Luke 11; Romans 8; Galatians 5

Holy Spirit, cleanse my inward parts. I hear your word, and I obey it. I do not need a sign because I have your witness to me through your presence in me.

Today, I am led by you, Holy Spirit, and I am free of the law of sin and death. I have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. I live in you, Holy Spirit, and I walk in you, day by day, moment by moment.

I commune with you, Holy Spirit, and the Father knows me and hears me. I ask, and it is given to me. I seek, and I find. I knock, and the door is opened to me.

Father, you love me with a perfect love, and you give me your Holy Spirit.

Holy Spirit, you fill me with eternal life. By you, I am born from above. You dwell in me. You teach me and comfort me. You show me Christ Jesus and make his word alive in me. By your presence, I am saved. I am kept. I am converted. I am perfected by the Father‘s perfection!

Luke 9; Matthew 3; Romans 12; Luke 9

Lord Jesus, you are the Christ of God. I receive you as my Lord and my Savior. I come after you. I deny myself, and I take up my cross daily, and I am led by your Holy Spirit and every word that proceeds from the mouth of God, our father.

I give my life as a living sacrifice, humbled by your mercies to me, Father, and you transform me by renewing my mind and perfecting my heart, day by day and thought by thought.

I have put my hands on your gospel plow, and I look forward to you, Lord Jesus. By your grace and indwelling spirit, I move out. I preach and live your salvation and the kingdom of God, our father.

1 Peter 1; Romans 12

Good morning, Father! Today I gird up the loins of my mind. I am sober, and I rest my hope fully upon the grace that is mine by the revelation of and the communion with you, Lord Jesus.

I rejoice greatly, even though sometimes I am grieved by various trials, but I know these test the genuineness of my faith. I pray my faith, be strong and precious, and be found to praise and honor and glorify you, Lord Jesus.

Thank you, Father, that, in your abundant mercy, you called me and chose me. Then you begot me again to a living hope through the resurrection of my Lord Jesus from the dead.

You included me into an inheritance, incorruptible and undefiled, that does not fade away, and that is kept for me in heaven. Hallelujah!

I rejoice in hope. I am patient in tribulation, and I am ceaseless in prayer. 

Hebrews 6; Luke 6

Lord Jesus, my faith in your propitiation is a sure and steadfast anchor for my soul. Your life and sacrifice and resurrection, hold me fast in the very presence of God, our father. You have entered the holiest place behind the veil, and you have taken me with you. You are my perfect high priest forever.

God, our father, is just and merciful. He sets forth and moves in my work and labor of love. In your name, Father, and led by your sweet Holy Spirit, I have ministered, and I do minister to your saints. I am not sluggish, instead I am diligent to commune with you in spirit and in truth and to live in the assurance of hope until you call me home. So, by your grace, Father, I go on to perfection in Christ Jesus.

Lord Jesus, you are the Lord of my life. I do the things you say. I come to you, and I stay in your word and in communion with your spirit. I dig down deep, and I lay a foundation on you, Lord, as my rock. Floods and trials come and beat against my faith, but it cannot be shaken, because it is founded on you, Lord Jesus. You are the rock of my foundation.

Psalm 71; 1 Corinthians 1; Romans 3,5,6,8, & 10

Father, hallelujah, my mouth tells of your righteousness, and I revel in your salvation all the day.

You have taught me from my youth, and I always declare your wondrous work. Now as I am older and grey headed, you stay with me. You fill me with wisdom, righteousness, redemption, and sanctification so that I may declare your strength to this generation and tell of your power to all who come to listen.

I have sinned and fallen short of your glory, Father, but you have provided a righteousness for me apart from obeying the law. You have given me righteousness through faith in Jesus as your Messiah and my savior.

You showed me your love for me in that, even while I was lost in sin and self, Christ died for me. The wages for my sin was death, but you, Father, through Christ Jesus, as my Lord, gave me the gift of eternal life.

Now, because I am in Christ, there is no longer condemnation for me. The law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has sent me free from the law of sin and death.

