1 Thessalonians 1,4&5

Thank you, Holy Spirit, for convicting me of my sin and my hateful past, and for granting me repentance, so that I would turn from selfish, self-centered idolatry to serve the living and true God. And so I serve and wait on Jesus, the son, who has delivered me from the wrath to come.

Now Christ dwells in me, and I am led by the very Spirit of God. I walk worthy of almighty God who has called me into his own kingdom and glory.

I aspire to lead a quiet life and to mind my own business, and to work with joy with my hands, that I may walk properly with all that are around me, and that I may lack nothing in my life.

Today, I rejoice always. I pray without ceasing, and in everything I give thanks. I live in God, my father’s will. I commune with, and I am led by God the Spirit.

You, father, the God of peace, sanctify me completely, and my whole spirit, soul, and body is preserved blameless for the coming of my Lord Jesus Christ.
