1 Peter 1

By your grace and gift, Father, I have faith. I find that Jesus Christ has been revealed to me. I love him and hear him even though I have not seen him yet. But I believe, and so I rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, and I receive the end of my faith, the salvation of my soul.

I tighten up my thinking. I am sober. I rest my hope fully upon your grace, Father. Your grace has become obvious, plentiful, and real to me through the revelation of Jesus as your Messiah, and as my Lord and Savior.

My soul has been purified through belief in your gospel. I have been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through your word, Father. Your word now lives in me. Your word endures forever, and I abide in your word.
