Luke 9 & 10; John 6; Luke 10

Lord Jesus, you are glorious. You are God’s beloved son, and I listen to you. You did not come to destroy men’s lives. You came to save. I am yours, Lord Jesus. I have put my hands on your gospel plow, and, by your grace, I am not looking back.

I hear you, Lord, and I love your words. You have given me authority over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt me, nevertheless, what I really rejoice in is that my name is written with you in heaven.

God, our father, has given me to you, and you, Lord Jesus, will never cast me out.

Through your word and by your spirit, my eyes see, and my ears hear the things many prophets and kings longed to hear and see. I sit at your feet, Lord Jesus, and I hear your word. That hearing is the one thing that is needed. That perfect, personal communion with you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, is the good part, and I choose that.

Luke 9; Colossians 2; Ephesians 1

Lord Jesus, you are the Christ, the son of the living and only God. You are the Christ of God, and I desire to follow you. I deny myself daily. I take up my cross daily, and I follow you.

I am saved and filled with eternal life by giving up my life and living anew with your life indwelling me. By your grace, Father, through faith in Jesus as your Messiah, I am born from above and saved from hell and adopted into the family of God.

All that is a free gift. I don’t deserve it, but you, Father, give it to me. I can’t pay the price for it, but my Lord Jesus did pay for it.

You foreknew me, and in your love and mercy, you chose me to be yours in Christ before the foundation of the world. Through Christ, I am holy and blameless before you in love. For your good pleasure, you have made me acceptable in your beloved to the praise of your glory.

In Christ, I have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of my sins, according to the riches of his grace. I abound in thanksgiving, and I have found rest for my soul.

Luke 4 & 5; 2 Timothy 2; 1 John 1; Luke 7; 1 Thessalonians 4; 1 Corinthians 3

Thank you, Lord Jesus, that through your word, you preached the kingdom of God to me. When I was lost in sin, you called me to repentance, and you, Father, granted me repentance. By your grace, I came to my senses and escaped the snare of the devil who had taken me captive to do his will.

Yes, I was lost in my sin and nastiness, but you, Lord Jesus, brought me back to the Father. I confessed my sin, and you, Father, forgave me and cleansed me from all unrighteousness.

I was forgiven much by your life, Lord Jesus, and now I love you much. Now I wait on you. I trust you, and I welcome your sanctifying presence, person, and power in my life, day to day, moment by moment, thought by thought.

Thank you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, that you move in me and make me increase and abound in love for others. You establish my heart blameless in holiness before you.

Filled and set in Christ, and led by God the Spirit, I live a quiet life, doing the work you have for me, Father, and minding my own business, walking properly before all people and lacking nothing in my life. I am Christ’s, and Christ is yours, Father.

Romans 6; Lamentations 1; Romans 9; Lamentations 1 & 3

Yes, Lord, all have sinned and come short of your glory. I certainly did, and I see that my nation is sinning gravely and becoming enslaved and sold out to the evil one. Yet you are Almighty God, Father, and you bless, and you curse, according to your will, and your plans.

I pray your Comforter would restore your life to my country as you have restored life to me. I remember the great and mighty things you have done in the past. You have delivered and prospered your people over and over, therefore, I have hope.

Through your mercies, Father, we are not consumed. Your compassion never fails. Your mercy is new every morning, and great is your faithfulness. You are the full portion to each of us who are yours, therefore, we have divine, sovereign hope, through every situation.

You are good, Father, to all who wait upon you; to the souls that seek you. Our salvation is from you, Father, through Jesus, the Christ. You do not approve, and you will avenge all the immoral enslavement, and the corruption of justice, and the subversion of the efforts of your people.

You will not wait forever. In your perfect time, you will show compassion according to the multitude of your mercies. Hallelujah.

Lamentations 1 & 3

How lonely and lowly my country has become. We used to be full of people with honor and dignity. We were people who worked to get along and were diligent about our work and about truth. We were great among nations.

We were like a princess among the nations, but now we have become a slave. Other nations have dealt treacherously with us. We have gone into captivity, and we find no rest.

Our adversaries are becoming our masters. Our enemies are prospering at our expense.

You, Father, are letting us reap the fruit of our transgressions against you. We have left our history and our faith, Father, and now our children have gone into captivity of the evil one.

Our splendor has departed. Our leaders, even the good ones, flee from the issues like deer without strength.

Our adversaries mock at our downfall. They see our hypocrisy and vileness as if we are naked before them. We are unclean, and we have abandoned our destiny. Our collapse is awesome and tragic. It makes me weep.

God, your Spirit is far from so much of our country. Please bring us to repentance. Turn us back to you.

Luke 4; Romans 8; Luke 6

Thank you, Father, that, by your grace and mercy, your Holy Spirit is upon me.

I am baptized and anointed by you, God the Spirit. I am an instrument in your hands for use in your kingdom. I pray I am useful and yielded to you, Holy Spirit, as you preach the gospel, and heal broken hearts, and liberate captives, and give sight to the blind, and set people free from oppression.