Now I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord, and I know you, Father, raised Christ Jesus from the dead, and so, I know I am saved. 

2 Timothy 2; John 6; 2 Timothy 2&3

Good morning, Father, today I am diligent to present myself to you as a worker who need not be ashamed, one who has studied your word and communed with your Holy Spirit. A person who can rightly divide and understand and be matured by your word of truth.

I shun profane and idle babblings. They just lead to ungodliness and confusion. They waste time and overthrow faith.

You are almighty and sovereign, Father, and I live in faith on that foundation. You know those who are yours. Everyone who is yours, will come to faith and surrender to Jesus, and our Lord Jesus will cast none of them out. All who were yours will depart from iniquity.

In your kingdom, there are people with all kinds of past and potential. Some live honorably, others dishonorably. But all those who are yours, Father, will be cleansed and become honorable and useful to you in every good work.

Our past, even if nasty and lost, does not stop us if we are chosen by you, because you are our redeemer. You bring us to our senses. You grant us repentance, and you bring us to new life. We become your people, complete and thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Psalm 36&37

Dear God, your loving kindness is precious. All of us who are yours put our trust under the shadow of your wings. We are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of your house. You give us to drink from the river of your pleasures for you have the fountain of life, in your light, we see light.

I trust in you, Father, and your good spirit works within me. I dwell where you have planted me, and I feed on your word and commune with your spirit. I delight myself in your salvation and gospel, and you give me the desires of my new born heart.

I commit my life to you, Father, day by day, and I trust in you. You bring forth your kingdom in me. You clothe me with the righteousness of Jesus, your Christ and my Lord. Your mercy and truth shine in me and for me, like a bright noonday light.

I rest in you, Lord, and I live in patient hope, with joy inexpressible and full of your glory. I have ceased from anger, and I have forsaken wrath. Now, hallelujah, and forever, I do not fret.

Psalm 33

I rejoice in you, Father. I praise you with melody and song. I sing a new song, and I shout for joy.

Your word, oh Lord, is right. You are all truth. You love righteousness and justice. The earth is full of your goodness.

The heavens were made by your word and all things by the breath of your mouth. Let the earth and all the inhabitants fear you and stand in awe of you.

Father, you have your eye on all of us who fear you, all of us who put our hope in your mercy.

You deliver my soul from death, and you feed me even in times of famine.

My soul is renewed and redeemed and joined with you now, Father. You are my life and my shield. My heart rejoices in you, and I trust in your holy name.

Your mercy is on me, and my hope is strong and sweet.

Psalm 2

The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take council together against you, Lord, and against your Anointed. The nations rage, and people plot vain things.

But you, Father, sit in heaven and laugh. You hold them in derision. You speak to them in your wrath. You torment them in your deep displeasure.

Now, for those who are yours, you have decreed salvation. You have sent your only begotten son, and you have given him the nations for an inheritance. All the earth is his possession. He will break the rebellious with a rod of iron. He will dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.

However, you, Lord, in mercy and love, have brought me to my senses. You have opened my eyes that I can see you as Almighty God, and you have granted me repentance, and a new heart for you.

Now I have wisdom to see things as you see them, Father. I learned from your teachers. I serve the Lord Jesus with reverent fear, and I rejoice with honor and thanksgiving to Jesus as my Lord and your Christ, Father. I am blessed because my trust is in you! 

Mark 12; Galatians 2; Mark 12

Father, in obedience to your word, I render unto the government and the custom around me those worldly things that are of the world, but to you, Lord, I give what is yours. I give my heart, my attention, my obedience. I give my trust and my needs to you, for you, Father, are God. You are the one, and there is no other.

Today, by your grace, filled with your word and led by your Holy Spirit, I love you with all my heart and mind and soul and strength, and I love my neighbor as myself. I don’t always do that perfectly, but I do it purposefully, and you, Lord Jesus, perfect me in it and advocate for me when I fail.

By your grace and mercy, I am your son, Father, and I am a part of your kingdom now and forever. I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless, I live, because now Christ lives in me and loves me. You, Father, are the God of the Living.
