I Cor. 1

I give thanks always, father, for your grace that is given to me in Christ Jesus. I am enriched in every way in Jesus, the Christ; in all speech and knowledge. I am not lacking in any gift that you have for me, father.  Your spirit sustains me to the end, guiltless in the day of my Lord Jesus Christ. I was called into Christian fellowship by you, father, and you are faithful to keep me and guard me and guide and gift me.

I pray that we would have agreeable fellowship in all of your churches; that there would be no divisions but rather all the children of God would be united in the same mind and the same judgment.  The word of the cross is a folly to those that are perishing, but to your people it is the power of God.

Lamentations 3

Praise you, father! Your steadfast love never ceases. Your mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness to me, oh Lord. You are my portion. I hope in you, father, son and Holy Ghost. I wait up on you, and you are good to me. I seek you and you answer.  You show your self divine on my account.

You never cast me off, Lord. Sometimes there is grief but through every moment you have compassion for me according to your promises and according to the steadfast love you have for me; an abundant unconditional love.  You have a perfect, living love given to me through your grace, heavenly father. While I was still in sin and foolishness you loved me. Now that I am yours, you love me. Hallelujah!

Praise you, father. Thank you for the gift of your Holy Spirit; for him as my means of communion. Today I reckon I am dead indeed to sin and alive unto you, father, through Jesus Christ, my Lord.  Sin no longer reigns in my mortal body, for I am dead to my flesh and alive in the spirit of God. God the Spirit leads me.  Through the spirit I know the love of God. I see the divine benefits that are mine.

It is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me, and this life I live today I live with the faith of the Lord Jesus who loves me and gave himself for me.  By god’s grace and your presence in me, Holy Spirit, I am dead to the law of sin and death and alive in the fullness of God. I am raised from the dead and able to bring forth fruit. The fruit of the Spirit of God.

Lord Jesus,  I believe you! You are the son of God. I have seen you move in the events of my life; I have fellowshipped with your Holy Spirit. I don’t know everything, but I do know you.  Today I bow before you. I am yours, oh lord. Fill me and take charge of me today that my every thought would agree with you and that every word I utter would be your word.

Thank you, Lord, for your correction and your encouragement. You deal bountifully with me. I know it and I appreciate it. Today is the day you have made. I am glad and I rejoice in that.  Another day in your kingdom! The kingdom of light in the midst of much darkness and deception.

Lord, today I keep my eyes on you and on your promises. You are God of heaven above and earth below and there is no other! I acknowledge that and take heart in it. I cast my life upon you. I have a life because,in your love and by your grace, you have given me a real life.  I cast my family on you; knowing that you care for us and have included us in Christ since before the foundation of the world.

In all the issues of life ahead of us Jesus is Lord and God the father is sovereign and alive and active. I count it all joy when I deal with diverse temptations for I know that the trying of my faith works patience and patience will have her perfect work.  In all of that, I will be perfect and entire, wanting in nothing. Fill me with your wisdom for the day, father.

Rev. 3; Eph. 3; John 14; Romans 8

Lord Jesus, I love you and belong to you. I listen to your reproof and I welcome your discipline. I am zealous to be yours, and quick to repent. My heart is open to you. I keep my eyes on you and your word, and you and the father love me and come and make your abode with me.  In you, Lord Jesus, I am more than a conqueror for you conquered and you invite me to sit with you on your throne.

You, Lord Jesus, are my riches. Your righteousness is my new garment, and by your grace I can see spiritual things!  I am strengthened with power through your Spirit in my inner being so that you, Lord Jesus, dwell in my heart through faith. I am rooted and grounded in love. I am filled with all the fullness of God!

I Cor. 1; I Thes. 5; Jude

You are faithful, heavenly father, and you have called me into the fellowship of your son, Jesus, the Christ, my Lord. You sustain me to the end guiltless before you in Christ.

You, heavenly father, the God of peace, sanctify me completely and keep my whole spirit and soul and body blameless at the coming of my Lord Jesus, the Christ. You are faithful and you do surely do it!  Your grace, father, is with me. I am yours, oh Lord. I have heard your call. I am beloved by you, my heavenly father, and kept for Jesus Christ.  Mercy, peace, and love are multiplied to me!

Lord, I pray today that I would wax strong in your spirit. Fill me, Holy Spirit and take charge of my every move, my every thought, and my every word. Fill me today with the wisdom of God; with divine wisdom, and prudence to live in that wisdom. So that today I will know everything I need to know, and have the courage and strength and mercy and kindness to do exactly what I know to do.

Father, thank you for your grace. I stand in your grace; past, present and future grace. I know you have it all covered. I acknowledge that you are the lord of my life and the Lord of the enterprises I am involved in. I look forward in faith and awestruck joy to how you will complete each chapter and episode of this lifelong adventure.

Blessed be the Lord God, for he dwells with me, and he has redeemed me. He has given me salvation through Jesus, my Lord, and raised me up with Christ Jesus.  My God has had mercy on me and loves me with a steadfast love; a love that is eternal and spawned by divine grace! I serve my Lord in perfect love without fear.  I serve him in holiness and righteousness because God, the spirit, fills me and leads me. God’s Spirit is perfect, entire and holy. Jesus has become my righteousness!

God has given the light to me when once I sat in darkness. He has let me see and touch and taste his salvation, and I know that it is good.  God is good in every way; greater than any and all things the world offers. My soul is saved by the Lord and my soul is set on the Lord. He is the Lord of my life and there is no other!

Jesus splits humanity according to what we love. “The light has come into the world, and people love darkness rather than light”. The righteous and the wicked are separated by what they delight in, that is: the revelation of God or the way of the world.

“Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law.” Ps119:18

Your word is alive, oh Lord! Your word dwells in me today and fills me and converts me and leads me in paths of righteousness. I continue in your word.
