2 Thessalonians 1&2

Thank you, Father, that you count me worthy of your calling, and you work your goodness into me and out of me, for your good pleasure. I live in faith by communion with the power and person of your Holy Spirit, who dwells in me. In that way, you, Father, glorify the Lord Jesus through my life.

Now concerning the coming of the Lord Jesus, that day does not come until there is a huge falling away, and the man of sin revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself against all that is you, Heavenly Father.

The mystery of this lawlessness is already at work, but you restrain it, according to your pleasure, but at some point, you will withdraw your restraining power, and then the lawless one will be revealed.

The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish. They refuse the love of the truth by which they might be saved.

For this reason, you send them a strong delusion that they believe the lie and are condemned because they did not believe, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

1 Thessalonians 5

Thank you, Lord Jesus, that your grace is with me, and by your grace and presence dwelling in me, I know some thing’s as you give me sight and understanding. I know that your day will come like a thief in the night.

The world system will be saying,“peace and safety”, and our father will decree sudden destruction, but by your grace and scripture, I am not in darkness. That day shall not overtake me as a shock, because you have made me a child of light, a child of the day.

So, I stay awake, and I take my life from you, Father, seriously. I guard my heart, with your promise of love, through faith in all you say and do in me.

Father, my mind stays on the hope I have in my salvation by Jesus Christ. I am comforted and built up in faith and peace, because I know that whether awake or asleep, I live together with your people and with my Lord Jesus, now and forever.

1 Thessalonians 4

I thank you, Father, that it is your will that I am sanctified and that I continue to be sanctified day by day. As you mature me in my faith, I know how to possess my own vessel in sanctification and honor, and not in the passion of lust

For you, Lord, did not call me to uncleaness, but to holiness. You have given me your Holy Spirit to work out this holiness, and I am joyfully surrendered to your will and work in me. My goal, Lord, is to serve and obey you.

I aspire to lead a quiet life and to mind my own business, and to work with joy with my hands. In this way, I walk properly with all who are around me, and I lack nothing in my life.

By your word, and through your spirit, Lord, I know that, at the Father’s appointed time, you, Lord Jesus, will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God.

Then the dead in Christ will rise, and all who are alive and remain, will be caught up in the clouds, and we will all meet you in the air, Lord Jesus. And from then on, we will always be with you. 

1 Thessalonians 1; Colossians 4; 1 Thessalonians 2

Thank you, Father, for opening my eyes and my heart to your truth and to my desperate need for salvation. Your gospel has come to me in word and power and in the presence of your Holy Spirit.

You work in my will and in my ability. I walk in faith and in the work you have for me. It is a labor love from you and through me and back to you. All my life is now lived in the patience of hope in my Lord Jesus Christ and in your sight, Heavenly Father.

I continue earnestly in prayer. I am vigilant, and I abound in thanksgiving. I walk in wisdom toward those who are outside. I make good use of the time. I speak with your grace, seasoned with salt, as I answer each one who asks the reason for the divine hope that is in me.

By your work for me and in me, Lord Jesus, I stand perfect and complete in the will of God, our father. He has called me into his kingdom for his glory, and by his grace and person in me, I walk worthy of all that call.

1 Timothy 6; Colossians 3

Hallelujah, Lord, today fed with your word and led by your Holy Spirit, I pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and gentleness. I trust in you, Father, and you give me richly all things to enjoy. Your peace rules in my heart.

The word of Christ dwells in me richly in all wisdom. Your word, Lord, teaches and admonishes me in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs. I sing to you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, with grace in my heart.

Whatever I do today, in word or deed, I do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, and I give thanks to you, my Heavenly Father, through him. Whatever I do, I do it hardly unto you, Lord, knowing that from you, I receive the reward of your inheritance, for I serve you, Lord Jesus, my savior and the Father‘s Messiah.

Colossians 1

Thank you, Father, that by your grace and with your Holy Spirit, I am filled with the knowledge of your will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. Today I walk worthy of you, Lord, and I am fully pleasing and fruitful in every good work.

