Philippians 4&3; Romans 8; Philippians 1; Ephesians 1; Romans 15

Father, today I meditate on things that are good and true and pure. I looked for things with virtue and for actions that are praiseworthy. I study to learn from your word and from the lives of your people who I am in Christ and how I should be.

My goal is to be who you called me to be in Christ. I know that you, the God of Peace, foreknew me, and that you have predestined me to be conformed to the image of your son, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Moreover, those whom you predestine you also call, who you call, you also justify, and whom you justify, you also glorified. You are for me, Lord, so it is certain that nothing and no one can prevail against your will with my life.

Therefore, I am certain you will complete all that you have begun in me. I know that in your timing I will arrive before you holy, blameless, and complete in Christ.

I have peace and joy through faith in you, father. And by the power and presence in me of you, Holy Spirit, I abound in hope.

Philippians 3 &4

Father, I stand fast in Christ Jesus. I forget those things which are behind, and I reach forward to those things which are ahead. I press on toward the goal of your upward call to be wholly in Christ.

You have given me the gift of faith and the living bread of your word. So, I walk with Christ in maturity with peace and humility. If any disagree with me, Lord, you reveal your truth to them.

For my citizenship is in heaven, and from there, I eagerly await my savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. He will transform my lowly body, so that, it will be conformed to his glorious body according to the divine power that makes him King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

So, I rejoice in your salvation, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and again and again, in good times and in trouble, I rejoice. You are in me, Lord, and my moderation is obvious to all.

I am anxious of nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, I make my request known to you, father, and your peace, which surpasses understanding, mounts guard over my heart and my mind.

Philippians 3; 1 Corinthians 6; Philippians 3

Father, thank you for your salvation. I belong to you now. I have been bought with a price, and I am no longer my own.

Now, father, you work in me through the presence of your Holy Spirit and your word of life. You work your will in my actions, so that I am a pleasure to you.

I am led by your Spirit, and I do the things you have for me to do without disputing or complaining. In Christ I am your child without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation.

Your light in me shines for me and shines out to those around me as a beacon of hope; as a light in the world.

I have divine joy in Christ Jesus, and I put no confidence in the flesh. I count all the fleshy stuff and selfish lust as past loss, and instead, I pursue a living daily relationship with Christ Jesus, my Lord.

I am bound no longer to the things that this world calls important. I count them as rubbish, and instead, I choose Christ. I press on that I may lay hold of Jesus as he has laid hold of me. I know him in his power and in his fellowship.

2 Corinthians 4; Colossians 3; 2 Corinthians 4

Hallelujah, father, the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ shines on me and in me! I am like an earthen vessel filled with a treasure who is your Holy Spirit, and where you are, father, is divine, eternal, all reaching glory.

Now, in faith and encouraged by your Spirit, I set my heart on things above and not on the things of this earth. For I am dead, and my life is hidden with Christ in God.

Therefore, I do not lose heart even though my outward man is perishing, yet my inward man is being renewed day by day. The light afflictions of life in this flesh, which are brief, work for me a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.

I learn to not look at the things that are seen; not to turn at the world’s report, but instead I keep my eyes on the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are divine and eternal.

You, father, have prepared me for the things of life, and you have given me your Spirit as a guarantee.

Ephesians 4

Father, today you fill me and take charge of my mind and my will, and with joy, I walk worthy of your calling on my life. I walk in humility and gentleness. I am patient and bear with others in love.

For in Christ all who are yours, father, are one in body and Spirit. We are one in hope. We have one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father who is above all, and through all, and in all who believe.

To each of us you give grace, Lord Jesus. You, Lord, have served our father perfectly. You have destroyed the works of the enemy. You have reclaimed all the goodness of this creation, and you hand it out as gifts to us who are yours.

You gift us as you see fit. Some to be apostles, prophets, evangelists, and teachers for the equipping of the saints for the work of the ministry for the edifying of your body the church.

