Titus 2 & 3

I do not understand it all, Father, and I certainly haven’t earned it, but nevertheless, you, for your own purposes and by your grace, have chosen me and have decided sovereignly to redeem me from every lawless deed and to purify me to be one of your special people, zealous to be of use to you.

By your grace and mercy, you brought salvation to men. You have taught me to deny ungodliness and worldly lust. You have filled me with a nature who lives soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age.

Now through faith and in communion with you, Holy Spirit, I look forward with blessed hope to the glorious appearing of my great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. He gave himself for me according to your mercy, Father.

You, Lord Jesus, saved me through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom you poured out on me abundantly.
