2 Corinthians 4

You, Father, who commanded light to shine out of darkness, have given me light in my heart to see the Lord Jesus, and to see your grace and glory through the life of Jesus.

Now your Holy Spirit fills me like a treasure in an earthen vessel. The power and presence who transforms and converts and leads me is from you.

Now I live by your spirit. I die to my old man each day that the life of Jesus will manifest in my mortal flesh.

You, Holy Spirit, who raised the Lord Jesus, raise me up with Jesus each day. You lead me in paths of righteousness, for the glory of God, our father. I abound in thanksgiving to you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

You have given me a ministry, Lord. I seek to speak and live your truth. I do not preach myself, but I preach Christ Jesus, the Lord, and me as your bond servant for Christ’s sake.

By your grace and divine presence in me, Lord, my inward man is being renewed day by day. You work your glory in me, Father. I keep my eyes on you and your word for there is life eternal.
