Ephesians 4 & 5

Thank you, Lord Jesus, that you teach me. I have heard you. I put off my old man who reverts to deceitful lust. I’m renewed in the spirit of my mind, and I put on the new man who is born in me and created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.

My actions and decisions are yours, Holy Spirit. I tell the truth. I may get angry, but I do not sin. I do not hold on to the anger nor give the enemy a foothold in my mind and spirit.

I do not covet or steal. I do my work with attention and quality. I am generous. No corrupt communication comes out of my mouth, but only word that ministers grace to the hearer and builds up.

I am sealed with the Holy Spirit. You are with me at all times and forever, Lord, so I try hard not to disappoint you. I put away all bitterness and clamor and evil talk. I pray that I am kind and tenderhearted.

I am quick to forgive others as you, oh Lord, have forgiven me. I walk in love as you, Lord Jesus, have loved me and given yourself for me.
