Titus 2; 1 Timothy 6, 1&2; 1 Peter 5

Father, your grace that brings salvation has appeared to me, and you have taught me that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, I should live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age, looking always for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of my great God and Savior, Jesus Christ

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for giving yourself to redeem me from every lawless deed and to purify and make me your person, zealous for good works.

Now I pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, and gentleness. I lay hold on eternal life to which you have called me, Lord Jesus

I pray for our leaders, Lord. Guard them, convert them, give them wisdom, and take out the liars and thieves, that we can live quiet and peaceful lives in all godliness and reverence.

I humble myself under your mighty hand, Father. I cast all my care upon you, for I know that you care for me. I resist ungodliness and confusion, steadfast in the faith, and you, the God of all grace, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle me to your glory and dominion and honor, forever and ever.
