Acts 2; Romans 15

Father, I know you have made Jesus both Lord and Christ. You raised him from the dead and exalted him, Lord and Savior, and now he is seated at your right hand. Now he pours your Holy Spirit out, from you, into my heart with love.

I have seen the light of the Lord and believe he is your Christ. He has granted me repentance and called me into your glorious kingdom.

By your grace, and Jesus’ sacrifice, my sins are forgiven, and I am in Christ, and Christ is in me. I am saved from this perverse and lost world.

My heart rejoices, and my tongue is glad. My flesh rests in hope because you, Father, the God of Hope, fill me with joy and peace through faith. Now, empowered and encouraged, by the presence and person of your Holy Spirit, I abound in hope.
