2 Samuel 22; 2 Corinthians 5

Lord Jesus, you are my rock and my fortress, and my deliverer. You are my strength, and I trust in you. You are my shield and the horn of my salvation. You are my stronghold and my refuge. You saved me, Lord Jesus, from my violent selfishness.

I call upon you, Lord, and you save me from bondage and death. You are worthy of praise and worship.

In this world, waves of death and ungodliness surround me. There is sorrow and loss of loved ones and the snares of deceivers. I cry out to you, and you hear me. You fill me as your temple with your Holy Spirit, and so am I always in communion with you and never alone or forsaken.

By your grace and love, you chose me and called me. You picked me out of the multitude and delivered me from the evil one. Sin and the devil were too strong for me, but by you and with you, I am delivered from bondage to sin and born from above, by your spirit, with your nature.

I am in Christ, and I am a new creation. The old things have passed away, and behold, everything about me now is new and divine. Thank you, great God, Almighty.
