Hebrews 12 & 13

By your grace and mercy, Father, I have come to Mount Zion and into your city, the heavenly Jerusalem. I praise and honor you with an innumerable company of angels. I worship you in the general assembly as one of the church of Jesus, your Christ.

I am registered to you, Father, in heaven. I am bought with the blood of Jesus. He is my mediator and advocate. I accept your gift of salvation with joy and perseverance.

You are shaking all things, Father, that only the things which cannot be shaken will remain. Therefore, through Christ Jesus, I am receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken. Thankful for your grace, I serve you in reverence and godly fear. You, my great God, are a consuming fire.

Thank you, Lord Jesus, that you are with me always. You will never leave me or forsake me. You are my helper, and I do not fear. Nothing can stop your work in me, your redemption of me. 

Hebrews 12

I love you, Father, and I am encouraged because you deal with me as your child. You have chastened me and rebuked me as a perfect father. You have pruned me and taught me and perfected me that I might be of use to you and a partaker of your holiness. Your love and attention to me, has trained me in your truth and yielded the peaceable fruit of righteousness in me, and in my small part of your kingdom.

Therefore, I lift up my hands, and I stand firm. I walk in a straight path following you, Lord Jesus. I pursue peace with all people. I revel in holiness. I am filled with grace and quick to forgive so no root of bitterness springs up in me.

I am lead by your Holy Spirit, Father, and I am dead to fleshy, profane lust. I have my eyes on the Lord Jesus. I long for him to write every paragraph of my life story.

He endured fleshly suffering by looking ahead to the joy of obedience and holiness. He knew the infinite value of obeying you, Father. He witnesses that encouragement to me now. 

Hebrews 7

Lord Jesus, I have come to God, our father, through you, through your life, and your witness, and your word. You have saved me to the uttermost. You are my high priest, holy, harmless, and undefiled, and you are always making intercession for me.

With your own blood, you entered the most holy place once for all, and you obtained eternal redemption for all who are yours.

Your sacrifice, Lord, has cleansed me, and set me up to serve the living God. You entered the holy place in heaven, to appear in the presence of God, our father, on my behalf. You put away sin by the sacrifice of yourself. Now I eagerly await your appearing a second time, not for sin, but with the fullness of salvation.

I am sanctified through the offering of your body, Lord Jesus, once and forever. Your Holy Spirit witnesses to me of the truth and power and perfection of the salvation you have obtained for me.

You have put your words in my head and written them on my heart. My sins and lawless deeds you remember no more. Therefore, with boldness and joy, I can enter the holiest place in you, Christ Jesus, and I can commune with you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, in full assurance of love, of peace, of joy, and of truth. 

Hebrews 8

Now the main point is that I have a great, eternal, divine, high priest, who is seated at your right hand, Father, seated with you on your majestic throne in the heavens. My Lord Jesus is the minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle, which you, Father, erected and not man.

My Lord does not serve the copy and shadow of heavenly things as Moses did, but you, Lord Jesus, have obtained the excellent ministry, in as much as you are the mediator of a better covenant, which is established on better promises.

Father, you have put your laws in my mind and written them on my heart. You are my God, and I am your child. You are merciful to my unrighteousness and to my sin. You do not hold my lawlessness against me. Thank you for your love and mercy and redemption, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Hebrews 8,7&6; 1 Peter 1

I have a great high priest, Jesus Christ. He is seated at the right hand of your throne, Father, you, the majesty of heaven. Jesus is the minister of the Sanctuary and of the True Tabernacle, which you erected.

Lord Jesus, you are the surety of a better covenant. You are the mediator of that covenant which is established on better promises.

I have come to God, our father, through faith in you, Lord Jesus, as my Lord, and as the Messiah, and you have saved me to the uttermost.

By grace through faith in you, Lord Jesus, I am a part taker of the Holy Spirit of God. I am born from above by your word, the incorruptible seed. I follow you diligently in full assurance of the perfect hope I have in you, Father, through faith in Christ Jesus, my high priest.