I am under your authority, Holy Spirit. I am led by you and taught by you. You conform me to the image of the Lord Jesus Christ. By your indwelling presence, Christ lives and rules in me.

I hunger for your presence and for communion with you, and you fill me. I love my enemies, and do good to all. I do not take offense, and I do not retaliate. I pray for those who misuse me. I give and do not demand repayment. As I want people to do to me, I try to do the others.

I am merciful, Father, just as you are merciful. I forgive others as you have forgiven me.

Lord Jesus, you are my Lord, and I do the things which you command. I come to you gladly and thankfully, and I obey your word and Spirit. I have dug deep in you, and built my house on you as the eternal and living Rock.

1 Corinthians 4; Galatians 6; Ephesians 2; Romans 5 & 6; Colossians 3

I don’t have anything good and living in my life and character that you did not give me, Lord. So, I have no reason to boast about myself or to be proud of my deeds. In fact, without your intervention in my life, I would be lost and gone.

Today, I do boast about Christ Jesus and about his sacrifice for my salvation. I boast and give thanks for your cross, Lord Jesus, by you, the world is crucified to me, and I am crucified to the world.

Now it is all about the new creation within me. You, Father, have made me alive even when I was dead in sin and trespasses. You birthed a new man in me, born from above, by your will, through your Holy Spirit.

So now, I have been baptized into Christ. First into his death so my old nature is dead and no longer has dominion over me. And now, with a new man, the very person of God, I walk in newness of life.

Now you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, reign in my life. My thoughts, intentions, and decisions are now all yours. I live in the new man who is renewed through your knowledge, Father.

Your word dwells richly in me. I rejoice always, and I am ceaselessly in communion with you. Your Holy Spirit leads me with the mind of Christ. Whatever I do, I do it all in your name Lord Jesus, giving thanks to our father through you.

Luke 1; 1 Corinthians 6; Romans 8

Blessed are you, Lord. You fellowship and commune with me. You have redeemed me. You have delivered me from the evil one. I can serve you without fear, in holiness and righteousness, all the days of my life, and then forever.

Through your word and the Lord Jesus, your Messiah, you give me knowledge of salvation by the remission of sin, by your grace, through faith in Christ Jesus.

Christ Jesus, the Day Spring, has come to me through your tender mercy, Father. He has bought me and called me. He has justified me and sanctified me.

You, Father, foreknew me, and you predestined me to be conformed to the image of the Lord Jesus so that I would be one of his many brethren. Now, my Lord Jesus makes intercession for me with you, Father, everyday.

I am filled with your Spirit and led by your Spirit so, I know the things of the Spirit, and I’m able to walk in obedience and to be pleasing to you, Father.

2 Corinthians 4; Galatians 5; Ephesians 1

Good morning, Holy Spirit, thank you for your indwelling presence and for your divine life and glory. You are the treasure who fills me, and the glory is the very presence of God, with my body as your vessel.

You have called me to liberty, not liberty as an opportunity to sin, but liberty, through love, to serve our father as an instrument in his hand.

Today, Holy Spirit, I walk led by you, and I do not fulfill the old lust of my flesh. I am led by you, Holy Spirit. Out of my life flows your fruit: love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance. I am dead to my flesh and alive in you, Holy Spirit. I live in fellowship with you, and I walk with you, led by you.

I have heard the word of truth, the Gospel of my salvation, and I have believed it, and you, Holy Spirit, have sealed me as belonging to God, our father.

Your presence now, in me and on me, guarantees me that I am God’s own child and that I belong to him forever; that I am redeemed and that I will be redeemed in the last day. You, Holy Spirit, are my assurance of redemption and of eternity with God, in his glory, and to his praise.

Psalms 32, 33, & 16

Hallelujah, Lord Jesus, thank you for your grace and for my salvation. You have heard my confession, and you have forgiven the iniquity of my sin. You, good Lord, are my hiding place. You preserve me from trouble.

You instruct me and teach me in the way I should go. You guide me with your Holy Spirit and your holy word. I have understanding, and I am cheerfully obedient and teachable.

You surround me, Lord, with songs of deliverance. I am glad in you, and I rejoice.

My soul waits on you, Lord. I am joined up with you. I am in you, and you, and the Father are in me. You are my wisdom and righteousness, and you are my shield. My heart rejoices in you, and I trust in your holy name. Your mercy is on me everyday, and I live in your perfect hope.

You, Lord Jesus, are my Lord. All my “goodness” is nothing apart from you. But, by your grace, we are never apart. You are my Lord now, and you counsel and instruct me. We are in ceaseless communion.

Therefore, my heart is glad, and I live in your glorious fellowship. I rest in hope. You are always with me. You show me the way of life. In your presence is fullness of joy, and at your right hand are pleasures forever more.
