1 Peter 5&4

You, father, are the God of all grace. You have called me to your eternal glory in Christ. You, yourself, restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish me. To you, great God, be the dominion forever and ever.

I humble myself before you, father. Without you I am lost and helpless in the spiritual battle, but with you as my God, in Christ, I am sober minded and watchful.

I am able to resist the wiles and temptations of the adversary. I cast all my cares on you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, for I know that you care for me.

Today, I reckon myself dead to my flesh and alive to your Spirit, father. In times past I lived as the lost live, living in sensuality and worldly passions. But now I suffer in the flesh so as to live the rest of my time in the flesh for the will of you, Almighty God.

Your gospel was preached to me, and by your grace, I heard it. Now I live in your spirit; the way you would have me live.