I have fled to Christ as my savior and laid hold of the hope you have told me about and shown to me. This hope is an anchor to my soul. It is sure and steadfast. It holds me in your presence beyond the veil of the flesh, and into real, living, eternal, communion with you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Hebrews 5; John 8; Hebrews 5 & 6

Lord Jesus, you are my great high priest. You have passed through the heavens. I confess with joy that you are the son of God. You were tempted in all ways as I was, and yet were without sin. You are able to empathize with me and my weak past.

Now, though, through and by and with you, Lord Jesus, I am able to come, boldly to the throne of grace, and there I receive mercy and find grace to help in all my needs.

Lord Jesus, you are the author of my salvation. You learned obedience through the things you suffered. Now, with you as my high priest, and my very life, I prove my obedience in the things I suffer.

I continue diligently in your word, Lord. I am your disciple. I know the truth, and you have set me free. I feed on your solid food. I am of full age. By your word and indwelling Holy Spirit, my senses are exercised to discern both good and evil. With you, Lord Jesus, in peace and sure hope, I go on to perfection.

1 Timothy 1; 2 Corinthians 10; Ephesians 5

Thank you, Father, my King Eternal, glory and honor to you forever and ever. I am filled with your word, Father, and by your living word, I wage good warfare. You guide me and guard me, Lord, with mighty weapons, weapons of spiritual warfare.

With your power and truth, I pull down strong holds. I cast down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge you give me, Father, of your grace and redemption. Now I take every thought into captivity and make them obedient to your truth. I hack at any disobedient urge that approaches me. I glory in you, Lord, and in your blessed work in me.

Through your word and communion with you, Holy Spirit, I understand what the will of God, our father, is for me. I am filled and led by God‘s Spirit. I speak in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs. I sing and make melody in my heart to you, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, giving thanks always for all the living glory you have put into my life.

Hebrews 4; Matthew 11

Thank you, Lord Jesus, you are my great high priest. You have passed through the heavens. You are our father’s only begotten son. I hold to my confession that you are the Christ, the son of the living God.

You know me, Lord Jesus. You have lived in the flesh. You know the temptations of this world. You understand me and empathize with me. You know my weaknesses, but in you and through you, I can now live in truth.

I know I can come boldly to your throne of grace, and there I always find your mercy and grace. You help me, Lord, in all my needs.

Thank you, Lord, that there is a rest for me. I come unto you, Lord Jesus, and you give me rest. I take your yoke upon me, and I learn from you. You are meek and lowly, and I find rest for my soul. Your yoke is easy, and your burden is light. I know God, my father, through you, Lord Jesus. Thank you.

2 Samuel 22; 2 Corinthians 5

Lord Jesus, you are my rock and my fortress, and my deliverer. You are my strength, and I trust in you. You are my shield and the horn of my salvation. You are my stronghold and my refuge. You saved me, Lord Jesus, from my violent selfishness.

I call upon you, Lord, and you save me from bondage and death. You are worthy of praise and worship.

In this world, waves of death and ungodliness surround me. There is sorrow and loss of loved ones and the snares of deceivers. I cry out to you, and you hear me. You fill me as your temple with your Holy Spirit, and so am I always in communion with you and never alone or forsaken.

By your grace and love, you chose me and called me. You picked me out of the multitude and delivered me from the evil one. Sin and the devil were too strong for me, but by you and with you, I am delivered from bondage to sin and born from above, by your spirit, with your nature.

I am in Christ, and I am a new creation. The old things have passed away, and behold, everything about me now is new and divine. Thank you, great God, Almighty. 

Hebrews 3; 2 Peter 1; Ephesians 2; Psalm 23; Hebrews 2

Lord Jesus, you are the merciful and faithful high priest in all things pertaining to God. In you, Lord, I have all things pertaining to life and godliness.

Lord, you are the son over your own house, and I belong to you. I am one of your household, and I dwell in your house forever. I hold fast to you, as my Lord and the Captain of my salvation, with confidence and joy.

I hear your voice, and my heart is soft to your word. I know your ways, and I love to obey your commands. I live day by day, and moment by moment, in your rest.

By your grace and indwelling spirit, I have a new heart, a sweet, believing heart. I am a partaker of you, Christ Jesus. I hear your voice, and I am led by you with confidence and joy.
