Romans 5&6

Father, your word has come to me, and it is clear that sin abounds, but where sin abounds, grace abounds much more. Sin reigned in death, but now, hallelujah, grace reigns, through righteousness, to eternal life through Jesus Christ, my Lord.

By Jesus’s obedience, I, along with many others, am made righteous. I have received the abundance of your grace, Father, and I have received of your gift of righteousness through faith in Christ Jesus, my Lord. Now I reign over death with your everlasting life.

I am raised from the dead by your glory, Father, so that now I walk in the newness of life.

My old man is crucified with Christ so that sin in my body is rendered powerless, and I am no longer a slave to sin.

Therefore, sin no longer reigns in my mortal body, nor do I obey it in its lusts. Now, by the abundance of your grace, Father, and by the gift of your righteousness, Lord Jesus, I am free from sin, and I have become your bond servant.

I belong to you forever. I live now in the fruit of your holiness, Father, and in the end, everlasting life.

Romans 6; 2 Corinthians 5; Romans 7

Thank you, Father, that though I was at one time a slave to sin, yet now, I have obeyed from my heart the doctrine shown to me by your holy scripture and witnessed to me by your Holy Spirit, and I have been set free from sin.

Now I have gladly become a slave to righteousness. First of all to the righteousness of Christ Jesus, which perfects me for fellowship with you, Father. A righteousness accomplished and completed once for all time, solely by Christ, and imputed to my credit. You, Father, made Jesus, who knew no sin, to be sin for me, that I could become your divine righteousness in him.

Secondly, I in my new nature do put my old fleshy man to death, and live in the newness of the spirit and not in the oldness of the letter. The letter of the law is spiritual, but I am still carnal. Sometimes what I want to do, that I do not practice, but praise God, I still want to live righteous, Father.

So in my flesh, nothing good dwells. But my new man, my new inward man, delights in your law, Father, and wars against my flesh, and reckons my flesh dead to sin and alive unto righteousness, Father. Praise you, Father, Christ has delivered me from this body of death!

Psalm 62; Hebrews 7; 2 Corinthians 5; Psalm 91

By your grace and choice and call, Father, my soul is joined with you. You have sent Jesus, your Christ, to me, and he is my rock. He is my salvation. He is my defense. He makes intercession for me daily. He is my righteousness. I stand firm and solid in your grace.

I dwell with you, Most High, and you make your abode with me. You are my refuge and my dwelling place. No evil befalls me, and no plague comes near me.

You, Father, have given your angels charge over me. I am filled with your Holy Spirit, who keeps me in all of your ways. You cover me. You guide me. You give me wisdom to tread safely and accurately through this world, day by day and thought by thought.

I commune with you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I call on you, and you answer. You are with me in all of life‘s circumstances. You deliver me, and you honor me way beyond anything I deserve – grace, great grace!

You satisfy me with long life, and you fill my vision with your glorious salvation. 

Psalm 119: 169-175; Psalm 121

Thank you, Lord, that you have given me understanding through your word. You have delivered me according to your word. My lips praise you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

You teach me your statutes. My tongue speaks your living word. Righteousness is in your commandments. I choose your precepts, Father.

I live in your salvation, Lord Jesus, and I look forward to your day. Your word is my delight. By your grace, my soul lives, and I praise you with all my strength and heart.

I lift up my eyes to you, Father, and you fill me with your strength. You, who made heaven and earth, are my God and a very present help in all of life.

You keep me firm in my faith and hope. You are always with me and guard me. You keep me, and you encourage me.

You preserve me from evil. You fill me with your eternal life. You watch over each day of my life and each step that I take, now and forevermore. 

1 John 3; John 14&16; 1 John 4

This is your commandment, Father, that I believe on the name of your son, Jesus Christ, and his name includes Lord, Messiah, and Savior. He is my peace, my hope, my joy, and my Jubilee. Filled with his love for me, I love others as myself.

Your Holy Spirit communes with me day by day and thought by thought. Your spirit witnesses Jesus to me. He confesses to me the truth of your word.

I keep my eyes on your word, Father, and I abide in Christ Jesus, and he abides in me, through the person and presence of your Holy Spirit.

Your Holy Spirit teaches me all things and brings to my remembrance all of Jesus‘s word. He guides me into all truth. He speaks not on his own authority, but he speaks the very words of Jesus, and he tells me things to come. He glorifies the Lord Jesus in my mind and heart. He takes the truth of Jesus, my savior and my redeemer, and he declares it to me.

