Luke 4 & 5; 2 Timothy 2; 1 John 1; Luke 7; 1 Thessalonians 4; 1 Corinthians 3

Thank you, Lord Jesus, that through your word, you preached the kingdom of God to me. When I was lost in sin, you called me to repentance, and you, Father, granted me repentance. By your grace, I came to my senses and escaped the snare of the devil who had taken me captive to do his will.

Yes, I was lost in my sin and nastiness, but you, Lord Jesus, brought me back to the Father. I confessed my sin, and you, Father, forgave me and cleansed me from all unrighteousness.

I was forgiven much by your life, Lord Jesus, and now I love you much. Now I wait on you. I trust you, and I welcome your sanctifying presence, person, and power in my life, day to day, moment by moment, thought by thought.

Thank you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, that you move in me and make me increase and abound in love for others. You establish my heart blameless in holiness before you.

Filled and set in Christ, and led by God the Spirit, I live a quiet life, doing the work you have for me, Father, and minding my own business, walking properly before all people and lacking nothing in my life. I am Christ’s, and Christ is yours, Father.
