John 15; Romans 12; Ephesians 5 & 4

Thank you, Lord, that by your grace, you have chosen me and called me to you. By your word and your indwelling spirit, my mind is renewed, and I am transformed. Today I walk in your good, pleasing, and perfect will.

Today I am filled with you, Holy Spirit. I speak and commune in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs. I sing and make melody in my heart to you, Lord. I give thanks always for all things to you, Father, my God and my Creator, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Father, you put ministers into my life to equip me for the ministry you had for me. You have edified me. I have come to a unity of faith and of the knowledge of your son, my Lord Jesus and my Savior. I am mature and full of Christ Jesus.

I am no longer a child tossed to and fro and carried about by wrong doctrine or the trickery of man. Instead, I speak the truth in love, and I grow up into all the things of Christ, the head of the body, his church. I am joined into that body and knit together with other believers as we grow and edify one another now and forever.

Ephesians 3

I bow my knee to you, Father, the father of my Lord Jesus Christ. You do exceedingly abundantly above all that I ask or think, by your Holy Spirit working in me. To you, Father, be glory in your church by Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever.

I am called a Christian because you sent Christ to be my savior, and because you gave me, by your grace, the faith to believe.

Now we commune together day by day, and you grant me, according to the riches of your glory, to be strengthened with might, by your spirit, in my inner man. Christ dwells in my heart through faith.

I am rooted and grounded in love, and I begin to comprehend the love Christ has for me which passes knowledge. Through your word and your communion with me, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, I am able, in increasing degree, to see the width and length and depth and height of your love for me and for your people and for your creation. Through that knowledge and illumination, I am filled with you, Father, to all fullness.

Ephesians 3

Father, thank you that from your word and from your indwelling Holy Spirit, I’m coming to some knowledge and understanding of the mystery of Christ and of my place in it. It is revealed by the apostles and prophets that Gentiles, including me, are included in your salvation and are fellow heirs, members of Christ’s body, the church, and partakers of all your promises, Father, in Christ through the gospel.

Now I see the unsearchable riches that are mine in Christ. Now I see your answer to all questions is to place Christ and your glory in each person who is yours.

This indwelling communion was hidden to earlier ages but now is revealed to all who are yours that your manifold wisdom can be known to the church and to all the principalities and powers in heavenly places. The whole creation is coming to know your eternal purposes which you have accomplished in Christ Jesus, my Lord.

In Christ, I have boldness and confident communion through faith. I stay strong and do not lose heart as I live in the glory of Christ in me.

Ephesians 2

Once I was far from you, Father, without Christ and without hope. But by grace and faith, given to me by you, Father, I was saved.

Now I am your special work, created in Christ Jesus for good works which you, Father, prepared beforehand that I would walk in. Once I was far off but now, I have been brought near to you, Father God, by the blood of Christ.

You, Lord Jesus, are my peace, and you have made all God’s people, whether Jew or Gentile, one. In effect, you have created in yourself one new man and reconciled all of us back to God in one body, through your life, sacrifice, and resurrection.

Now through you, Lord Jesus, we have access by one Spirit to God, our Father. Now I am no longer a stranger to God, but now, I am a fellow citizen with the saints and a member of the household of God.

My knowledge of and faith in these things is based on the foundation of the apostles and prophets. Lord Jesus, you yourself are the chief cornerstone in whom the whole assured salvation is fitted together and grows into a holy temple.

I also have been built into that temple to be part of a dwelling place of God through you, Holy Spirit.

Proverbs 4 & 3; Hebrews 12

Good morning, Father, with joy and excitement, I give attention to your word. I incline my ear to all that you say. I keep my eye on your word, and I let your word fill my mind and my heart. Your word mounts guard over my heart, and out of my heart come the issues of life.

My heart retains your word. I keep your commands, and I live. From your word and your indwelling spirit, I get wisdom and leadership, wisdom and understanding. I exalt you, Lord, and I am filled with your glory.

I trust in you, Father, with all my heart, and I do not lean on my own understanding. In all my ways, I acknowledge you, and you direct my path.

I fear you, Lord, and I detest evil. In my reverence of you, you strengthen me and heal me.

I understand that you discipline me, Lord, because you love me, as a perfect father. You chasten every son who is yours.

