Philippians 4&3; Romans 8; Philippians 1; Ephesians 1; Romans 15

Father, today I meditate on things that are good and true and pure. I looked for things with virtue and for actions that are praiseworthy. I study to learn from your word and from the lives of your people who I am in Christ and how I should be.

My goal is to be who you called me to be in Christ. I know that you, the God of Peace, foreknew me, and that you have predestined me to be conformed to the image of your son, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Moreover, those whom you predestine you also call, who you call, you also justify, and whom you justify, you also glorified. You are for me, Lord, so it is certain that nothing and no one can prevail against your will with my life.

Therefore, I am certain you will complete all that you have begun in me. I know that in your timing I will arrive before you holy, blameless, and complete in Christ.

I have peace and joy through faith in you, father. And by the power and presence in me of you, Holy Spirit, I abound in hope.
