John 9&10

One thing I know is once I was blind but now by your grace, father, I see. Jesus opened my eyes and I am his disciple. Lord Jesus, I believe and I worship you. I know your voice and I follow you.  I enter the father’s kingdom through you, Lord Jesus, and I am saved. There is a thief who steals, kills and destroys, but you are my Lord and Savior; you give me life and give it abundantly.  You are mine and I am yours. I hear your voice; you know me; you chose me, and I follow you.

You give me eternal life, Lord Jesus, and I will never perish, and no one nor nothing can snatch me out of your hand. The father, who is greater than all, has given me to you, Lord Jesus, and no one is able to snatch me out of the father’s hand. You and the father are one.

Romans 6

Hallelujah. Thank you, father, that today I am dead to sin and alive to you, father, in Jesus Christ. I have been baptized into Christ Jesus; baptized into his death.  I am buried, therefore, with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by your glory, father, so I had too walk in newness of life.  For, since I have been united with him in death like his, I am certainly united with him in a resurrection like he is.

My old self is crucified with Jesus, the Christ, in order that this body of sin be brought to nothing thereby I am no longer enslaved to sin. I have died in Christ and I believe I now live with him.  Christ being raised from the dead will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God.  Today in Christ I live to you, father.

Acts 10

Among those that are his, God shows no partiality of a race, age, gender, etc. Anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him. Lord, you send your word, your good news of peace with God through the Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of all.  You anointed Jesus with your Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good and healing those who were oppressed for you, heavenly father, were with him.  Man put him to death on the cross but you,father, raised him on the third day and made him to appear not to all but to those whom you have chosen; those who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.

Now you have commanded us to preach and teach and to testify that Jesus is the one appointed by you, father; that Jesus is the Messiah. Everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through faith in Jesus as your Messiah.  The gift of God the Spirit is poured out on all who believe in him.

John 8, Luke 10, Ps 37, James 1, I Peter 5, Matthew 11, Rom. 8, Matt 5

Lord, I remain in your word and your word abides in me. I am your disciple. I know the truth and the truth has set free. Today I sit at your feet and listen to your word. I trust you and commit my ways to you. You do good for me. I delight myself in you and you set the desires of my heart – my transformed heart.  I am still before you and I wait patiently on you. I do not fret over what others have or over what the evil do. I refrain from anger and I forsake wrath. I do not fret about stuff.  I roll my anxieties onto you, Lord for you care for me.

With meekness I am slow to speak and quick to listen. I am teachable. I come to you today, Lord Jesus. I take your yoke upon me and learn from you for you are meek and lowly in heart, and I find rest for my soul, for your yoke is easy and your burden is light.  I am a joint heir with you, Lord Jesus. I inherit the earth. No good thing does God the father withhold from me.

2 Tim 1, Eph 1&2

Thank you, father God, that you have saved me and called me to a holy calling, not because of my works but for your own purpose and grace. Thank you for adopting me and redeeming me. Thank you that by your grace I am your workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works that you ordained before hand that I would walk in.  I am yours and have been yours since before the foundation of the world.

Your grace and power, father, have been manifest through the appearing of my savior, Christ Jesus, who has abolished death and brought life in immortality to light through the gospel.  I believe the gospel. I am not ashamed for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that you, Lord, are able to guard until that day what you have entrusted to me.  Faith and love are in Jesus Christ and Christ dwells in me by the Holy Spirit.

Eph 1 & Heb 13

Blessed be you, my heavenly father, the God and father of my Lord Jesus, the Christ. You have blessed me in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. You chose me in Christ before the foundation of the world, that I should be holy and blameless before you.  In love you pre-destined me for adoption as a son of yours through Jesus Christ, according to your will, to the praise of your glorious grace with which you have blessed me in the beloved.

In Christ, I have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of my trespasses, according to the riches of your grace which you have lavished on me in all wisdom and insight making known to me the mystery of your will. Today, Lord, equip me with everything good that I may do your will. Work in me that which is pleasing in your sight through Jesus Christ. To him be glory forever and ever.

Psalms 91&95 & Ish. 26

Lord, you are my dwelling place. You, most high God, are my refuge. You command your angels concerning me. You guard me in all my ways.  I hold fast to you in love, father, and you deliver me. I know you, Lord, and you protect me. When I call on you, you answer me.  You protect me from evil and no plague can come near my tent. You are with me in troubled times. You rescue me and you honor me.

Thank you, father, for your steadfast love and divine presence and power. You satisfy me with long life and you show me and fill me with your salvation. I worship you, Lord, and bow down before you.  You are my maker. You are my God. I am your son and a sheep of your hand. You keep me in perfect peace because my mind is stayed on you.

Psalms 63&27

Good and great God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you as if in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water. I look upon you in your sanctuary and behold your power and glory. Your steadfast love is better than life and my lips praise you. I bless you, father, and in your name, I lift up my hands.

My soul is well fed by you and my mouth praises you with joyful lips. I remember you when I sleep and I meditate on you in the watches of the night. You are my help, Lord, and in the shadow of your wings I sing for joy.  My soul clings to you and your right hand upholds me. You, oh Lord, are my light and my salvation; you are the strong hold of my life; my heart shall not fear.  I dwell in you, Lord, all the days of my life.

I gaze upon your beauty and fellowship with you, holy spirit. You hide me in your shelter, you conceal me in your tent, you lift me high upon the rock. I sing and make melody to you, my God and my Lord.

Luke 12, John 3, Eph 2

I am in the kingdom of Almighty God who loves me, and everything is good. Even the darkness is light to God who is able and active to work out all things to suit his purpose.  His purpose is to glorify himself in his creation, and to redeem his own people out of a lost and contrary flock.

I am thankful that while I was dead in my trespasses and sins my heavenly father saw me and set up circumstances to hem me in. He brought life and light to my heart to detest what I had become and to desire what he would make of me. I was born again by the Holy Spirit and a new men moved into me and took charge of this fleshly vessel. The strength of my soul is increased and my heart is calmed and quieted before the Lord.  What a glorious exchange. Old for new, human for Divine, bondage to freedom, temporal for eternal, peace instead of furor.

Oh Lord, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit down and when I rise up. You discern my thoughts and you are acquainted with all my ways. You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand on me.  You are always with me and therefore, I am always with you. Your hand leads me and your right hand holds me. Even the darkness cannot hold me because darkness is not dark to you; the night is bright as day for darkness is light to you.

You formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful and I know that very well. I am not hidden from you.  You saw me, and everyone of the days you planned for me is written in your book. Search me, oh God, and know my heart. Try me and know my thoughts. See if there be any wicked way in me and lead me in the way everlasting.
