fight of faith, and I lay hold of eternal life.
