Romans 11 &12
Thank you for your mercies, Father. I once was disobedient, yet have now obtained mercy since, by your determination, salvation has come to the Gentiles.
In effect, I am a wild olive branch, but by your grace and election, I have been grafted into your kingdom and have become a partaker of the riches of your grace and nature (a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree).
I stand here by faith. I am glad of your adoption, but have nothing to be proud of regarding my works. I did not earn this place with you. Instead, I regard your mercy for me with reverent awe and worship.
I consider your goodness and your severity, Father, and I thank you for your continued goodness. I think soberly as you have dealt to me the gift of faith. For all things of life are of you and through you, and to you for your glory forever.
Therefore, today, Father, in view of your mercy to me, I offer my body to you as a living sacrifice. I rejoice in hope. I am patient in tribulation, and I am instant and ceaseless in communion with you.

AMEN 🙏