You, Lord Jesus, call us to the unity of the faith and to a real knowledge of you as the Son of God. You bring us to maturity, and you conform us to be like you, Lord Jesus.

Ephesians 3; Romans 12; Ephesians 3

Hallelujah! Father, I bow before you today. Thank you that your Holy Spirit fills me and strengthens me with your Almighty person in my inner man. Through your person in me Christ dwells in my heart.

I am rooted and grounded in love. I’m able to comprehend the width and length and depth and height; to know the love of Christ which passes all knowledge. I am filled with all your fullness, father.

I see your person and your word active in all the details of my life. Things come together in my life in ways that only you could orchestrate. You do things with me that exceed and abound above all that I ask or can even think of.

You fill me and take charge of my thoughts. I am transformed as you renew my mind. I’m able to walk in your good and pleasing and perfect will according to your power that works in me.

To you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever, amen!

Ephesians 2

Lord, by your grace I see how lost I was. Once I was dead in trespasses and sins. I walked according to the course of this world. I was self-centered and calling it freedom, when in reality I was a slave to lusts and self.

But you, father, who are rich in mercy because of the great love you have for me, even while I was dead, you made me alive together with Christ, and you raised me up together with all those who are yours, and you have sat me together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

This is true salvation. I am saved by your grace, through faith in Jesus, and that is all a gift from you and not based on any works of mine.

Now, even though I was once far off, I have been brought back to you, father, by the blood of Jesus. For Jesus’s life and death and resurrection is peace; peace between you and me, father.

Christ has reconciled me back to you, father. He has put to death the enmity between me and you, my Heavenly Father. I was lost but now, praise God, I am found.

I am no longer a stranger or a foreigner, but now, I am a fellow citizen with the saints. I am a member of the household of God.

Ephesians 1

After I heard your word of truth, father, the Gospel of your salvation, by your illumination and gift of faith to me, I believed. Having believed I was sealed with your promised Holy Spirit who is the guarantee of my inheritance until the time of my actual redemption to the praise of your glory.

Thank you, father, that your Spirit in me gives me wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of you. That is actual personal communion and counsel with your person, not just intellectual knowledge about you. I have eternal relationship with you.

The eyes of my understanding are enlightened, and I begin to know the hope of your calling on my life. I begin to realize and revel in the riches of the glory of the inheritance that I have through you, Lord Jesus.

Father, I live in the great power you have towards me as a believer. That same mighty power that you worked in Christ when you raised him from the dead and seated him at your right hand in heavenly places far above all principality and power, and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only now but also forever.

Ephesians 1

Father, your grace is glorious. Without it I would be lost, but with it I am saved. You, father, chose me to be yours before the foundation of the world.

Through faith in Jesus you enabled me to be justified and declared holy without blame before you. You predetermined that I would be adopted as your son through Jesus Christ according to your sovereign good pleasure and to the praise of the glory of your grace. You are glorious, father.

Purely at your pleasure and by your grace, you have made me accepted in the beloved in Christ. By his sacrifice I have redemption, the forgiveness of my sins. Your grace abounds in me in all wisdom and prudence. You begin to make known to me the mystery of your will for me.

I live together with you now, father, to serve your good pleasure. I know that you are drawing together as one all things in Christ both in heaven and on earth. You act sovereignly according to your will in your determination of the fullness of time. You work all things according to the council of your will, and in you I put my trust.

Galatians 1; 2 Peter 1; Galatians 2

Thank you, father, for your grace and peace through Jesus, your Christ, and my Lord. It pleased you to call me through your grace to reveal your son in me.

By your gospel, written in words of life, I know that the Lord Jesus Christ gave himself for my sins so as to deliver me from this evil age. That is your gospel, and it came by revelation to your apostles. They wrote it down as you led them, and there is no other gospel.

Your gospel clearly informs me that I am not justified by works of the law. Instead, I am justified by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. The works of the law cannot justify anyone.

For I died to the law that I might live to you, father. I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in Jesus, the Son of God, who loves me and gave himself for me.
