Romans 5 & 6; 2 Corinthians 5; Romans 8

I rejoice in you, Father, through my Lord Jesus Christ, through whom I have received reconciliation to you, Father. Glory and thank you for your mercies.

Sin entered the world through one man, but by your grace, the free gift of life and salvation through Jesus Christ abounded to many and resulted in justification.

Through Jesus’s righteous act, the free gift of salvation came to me resulting in justification of my life. With joy and humility, I receive the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness, and I reign in life through the one Messiah, Jesus Christ.

This “reigning” means my old man is crucified with Christ, and I am no longer a slave to sin. I am in Christ now and freed from the shame of my past for I am a new creature, and the old is gone, and behold everything is new for me.

There is, therefore, now no condemnation for me for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death.

Romans 4 & 5

Father, I do not waiver at your promises. You give life to the dead, and you call those things which do not exist as though they did. I am fully convinced that what you promise you will and are accomplishing. That faith is accounted to me, by your grace, for righteousness.

I believe in you, Father. I believe you raised up Jesus, my Lord, from the dead. He was delivered up for my offenses, and he was raised as my justification.

Now, hallelujah, having been justified by faith, I have peace with you, Father, through my Lord Jesus Christ. Through Christ, I have full access to your grace, Father, and in that grace, I now stand.

I stand in your grace, and I rejoice in hope of your glorious presence with and within me. Even in trying times, I glory, because with you, Father, tribulation produces perseverance and character, and character produces hope. And hope in you, Father, does not disappoint, because you pour your love out to my heart by your Holy Spirit whom you have given to me.

Ephesians 2; Psalm 32

Father, in humble sorrow, I realize that for years I conducted myself among the children of disobedience in the lust of my flesh fulfilling all the selfish imaginings of my flesh and my mind. I was by my nature a child of wrath just like much of mankind still is.

But, thank you, that you, Father, because of your rich mercy and because of your great love, even when I was dead in my sins and trespasses, you made me alive together with your other children with Christ.

By your grace, you saved me and raised me up and made me to sit together in the Heavenly Christ Jesus. In this way of your divine salvation, you showed the exceeding riches of your grace and your kindness towards me. Thank you, Father, you are the God of my salvation, and thank you, Jesus, you are the Savior of my life.

I am truly blessed because my lawless deeds are forgiven, and my sins are covered. By your grace, Father, my sins are not imputed against me. That is undeserved mercy, and I am thankful for it.

Romans 3; John 1; Romans 3

For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. We cannot make up for that by deeds of the law. No flesh can be justified in your sight, Father, by our good deeds. The law gives us knowledge of sin, but it is not the cure for sin.

Your provision for curing sin is to justify those who live by faith, by your grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.

You, Heavenly Father, set forth Jesus as a propitiation, by his sacrifice, for my sins and for all who believe and receive Jesus as the Lord of their lives.

Jesus, through living faith, is my righteousness, and that righteousness is eternal and fully pleasing to you, Father. You, Father, through Christ, pass over my sins and demonstrate your righteousness. You are just, and you are the justifier of all who have faith in Christ Jesus.

So, I have nothing to boast about in regard to my works, but I have much to be thankful for because of your grace, Father. I am justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law. Hallelujah, it’s by Jesus and not by me.

2 Corinthians 5; Romans 3

Lord Jesus, I know you died for me, and you rose again. Your love compels me to live no longer for myself, but to live for you.

You dwell in me now in the person of your Holy Spirit. You have given me a new heart that is sincerely yours. I am in Christ, and I am a new creature. My old fleshy ways are passed away, behold everything in my life is new.

Now everything about me that counts is of God, our father. He has reconciled me to himself through you, Lord Jesus, and has prepared me to be used by him in the ongoing ministry of reconciliation, which is God in you, Lord Jesus, reconciling the world to himself.

So, I am now an ambassador of Christ Jesus. I am the very righteousness of God because you, Lord Jesus, who knew no sin, paid for my sins (past, present, and future). Now I see, and with thanksgiving receive a righteousness of God apart from deeds of the law.

It is the Father’s divine declared righteousness given me and all who believe, by his grace, through faith in you, Lord Jesus.

