Acts 28; Romans 1; John 1&14

Holy Spirit, fill me today. See that I hear your word and that I understand it. Let me see the Father’s salvation and perceive it. My heart is tender to you, Lord, and excited to commune with you. My ears hear you, your encouragement and your correction.

My eyes are open, and I see you active and faithful in every detail of my life. My heart is tuned perfectly to you, and you have healed me.

I love your gospel, Lord, and I am proud of it, because it is your power to salvation to everyone who believes. Your righteousness is revealed through your gospel, Lord.

Now I know that I live by faith.

Faith that Jesus is your Messiah, and that you raised him from the dead, and that now he is my Lord and Savior, my deliverer and friend. Christ Jesus is life and light in me forever!

Acts 2; Romans 15

Father, I know you have made Jesus both Lord and Christ. You raised him from the dead and exalted him, Lord and Savior, and now he is seated at your right hand. Now he pours your Holy Spirit out, from you, into my heart with love.

I have seen the light of the Lord and believe he is your Christ. He has granted me repentance and called me into your glorious kingdom.

By your grace, and Jesus’ sacrifice, my sins are forgiven, and I am in Christ, and Christ is in me. I am saved from this perverse and lost world.

My heart rejoices, and my tongue is glad. My flesh rests in hope because you, Father, the God of Hope, fill me with joy and peace through faith. Now, empowered and encouraged, by the presence and person of your Holy Spirit, I abound in hope. 

1 Chronicles 29; Ephesians 2&1; 1 Corinthians 6

Bless you, Lord God, my father, forever and ever.

You and all that is yours is greatness. You are all powerful and glorious. All of heaven and earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, oh Lord, and you are exalted as head overall.

Riches and honor come from you, and you reign overall. In your hand is power and might. You make your people great, and you give strength to all of us.

Therefore, Father, I abound in thanksgiving to you. I praise your glorious name. Even my will and strength to praise you comes from you, for all things good come from you to me through your word and your Holy Spirit.

For now, by grace through faith in Christ Jesus, I have been born from above. I am saved. I am included in Christ and sealed by your Holy Spirit until your day of redemption. I belong to you, Father, and I am glad of that.

Luke 4; Isaiah 61

Thank you, Lord Jesus, that your spirit is upon me and dwells in me. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for your living communion with me. You fill me, and you lead me.

You anoint me, and I hear your gospel, and I believe it, and I understand it. Your word has become life, eternal life, in me.

You comfort me, and you heal my broken heart. I was captive to lust and selfishness, and you have proclaimed liberty to me.

I was blind to your fullness and joy, but you opened my eyes, and now, I have my sight. I was bogged down with regret and self centered impatience, and now, you have set me free from my past and from myself.

You show me our father’s perfect timing and faithfulness, and I am content.

I rejoice in you, Lord. My soul is joyful in you, my God. You have clothed me with the garments of salvation. You have covered me with the robe of righteousness. By your grace, everlasting joy is mine. Praise you and thank you. 

Luke 1; John 1; Romans; Ephesians 2; Luke 1

Bless you, Lord God. You dwell in and among each of your people. You have redeemed us. You raised up Jesus, the man of our salvation.

He is your word, and he spoke your word. He took on flesh and dwelt among us. He lived a life without sin and became the righteousness of God for me. He offered his life upon the cross as a full sacrifice and payment for all my sins.

Now, by your grace, Father, through faith in Christ’s complete and completed work, I am saved. I am saved from the hands of your enemies, Lord, and from those who hate you and your truth.

You are merciful to me, Lord, and you keep your covenant perfectly and in love.

I am delivered from bondage to sin and death so that I can serve you without fear. Now I live in holiness and righteousness before you all the days of my life.

Now I am your child. I go with you to give the word of salvation to your people. I reflect your light to those who sit in darkness and under the shadow of death. You use me to guide them to the way of peace. 

Ephesians 4

Thank you, Father, for the gift of faith, and for the knowledge of the Lord Jesus. Thank you, that I know of him, but also, much better, I know him personally by his spirit who lives in me and communes with me day by day and thought by thought.

You have changed me by renewing my mind and by perfecting me in accord with the character of my Lord Jesus. I am no longer a child cared about by every wind of doctrine, nor am I tossed about by the foolishness and trickery of men.

Instead, I live with you, Lord, in truth. I grow up in you, and I am knit together in your body, the church.

I ceaselessly put off my old man, and I am renewed moment by moment in the spirit of my mind. I put on the new man who is created in accord with your will. I live in true righteousness and holiness. 

Psalm 19

Heavenly Father, the heavens declare your glory. The earth shows your handiwork. Each day and night utter your words.

Your law, oh Lord, is perfect. It has converted my soul. Your testimony is sure and has made me wise. Your statutes are right and give me joy. Your commandments are pure and enlighten me.

The fear I have for you, Father, is clean and eternal. Your judgments are true and righteous all together. Your grace has warned me and taught me. Obeying you, Father, is great reward

You cleanse me of my faults. Your indwelling Holy Spirit keeps me from presumptuous sins. Foolishness does not have dominion over me. In Christ, I am blameless and innocent of transgressions.

The words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart are acceptable in your sight, Father. You are my strength and my redeemer.

Hebrews 13; 1 Corinthians 6; Romans 10

Heavenly Father, you are the God of Peace. You brought up my Lord Jesus from the dead, and now he is my great Shepherd, and I am kept and guarded by him.

Jesus is my Lord. He has bought me with a precious price, and I belong to him. I am no longer my own, but now, hallelujah, I belong to you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

You have made an everlasting promise to save me and to hold me forever, and you sealed that promise with your blood.

Now, Lord, work in me to make me complete in every good work to do your will. Work in me what is well pleasing in your sight. I ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior, who is glory forever and ever. 

Psalm 119

My heart stands in awe of your word, Father. I rejoice at your word. I love your law, and I am filled with great peace, and nothing causes me to stumble.

I live in hope because of your salvation, Father. My soul keeps your testimonies. I love them exceedingly. I keep your precepts, and all my ways are open before you.

Your word gives me understanding, and I am delivered according to your word. You, Holy Spirit, teach me the word, and my soul lives because of your life dwelling in me.

I live, and I praise you. I delight in your law. Long ago, I had wandered off, but now, Father, your word and your spirit have brought me back to you. 

Matthew 6; Colossians 1

Thank you, Father, that I am on your mind and heart. You have me covered. You know the things I have need of even before I ask you. Therefore, I do not worry about my life. I am in your kingdom, Lord. You are the power and the glory.

I have been born from above, and you, Father, are my God, and Jesus is my master. Now my life belongs to you, and my life is more than food and clothing.

My treasure is in heaven with you, Father. I am filled with the knowledge of your will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. Thereby, I am enabled to walk worthy of you, Lord Jesus, fully pleasing to you and fruitful in every good work and increasing in my knowledge of you, Father.

I am strengthened with your might, Father, in accord with your glorious power, for all patience and long suffering with joy. I give thanks to you, Father, that you have qualified me to be a partaker of the inheritance of the Saints in light. You have delivered me from the power of darkness and conveyed me into the kingdom of the son of your love.
