Psalms 34, 23 & 34; John 17; Psalms 34

I bless you, lord, at all times. Praise for you is continually in my mouth. I have tasted your presence and your word and your ways, father, and I know that you are good.

You are my shepherd and I want for nothing. There is no want to me because I fear you, lord. I seek you daily, lord, and you hear me, and you deliver me from all my fears. Your angels encamp all around me, father, and they deliver me

I seek you, lord, and I lack no good thing. I cry out and you deliver me. I cry out today, holy spirit, “take charge of my every word and thought. Keep my tongue from evil.” Today, by your grace, I am free from evil. I do good. I seek peace, and I pursue it.

There are afflictions and tribulations in this world, but you deliver me from them all. I am of good cheer because in Christ I have overcome the world. The Lord redeems my soul every day and all day forever, and I am not condemned.

Galatians 5; 1 Corinthians 6; 2 Corinthians 4 & 5

Thank you, lord, for your presence in me. Fill me, holy spirit, and take charge of my every thought. For I am no longer my own. I belong to the Father for I have been bought with a price.

By your grace, father, I am filled with your spirit and in communion with you. I have your presence in me like a treasure filling an earthen vessel. All that is right in me is from your power and presence, and not from my “power”.

Circumstances around me may press me but I am not crushed. I may be perplexed by this world but by your sweet fellowship and perfect promises I do not despair.

I am dead to my flesh, and to the world system because the life of Jesus manifests in my flesh. I know that you, father, who raised the Lord Jesus, will also raise me up with him and present me to yourself.

So, I am always confident knowing that while I am at home in the body I am absent from the Lord. And when absent from the body I am fully present with the lord. But, whether present or absent, father, make me pleasing to you today. For that is my aim.

2 Peter 1; Psalms 119; John 8

Thank you, father, for giving me a living, saving faith through your love, and through the righteousness of my savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. You make yourself known to me, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Through your word and your indwelling presence I am born again, and I live in your glory. I have everything I need for life and godliness.

You, holy spirit, wield the precious and very great promises of God around in my mind and heart, so that, through a renewed mind, I am a joyful partaker of your divine nature, and I escape the corruption that is in this world because of sin.

I walk in freedom today because I have sought your precepts. Your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.

I continue in your word, your precious and great promises. I am indeed your disciple. By your word, and by your grace and communion, I know the truth and the truth keeps me free.

2 Corinthians 5 & 4

Thank you, father, for calling me to your salvation and for placing me in Christ. By your grace, I am a new creature. The ine old things have passed away, behold, everything about me that counts has become new.

Everything about me now is of you, father. You have reconciled me to youself through Jesus Christ, and you have given me a ministry of reconciliation. You were in Christ, father, reconciling the world back to yourself.

I belong to you, father. You chose me. So, I do not lose hope even though my outward man is perishing, yet the inward man (the new man, the divine man) is being renewed day by day.

The worldly tribulations and afflictions of this life are brief compared to eternity and, by your grace and plan, father, they work in me an exceeding and eternal weight of glory.

For I know that you, father, who raised up the Lord Jesus, will also raise me up with Jesus and you will present me to yourself. Help me today, father, to be well pleasing to you.

Deuteronomy 32; Hebrews 11; Psalms 33; John 1; Hebrews 4; 1 Peter 1; John 17; John 1

Thank you, father, in faith and humility, with a clear understanding of my desperate need, I take to heart your word. I teach your word to my children. I live your word before them.

There is no empty word from your Bible, but rather your word is life itself. By your word I live long in the lands you have given me. Your word is life and light to me.

The universe was created by your word. By your word the heavens were made. Your word became flesh and dwelt among us.

Your word is living and active. It is sharp and pierces to the division of soul and spirit. It discerns the thoughts and intentions of our hearts. We cannot hide from your word. It exposes us (and that is why so many hate the word).

Your word, father, is eternal life, and I am born again by the incorruptible seed which is your word. Your word is truth and I am sanctified by that truth. Your word is with you, father, and your word is god, father.

Hebrews 12, 4, & 12

Father, your Gospel kingdom cannot be shaken, but it will shake everything else of earth and heaven. Your gospel challenges men to listen and to hear. You call and you warn.