Romans 1

Good morning, Father. I am proud of your gospel. It is the power, your divine sovereign power, to salvation for each of us who believe.

In your gospel, your plan for my perfect righteousness is revealed from faith to faith. You have written to me, “The just shall live by faith”. You have shown me that I am justified by faith in my Lord Jesus, your Christ.

You have also revealed your wrath from heaven for those who will not believe, for those who live ungodly and unrighteously and continue in that life without conviction or repentance.

There are many who suppress the truth even though you, Father, have manifested yourself to them. For since the creation of the world, you have shown your invisible attributes clearly in the things that are made.

Yet much of mankind will not glorify you as God. They are not thankful, instead they are futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts grow even darker.

They profess to be wise, and instead, become more and more foolish until finally, they belong totally to their vile passions.

Psalm 18; James 1; Psalm 18

I praise you, Father, with all my heart. I sing praise to you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I worship your majesty and sovereign grace. You are Almighty God, and there is no other.

To your chosen people you give life and redemption. Your loving kindness gives me sure hope, and your truth guides my feet and thoughts.

Your word is magnified beyond mere words and precepts. Your word is life. Your word saves or offends. With meekness, I engraft your word into my mind, and my soul is saved.

I cry out, and you answer me. You fill me with your Holy Spirit, and I am bold to seek your purposes and strengthened to do your will.

In this fallen world I walk in the midst of trouble. Rage and selfishness abound. Liars seek to prevail. Even your truth is called evil, and now, the lie is called truth.

Nevertheless, you guard me, and you guard your people from the wrath of your enemies. With your right hand you save all who are yours.

Psalm 18(thru out); Ephesians 2; Hebrews 4; 1 John 5; 1 Corinthians 1; 2 Corinthians 10; 1 Peter 5

You, oh Lord, my God, have put your light within me. You have enlightened me. Now I can be used by you for the spiritual, eternal things that you have prepared beforehand that I would walk in.

Your word, oh Lord, is proven. It is truth and life. It is a sharp sword that separates. It gives everlasting life and peace, or it condemns without doubt. I trust you, Lord, and you are my shield.

You are God. You are my Lord. You are my rock. You arm me against deception. You protect me from the evil one. You are my strength, and through Christ, you are wisdom, redemption, righteousness, and sanctification in me. I am mature in Christ.

You make my mind quick on its feet, and I’m able to take ungodly thoughts captive and to pull down wrong beliefs. My arm and mind is strong for your things Father.

You are the shield of my salvation, Father. You hold me up. You fill me with gentleness, and you keep me mature, established, strengthened, and secure.

Psalm 21(thru out); Deuteronomy 4; Ezekiel 36; Ephesians 1; Acts 17

Father, I have joy in your strength. You are Almighty God, and every desire and plan and purpose of yours is perfectly fulfilled in your exact time.

I rejoice in your salvation for me. You have given me the desires of my heart, and along the way, you have changed my heart from one of stone to one of compassion and peace. You hear my petitions with the love of a perfect father.

You bless me daily with goodness. Your presence is goodness. You have adopted me and put a crown on my head and made me a prince in your kingdom. In you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, I live and move and have my being.

I asked to be born again, and you had already granted that and done the work in me that I would have eternal life. Now I am blessed with your presence and communion forever and ever. My hope of glory is you, Lord Jesus, with your glory, dwelling in me, and I am glad of it.

Psalm 20; John 14; 2 Corinthians 13

Father, by your grace and for your own reasons, you chose me and anointed me for salvation. In time of brokenness and repentance, I called on you, and you answered me from your holy heaven with the saving strength of your right hand. You gave me the gift of your Holy Spirit forever and always.

Now I rejoice in your salvation, and I exalt your name, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I set up banners and events to honor you.

Thank you for your mercy and power in every detail of my life. You commune with me in times of trouble, and you defend me. You send me help from your sanctuary, and you strengthen me with your word and presence.

You are kind and loving, and you grant me so many of my personal desires. I enjoy the beauty of your creation and the sweetness of fellowship with your saints. You fulfill your purposes for me, and you hear my petitions.

I do not trust the power or wisdom of man. I do not trust society or national prestige. I trust in your love, Father, and in the grace of Jesus, and in the communion of your Holy Spirit.
