Psalms 33 & 34

My soul waits on you, Lord. I sit with you and commune with you. I am joined with you, and by your spirit, I am one with you. You are my help, my savior, and my shield. My heart rejoices in you, Lord. I have full trust in you. Your mercy is upon me, and I am filled with a living hope.

Your angel encamps around me and guards and delivers me.

I bless you, Lord, all the time, and praise for you is continually on my lips. My whole soul boasts in you. You are Almighty, sovereign, and gracious beyond description. I exalt you.

I saw you, and you drew me to you. You saved me and delivered me from all my fears. Now you fill me and shine radiantly out of me.

You are good, Lord. I trust in you, and I am blessed. By your grace and provision, I lack no good thing.

1 Peter 1

By your grace and gift, Father, I have faith. I find that Jesus Christ has been revealed to me. I love him and hear him even though I have not seen him yet. But I believe, and so I rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, and I receive the end of my faith, the salvation of my soul.

I tighten up my thinking. I am sober. I rest my hope fully upon your grace, Father. Your grace has become obvious, plentiful, and real to me through the revelation of Jesus as your Messiah, and as my Lord and Savior.

My soul has been purified through belief in your gospel. I have been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through your word, Father. Your word now lives in me. Your word endures forever, and I abide in your word.

1 Peter 5; 1 Corinthians 6; Colossians 1; Galatians 5; 1 Peter 4; Ephesians 4; 1 Peter 3

Father, today I sanctify the Lord Jesus in my heart. I rejoice for the hope that is in me.

I belong to the Lord Jesus. He has bought me back from bondage with a precious price. Now he dwells in me forever through the Holy Spirit. I am led in every detail, decision, and thought by your very Spirit, Father.

I am always ready to share your gospel, with gentleness and respect, to anyone who asks.

I reckon myself dead to my old man and born from above with my new man. I no longer live my life in this flesh in the lust of men. I spent too much time in my past doing that. Now I live in accord with your Spirit, Father.

I am serious and watchful in my prayers. I am fervent in my love for others. I am hospitable. I do not grumble. When I speak, I hope to speak your very words, Father, so that in all aspects of my life you, Father, will be glorified.

1 Peter 1

Father, by your grace and through your inscrutable choice, I am your elect. You elected me for salvation and sanctification. I am cleansed and forgiven of my sins by the life and sacrifice of Jesus Christ, and I am converted to be obedient to you.

You have begotten me again to a living hope, through the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled, that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for me. I am kept by your power through faith.

Though I have not seen you, Lord Jesus, you have been revealed to me through your word and by the witness of your spirit who now dwells in me. Thereby, I do believe, and I rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, even though, while in this flesh, I am grieved from time to time by various trials.

These trials test the genuineness of my faith. But my faith remains, purified as if by fire and firm to the salvation of my soul.

James 4 & 5

Father, I draw near to you, and you draw near to me. I am cleansed and purified by you. I take your salvation very seriously. I humble myself before you, and you encourage me.

I do not presume regarding my will and ways. After all, my life, in this flesh, is fragile and temporal, like a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.

I am not in charge, Father. It is you who are God, and you who are the Lord of my life. I am not so arrogant as to think I am anything besides your bond servant, and I am thankful to be that.

I am generous and fair to those who lead me and to those who serve me. I am patient, and my heart is set on you, Lord. You fill me now, and in your timing, you will return to this earth. By your grace and communing fellowship, I persevere. You, Father, are compassionate and merciful.

Hebrews 12 & 13

Thank you, Father. By your grace, I have received a kingdom that cannot be shaken by which I can serve you acceptably with reverence and Godly fear. You, Father, are a consuming fire.

I am content with such that I have for I have you, Lord Jesus, and you promise you will never leave me or forsake me. So, I know you are my helper. I do not fear. What can the world do to me.

Lord Jesus, you are faithful to me as my Lord and Savior. You are the same yesterday, today, and forever. Your doctrine does not change. I am not deceived by “new” and strange doctrines.

I continue to give praise and thanks to you, Father, in the name of Jesus, and you, the God of Peace, make me complete in every good work to do your will. You work in me all that is well pleasing in your sight, through Jesus Christ. To you, Father, be glory forever and ever.

Hebrews 8 & 10

Jesus, you are my Savior and my Lord. You are my high priest forever. You are seated at the right hand of the throne of God, our majestic father, in the heavens.

You minister in the sanctuary in heaven. That is the true Tabernacle that God erected and not the one erected on earth, which is a copy and a shadow of the heavenly one.

You, Lord Jesus, have a more excellent ministry, in as much as you are the mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.

In this better covenant, you have put your laws in my mind and written them on my heart. You are my God, and I am yours. You, Father, have been merciful to my unrighteousness, and my sins and lawless deeds you remember no more. Through your perfect sacrifice, Lord Jesus, I have been sanctified.

2 Corinthians 5

Father, you have prepared me for eternity with you. When this tent that I dwell in is destroyed, I have a building from you, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. Now I may groan from time to time, but you have prepared that, at your appointed time, my mortality will be swallowed up by life.

You have prepared this very thing for me, Father, and you have given me your Holy Spirit as a guarantee.

Therefore, I am always confident as I walk now in faith and not by sight. I am confident and content with the knowledge that when I leave this body, I will be present with you, my God and my father.

For now, I make it my aim to be well pleasing to you. I want to live my life no longer for myself, but for the Lord Jesus, who died for me and rose again.

Hebrews 6

Lord God, I have fled to you for refuge to lay hold of the hope you have set before me. This hope is an anchor for my soul. It is sure and steadfast, and it holds me securely in your presence.

Jesus, my Lord, is in your presence as my high priest, and he makes intercession for me with you daily.

So, I feed on the meat of your word everyday, Father. In your strength, I go towards perfection. I am filled with your Holy Spirit. I do not become sluggish, instead I follow the example of your apostles.

I work and labor in love toward the Lord Jesus and the brethren. I am diligent to live in full assurance of the hope I have in Christ Jesus. You assure me with your oath and your indwelling counsel that I am an heir of your promise.

1 Corinthians 6; Hebrews 4 & 5

I belong to you, Lord Jesus. You bought me with a precious price, and I am glad and thankful.

You are my great high priest. You are now seated in the heavenlies with God, our father. You lived and served on this earth for a while, and you are able to empathize with my weaknesses since you were tempted in all ways, yet without sin.

Therefore, by your grace and through your priesthood, I am able to come boldly to the throne of God, my father, that I may obtain mercy and find grace for every day.

You, Lord Jesus, are the Christ. By the Father’s decree, you are the high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. You are perfected by the things you suffered. You are the author of my eternal salvation. Thank you, Lord.
