2 Corinthians 5; Isaiah 32&36

Good morning, Lord Jesus. God, our father, in great mercy, made you who knew no sin to be sin for me, that I could become righteous before God in you. I receive your gift of righteousness with joy and humility. I don’t deserve it, but you give it as a free gift of grace, and I take it and hold onto it in faith and thanksgiving.

Living in the truth of your righteousness, Lord Jesus, effects peace and quietness in my life. I have all your assurances of everlasting life. I dwell in peaceful habitation and in secure and quiet rest.

Your Holy Spirit teaches me and leads me. He strengthens my weak hands and makes firm my feeble knees. I am strong in you, Lord, and I do not fear. You have come to me, and you are for me, so I have nothing to fear. You have saved me; saved me from myself, from sin, and from the world system.

You have opened my eyes and my ears so that I can follow you and commune with you. I dance, and I sing to you, Father God. You have made my life a lush paradise, and you have put me firmly on your highway of holiness.
