1 Corinthians 6; Acts 16&17

By your grace, Father, I am washed and sanctified and justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by your Holy Spirit. I belong to you, Father. I have been bought with a price, and I am no longer my own.

I believe on the Lord Jesus, and I have been baptized. I am saved. My world is turned upside down. I receive your word with joy and confidence. I search your scriptures diligently.

Father, I know that you made the world and everything in it. You are Lord of heaven and earth. You do not dwell in temples made of hands. You are not worshiped by my flesh as if you needed anything that I could do.

It is you and you alone, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, who give life and breath and all things to your creation. You have determined all those who are yours, Lord, and you have appointed times and boundaries for each of us.

I seek you, Lord, and I find you. I have eternal, divine communion with you, Father, through Jesus, your son. You fill me with your presence, and in you, through Christ, I live and move and have my being.
