Matthew 15; Philippians 4; Ephesians 3

Praise you, Lord Jesus, my heart is near you. Your word is my doctrine. I have been planted by you. I am yours. By your grace through faith, I have been born again. With your word, and in communion with your spirit, I keep watch over my heart.

I meditate on things that are true and noble, just and pure, lovely and of good report. I keep my eyes on that which I have learned and received, and heard and seen in you, Lord Jesus, things that have virtue and that are praiseworthy. Those are the things I meditate on and you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are with me in all of that.

In that way I have learned to be content whether I abound or suffer need. I am Christ’s, and because you, Lord Jesus, are mine, I can do all these things through you, because it is your spirit in me who strengthens me.

You, Lord, supply everything I need according to your riches in glory. You grant me, according to those glorious riches, to be strengthened with might by your Holy Spirit, who dwells and works in my inner man.