I belong to you, Father, and you have filled me with your very presence. You abide in me. There are spirits against you, Father, but I have overcome them, because much greater is your spirit, who abide in me, than the spirits who are of this world.

Romans 5; John 14; Hebrews 13

By your gift of faith, Father, and by your witness and communion, Holy Spirit, I am fully convinced that you, Father, are able and faithful to perform all that you have promised.

By your grace, you account my faith to me as righteousness. Your scriptures assure me that righteousness is imputed to me through faith in Jesus Christ, as your Messiah. He is raised from the dead by your sovereign power, delivered up as propitiation for my offenses, and raised for my justification.

By all of Jesus‘s faithfulness and courage, I am justified, and I have peace with you, Father. In faith, I am in Christ. I stand day by day in your grace, Father, and I rejoice in hope in your glorious presence.

You dwell in me now, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. You never leave me, and you will never forsake me.

Psalm 32

I am so blessed by you, Father. My transgressions are forgiven, and my sin is covered. You did not impute my iniquities against me, and now, in Christ, I know the truth, and I am not deceived.

When I lived in sin and silence, I aged, and your hand came heavy on me. You granted me sight to see my sinfulness, and repentance to turn back to you and to confess my sin to you. When I confessed, you forgave.

Now you are my hiding place. You preserve me from trouble. You surround me with songs of deliverance.

You instruct me and teach me in the way I must go. You cause me to see with truth and accuracy and to follow willingly. I do not have to be bridled or bitted, because you give me divine understanding.

I trust in you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and mercy surrounds me. I am glad to be hidden in Christ, and I rejoice. You have saved me and transformed me, Lord, with an upright heart, and I shout for joy! 

1 John 1

Thank you, Father, that your Apostle John tells me you are real and true, and that you want fellowship with me; that you want my joy to be full. John tells me that he heard you, and he saw you with his own eyes; that he touched you; he heard your word, and he saw divine life manifested through your word.

He bears witness and declares to me that the eternal life of God, our father, came to us through the person of Jesus, our Lord and Messiah. John saw it, him, and heard it, and declares it to me so that I will have fellowship with you, Heavenly Father, and you, Lord Jesus, and with you, Holy Spirit.

He testifies to the salvation and eternal life, through Jesus, God’s son, so that divine, sovereign joy will fill every part of my being.

Romans 1; Colossians 1; Romans 12

Lord, here I am, by your grace, a bond servant of the Lord Jesus Christ. Separated and set apart to your gospel. Your gospel is foretold by your prophets and written in your scripture by your apostles and declared finished by the life and death and resurrection of Jesus, your son, raised from the dead and glorified by your spirit of holiness.

Through him, I have received your salvation, finished and paid for. Day by day, you commune to me the understanding of the fullness of your saving grace, so my heart and my mind stay tuned to you, and I am healed, spiritually, emotionally, and physically.

In Christ, I am filled with the knowledge of your will, Father, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding, and I walk worthy of you, fully pleasing to you.

By your grace and presence in me, I am fruitful in every good work, and I increase in my personal communion and fellowship with you.

In that way, I am able to walk today in your good and pleasing and perfect will. I rejoice in hope. I am patient in tribulation, and I am instant in prayer!

Acts 28; Romans 1&3; 2 Corinthians 5

Thank you, Father, that the message of your salvation has come to me, and I have heard it. You have given me ears to hear and a heart to understand; eyes to see and a new nature to perceive; a soft heart and understanding of your sweet gift.

I am saved and lifted up by your gospel. It is your power for my salvation and for everyone who believes. You have shown me your righteousness accredited to me through faith in Jesus as your Christ and my Lord and Savior. Now I live by faith, faith to faith.

By the deeds of the law no flesh is justified. Your righteousness, Father, comes through faith in Jesus, for all have sinned and fallen short of your glory, but through faith in Jesus, as our propitiation, by your grace, we are justified and redeemed. You pass over our sins. You, Father, are just and the justifier of all who have faith in Jesus

I am in Christ, and I am a new creation. Old stuff of me has passed away, and behold, all of me is now new. I am reconciled to you, Father, through Jesus Christ, and I have become your righteousness.
