1 Peter 2; 1 Corinthians 6

Lord God, I see that in this lost and dying world I am just a sojourner and pilgrim. I am, by your grace, becoming more and more out of step with the fleshy world.

I believe in Jesus as your Messiah, Father, as the one who delivers me from the lost. Jesus is a stone of stumbling to those that are lost, but to me, he is a precious cornerstone.

In Christ, I am one of a chosen generation, part of a royal priesthood, a citizen in a holy nation. I am special to you, Father; set apart to proclaim praises to you. I praise you because you called me out of darkness and into your marvelous light.

I was, at one time, lost and alone, but now, by your mercy, I have become yours. My body is now a temple for your Holy Spirit, who dwells in me, Father. I am no longer my own, because you bought me with your precious price.

Now and forever, I belong to you, Father. I glorify you in my body and in my spirit.
