2 Peter 1

Thank you, Father, for the gift of a like and precious faith in you as my Heavenly Father, and in Jesus, your Christ, as my Lord and Savior. Grace and peace are multiplied to me, as I grow in a precise and correct understanding of you and in communion with you.

Your divine power births your nature in me and gives me all things pertaining to life and godliness, through that personal knowledge and fellowship.

You have called me to glory and virtue and have given me the exceedingly great and precious promises of your holy scripture. Your word has birthed your divine nature in me as my “new” man, so now, I am a partaker of your eternal life and have escaped the corruption that is in the world.

This is all from your loving grace, and it moves me to be diligent to strengthen my faith; to add to my faith, virtue, and to virtue, knowledge, and to knowledge, temperance, and to temperance, perseverance, to perseverance, godliness, and to godliness, divine love for you, Father, and for my neighbors.

If I invest and nurture these things, if they abound in me, then I will never be barren or unfruitful.