Your Gospel kingdom shakes the old kingdom of law: the Mount Sinai that blazed with your fire and your voice; that made hearers beg for no further messages from you. Indeed, so terrifying was the sight that even Moses said, “I tremble with fear.”

The old covenant shook the mountain, but now your new and final covenant, your gospel covenant, will shake earth and heaven. It will force people to seek and follow you, or to refuse and reject you. It draws your children to you in love, and it brings out hatred and rage in the children of the evil one.

Your gospel is meant to separate and divide. You mean to remove the things that can be shaken so that all that remains are those eternal things that cannot be shaken.

I am grateful for a kingdom that cannot be shaken. I worship you, father, son, and holy spirit with reverence and awe, for you are my God and my father.

Hebrews 12

Hallelujah, now, by your grace, father, I live in your gospel kingdom. I have come to Mount Zion into the city of you, my living god, the heavenly Jerusalem. Now innumerable angels are camped around me and serve you perfectly, father.

Other firstborn sons are in fellowship with me. You, the perfect judge, minister your word to me and continue to perfect me. And here is Jesus.

I am with Jesus and he is with me. He intercedes for me and he mediates the new covenant to me. I see that his life and death and resurrection have spoken the final word over my life.

His sacrifice has bought my peace with you father, and purified my conscience. Now I have mercy and pardon. I am reconciled to you, father. I am a child of your pasture and a citizen of your kingdom, father.

And this is the kingdom that cannot be shaken. I have peace in my soul and abound with thankfulness and love. I have a new nature who enjoys obedience.

Hebrews 12

I thank you, Lord Jesus, that you are the founder and perfector of the faith that is born in me. You are the author and finisher of my life story. I keep my eyes on your endurance despite afflictions, so that, I do not grow weary or faint-hearted.

I know our father disciplines the sons he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives. He disciplines me for my good, so that, I will share in his holiness. Discipline does not seem pleasant but it yields a peaceful fruit of righteousness to me as it trains me.

So, I am encouraged by your love for me and your attention to me, father. I lift up drooping hands, and I strengthen my weak knees, and I walk along on the straight path you have shown me. It is the gospel path.

I live in and seek after your peace and holiness. I am filled with your grace, father. I am quick to forgive and free from all bitterness.

I am holy and seek to stay godly and faithful to my vows. I hold to the new birthright you have given to me in your Gospel of salvation and I am glad.

1 Corinthians 15; 2 Thessalonians 1; 1 John 5

Fill me today, Holy Spirit, take charge of my thoughts and feelings that I would be steadfast in my faith in the Father and in my Lord Jesus. Today I am steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the lord, knowing that in the Lord my labor is not in vain.

Today, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, make me worthy of your calling on my life. Today by your power fulfill with me every resolve for good and every work of faith that you have ordained for me to be a part of. Be glorified in me today, Lord God, according to your grace and pleasure.

I know I have been born of you, heavenly father, because I believe that Jesus is the Christ. I love you, father, and I enjoy and want to obey your commandments. I keep your word in front of me and apply it to my thoughts intentionally and repetitiously. In that way my mind is renewed and I overcome the world’s lure and tribulation.

I believe that Jesus is your Christ and your son, father. This is my faith, and my faith is the victory that overcomes the world.

Psalms 89, 90 & 89

Lord God, you are my father. You are my God and the rock of my salvation. From everlasting to everlasting you are my god.

I am satisfied because of your great mercy. I am able to rejoice and be glad in all my days because I know your promises and I trust your perfect faithfulness.

I see the work you have done in my character and I enjoy the glory of your presence in me. Your beauty is upon me, lord. You establish the work of the ministry that you have for me. You see that the work of my hand is done your way.

I am a chosen servant of yours, Lord. I am an instrument available for your hand. You anoint me with your holy spirit. You strengthen me with your strong arm.

Enemies cannot outwit me, nor can the demons afflict your work in me. You beat down your foes and plague those that hate your gospel.

Your faithfulness and mercy are upon me. Your ministry with me succeeds and exalts your glory and strength, Father.
