Titus 1; 2 Timothy 4

Thank you, Father, for grace, mercy, and peace from you, my God, and from you, Lord Jesus, my Savior. I am your bond servant, and a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ in accord with the faith you have gifted me with, as one elected by you.

By your grace, and through your indwelling power, I live in godliness and hope. By Christ’s life, death, and resurrection, I am blameless, not selfish or quick tempered, not given to alcohol, violence, or greed.

Instead, led by your Holy Spirit, I am hospitable, a lover of what is good, sober minded, just, holy, and tempered for all circumstances. I know and hold to good doctrine and live in truth with you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

I am watchful in all things. I endure afflictions with hope. I do the work of an evangelist. I fulfill the ministry you have given me. You, great God and father, deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for your heavenly kingdom.