You discipline me for my good that I will be a partaker of your holiness. No chastening seems pleasant at the moment nevertheless, your training yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to me.

Acts 20; Romans 12; 2 Timothy 4

Thank you, Father. I belong to you, and your word of grace fills me up and gives me an inheritance, a family, and a ministry.

Lord Jesus, I am a member of your body, the church, purchased with your own blood. You have declared to me the whole Gospel of God: repentance towards God, our father, and faith in you as Messiah and Lord.

Now I long to share with others the truth of your salvation, to proclaim and to teach. I do not count my life dear to myself, but offer it to you as a living sacrifice so that I may finish my race with joy and be useful in the ministry that you have given me.

By your grace and led by your spirit who lives in me, I will stay ready at any time to preach your word. I will hope, by your grace, to convince, rebuke, and exhort with complete patience.

Help me, Lord, to be watchful in all things, to endure well, and to fulfill the ministry you have for me.

I know there is laid up for me, and not just me, but for all who long for your appearing, a crown of righteousness which you, Lord Jesus, will give me on that day.

Acts 17, 16, & 17

Father God, you made the world and everything in it. You are the Lord of Heaven and Earth. You do not dwell in temples made with hands. You are not worshiped with men’s hands as if you needed anything a man could give you.

You give life and breath to all things. You made from one blood every nation of man who dwells on the earth. You determine the pre-appointed time, places, and boundaries for all that you created.

You planned and perfected this so that all who are yours would seek you and find you because you are not far from each one who is yours. Each of yours is your offspring.

Now, by your grace, Father, I have come to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and I am saved. You have turned my world upside down.

I receive your word with readiness and gladness. I search your scripture and find your truth. I have repented of my sins. The risen Christ is the assurance of my salvation and life.

Romans 8; 2 Peter 1; Galatians 5

Father, you are for me, nothing can prevail against me. You freely give me all things pertaining to life and godliness. You elected me, and you justified me.

My Lord Jesus died to propitiate my sins and to reconcile me back to you, Father. Now he is risen from the dead and seated at your right hand and making intercession for me.

Around me, in this fallen world, is tribulation, distress, tragedy, and utter foolishness. Yet, in all of this, I am more than a conqueror because you chose me to love, Father. I know from your word that because I am securely in Christ, nothing can ever separate me from your love.

You are with me. Your spirit fills me and leads me. You never leave me or forsake me.

Therefore, I am strong and courageous. I obey your word. I do not turn from your word to the right or to the left. I prosper wherever I go.

Your word lives in me, and I meditate on it and commune with you, Father, day and night. I observe to do all that is written in your word.

You prosper me and give me good success. In Christ, I am strong and of good courage. I am not afraid or dismayed, for you, Father, are my God, and you are with me wherever I go.

Psalms 103 & 104

I bless you, Lord. With all that is in me, I bless your holy name. You are my savior, my great Divine Benefactor.

You forgive my iniquities. You heal my diseases. You have redeemed my life from destruction, and you crown me with loving kindness and tender mercies. You give me good, living word to speak, and you renew my youth like the eagles.

You, Father, are righteous and just. You are merciful and gracious. You are very patient with me, and you abound in mercy toward me.

And so, I bless you, Lord, with all my mind, and soul, and strength, and heart. You are great. You are clothed with honor and majesty. You are light. In you is no darkness at all.

The clouds are your chariots. You walk on the wings of the wind. Your glory endures forever, Father. I sing praises to you. I am glad to be yours, Father, and glad to be in Christ.

Luke 11; Galatians 5; Romans 8; Ephesians 1; Acts 5

Father, you have given me the gift of your Holy Spirit, who now dwells in me. I am led by your Spirit and no longer led by my flesh.

Thank you, Holy Spirit, that you witness to me the truth of God’s word. You commune with me daily and all day. I am not left as an orphan, instead I am always with you.

You, Holy Spirit, are my guarantee that I belong to God. You seal me and assure me of salvation until the time of the redemption of the purchased possession by God, our Father, to the praise of his glory.

At one time, I and all of mankind murdered the Lord Jesus by hanging him on a tree, but you, great God, raised him from the dead and exalted him to your right hand as Prince and Savior.

In Christ and through Christ, I have been brought to repentance and forgiven of my sins. Now I am the witness to the mercy, and power, and redemption of Jesus, the Christ.
