Philippians 3; 1 Corinthians 6; Philippians 3

Father, thank you for your salvation. I belong to you now. I have been bought with a price, and I am no longer my own.

Now, father, you work in me through the presence of your Holy Spirit and your word of life. You work your will in my actions, so that I am a pleasure to you.

I am led by your Spirit, and I do the things you have for me to do without disputing or complaining. In Christ I am your child without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation.

Your light in me shines for me and shines out to those around me as a beacon of hope; as a light in the world.

I have divine joy in Christ Jesus, and I put no confidence in the flesh. I count all the fleshy stuff and selfish lust as past loss, and instead, I pursue a living daily relationship with Christ Jesus, my Lord.

I am bound no longer to the things that this world calls important. I count them as rubbish, and instead, I choose Christ. I press on that I may lay hold of Jesus as he has laid hold of me. I know him in his power and in his fellowship.
