1 Peter 2&1

Father, thank you for the grace and faith to believe your gospel. I put my faith in Jesus. He is the living stone; the chief cornerstone. He is precious. On Christ, your chosen cornerstone, you are building a spiritual house, a holy priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifices to you.

Jesus is that cornerstone; elect and precious. I believe on him and will by no means be put to shame. Even though he will be rejected by most men, Jesus is your cornerstone. He is meant by you to be a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense to those people who are not yours.

But, by your grace and mercy, father, I am yours. Like a sheep I once was going astray but now, through Christ, I have returned to the shepherd and overseer of my soul.

I have heard your truth and I have received Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I have been born again of your incorruptible seed, your word, father, which lives and abides forever.
