Isaiah 61

Lord Jesus, the Holy Spirit was upon you, and you were anointed by God, our father, to preach good tidings to the lost, to heal the brokenhearted, and to proclaim liberty to the captives.

In grace, you moved in my heart and mind and showed me that it was time to repent and to live in faith in your lordship and saving grace. I saw my sin, and I mourned.

You comforted me, and you gave me the beauty of your perfect life and atoning sacrifice in place of the ashes of regret. You filled me with the joy of your salvation and an understanding of your sovereignty so that I am clothed in a garment of praise for you as God and Savior.

Now I am filled with your spirit and rooted in you as Christ and Redeemer. You, Lord Jesus, are my righteousness, and your fruit comes forth through me to your glory and honor.
