Romans, 15&16; Colossians 1&2

Father, you are the God of Hope, and through faith in Christ Jesus, you see that I am filled with all joy and peace and that I abound in hope by the power and presence of your Holy Spirit, who dwells and communes with me.

You, Father, have established me in your kingdom, according to your gospel and through the preaching of Jesus Christ. You have given me revelation and understanding of your mysterious means of conversion kept hidden since the world began, but now revealed to all who are enabled to see and hear.

The answer to the mystery of your means of sanctification, salvation, and eternal glorification is your placing of Christ into each believer by your Holy Spirit. The literal Glory of Almighty God dwells in me now and forever.

Thus, you were able to present me to yourself perfect in Christ Jesus, and I am able to walk now, day by day, rooted and built up in Christ and established in faith and abounding in thanksgiving.