Your Holy Spirit shows me more about you, and we commune together, and my knowledge of you, Father, increases, and my faith is strengthened.

Your might and power fill me in the person of your Holy Spirit, and I bear your fruit. I am patient with joy. I abound in thanksgiving and live in peace.

I am a partaker of the inheritance of the saints in light. You have delivered me from darkness, Father, and conveyed me into the kingdom of your son, my Lord Jesus. In him, I have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sin.

He has reconciled me to you, Father, in the body of his flesh through death, and now, he presents me holy and blameless and above reproach to you. I stand solid and grounded in this glorious hope, reconciled to you, Father, through the gospel of Christ!! 

Ephesians 2; 2 Timothy 2; Ephesians 2

Good morning, Father, today I am humble before you. I look out not only for my interest, but for the interest of others. By your presence in me, Holy Spirit, I have the mind which was also in Christ Jesus.

He made himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bond servant and coming in the likeness of man. He humbled himself even to the point of death, and you, my Heavenly Father, highly exalted him, and have given him the name which is above every name.

At the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the Earth, and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to your glory, Father.

My proper and accurate relation to you, Lord Jesus, is all that really matters, so I take my salvation very seriously. I study to show myself approved and living in correct doctrine, and I seek you in every thought and decision.

You work out everything in my life, both my will, and my ability to work your work in a way that pleases you. I rest in that surety, and I rejoice in peace. 

Romans 12; Philippians 1

Thank you, Father. I am transformed as you have renewed my mind with your word and by the power and presence of your Holy Spirit, who dwells in me. Now my new man and my new mind flourish in me just as in Christ Jesus

I am confident that you, Father, will complete the work you have begun in me. I am a partaker of your grace, just like the Apostles. I pray that your love will fill me and that, by your divine presence, my love will perfect and abound in knowledge and discernment.

I will live in ways that are excellent. I will live sincerely and without offense. I am filled with the fruit of Christ’s righteousness all the days of my life here on earth to your glory and praise, Lord, and for my good and joy.

All the events in my life have been used by you, Father, to further your gospel in me. In confidence, I pray that I will be bold to speak your word to those who ask and seek. I pray that my life now, in every way, would speak and witness to the truth of Christ Jesus! 

Ephesians 5&6

Lord Jesus, you have loved me, and you have given yourself for me. Now I walk in the light, for you are the light of men, Lord. You are the true light. You shine in the darkness, and for all who are yours, the light prevails. Those who are not called by you do not comprehend the light.

Now I seek you, Lord, and your ways. I want to live a life acceptable and pleasing to you. I understand what your will for me is. I am filled with your spirit.

I speak out to all in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs. I make melody in my heart to you, Lord, giving thanks always, for all things, to God, our father, in your name, Lord Jesus.

I love my wife, as you, Lord, are my example of love. I give myself for her. We live together in your word, and she grows strong and sweet in your spirit. I want to be all she needs in a husband. Make that so, Holy Spirit.

Now, I stand strong in you, Lord, and in the power and presence of you, Holy Spirit, as you dwell in me and lead me in truth, faith, and righteousness. I am covered by the armor of God, our father, and I am able to withstand in the evil day and do all you have for me to do Lord. I can stand. 

Ephesians 4; Romans 8; Ephesians 4

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for your ministry gifts to those who minister to your body, the church, so that all who are in your body would be edified, that we would come to a unity of the faith and knowledge of the “true” Jesus.

Through your ministry gifts, I am perfected toward the measure of your character, Lord Jesus. By your spirit and your word, I am conformed to the image of you, my Lord Jesus Christ.

Now I am no longer a child tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine and by the trickery of man. No, now I speak the truth in love, and I grow up daily in all the fullness of your lordship, Lord Jesus.

I am joined together, by the Holy Spirit, with other believers, and we are knit together in a body that serves you, and grows and strengthens itself in love.

I know you, Lord Jesus, and your grace has taught me to put off, constantly, my old man, who is corrupt and lustful, and to be renewed, moment by moment, in the spirit of my mind, and then to put on my new man, born from above; a man who is created, according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.
