Colossians 2&3

Father, by your grace to me, I continue in the faith. I am grounded and steadfast, and I am not moved away from the omnipotent hope of your gospel.

I have received Christ Jesus as my Lord. I walk with him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith as your word teaches. I abound in thanksgiving.

Your word and your Spirit, father, dwell in me, so that I am not confused by worldly philosophy or outright deceit. I am not judged in food or drink or in regard to festivals or sabbaths. These are merely shadows, but the substance is ceaseless communion with Christ.

Jesus is the head of your body, and from him each of us is nourished and knit together as members of your body. Therefore, I have died with Christ to the basic principles of the world and from the passions of the flesh, and I have been born again in Christ, and I seek those things that are yours, father.
