John 17; Romans 1; Colossians 3; John 17

Lord Jesus, God our father has glorified you. He has given you authority over all flesh, and in that authority, you have given me eternal life. This is eternal life that I know God the Father, the only true God, because I know you, Lord Jesus, as my Lord and Savior.

The Father glorified you, Lord Jesus, and declared you to be the Son of God in power, according to the Spirit of Holiness, by your resurrection from the dead. Now, you are seated with the Father in the heavenlies in the glory that you had before the world existed.

You gave me the word that the Father had given you, and I received that word and have come to know the truth. You, Lord Jesus, are the Messiah sent by the Father.

I am yours, and because I am yours, I am the Father’s as well. I am one with you Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. You keep me, and you guard me. Your joy fills me. I am in this world but no longer of this world. You sanctify me in your truth; your word is truth.

2 Timothy 2; Neamiah 9; Colossians 2

Father, in your mercy, you granted me repentance and led me to the knowledge of your truth. I came to my senses and escaped from the snare of the devil who had taken me captive through the lust of my flesh.

I turned and cried out to you, and you heard me, and you delivered me from my selfish self. You are gracious and merciful, Father. You are my God and my Savior.

You, Father, are ready to forgive, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love. Not only did you forgive me, but you justified me by and in Christ Jesus.

You redeemed me from foolishness. You gave me your Good Spirit to fill me, to instruct me, and to lead me. You gave me daily bread from the mouth and life of Jesus. You gave me the cleansing blood of Jesus to satisfy my thirst for true righteousness.

Now, in Christ, I am complete and lacking in nothing. I am alive forever in Christ, filled with him who is the head of all rule and authority.

Ephesians 2; Isaiah 35

Hallelujah, Lord, thank you for your great mercy. I was dead in my trespasses and sins, following the course of this world, and snared by lust and filth, but you, Father, made me alive together with Christ. By your grace, you saved me. You bought me back, and raised me up, and seated me in the heavenly places in Christ.

Now, I see, and I know your glory and your majesty, Father. In you, my hands are strengthened, and my feeble knees are made firm. In you, Lord Jesus, I am strong, and I do not fear. You have come and saved me, and you will come again with vengeance and recompense for all that is against you.

You have opened my eyes and unstopped my ears. I leap with joy like a deer, and I sing praise to you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. You refresh me and provide for me in this dry and foolish land.

You have shown me your way of salvation, Father. Jesus is the way. He is the highway to holiness. He is my savior. He is righteousness for me. In Christ, I belong to you. In Christ, I am ransomed, and I am anointed with everlasting joy.

John 20, 6, & 3

Thank you, Father, for your scripture that is written so that I may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing, I may have life in his name.

In accordance with your will, Father, by your grace and quickened by your Holy Spirit, I looked upon Jesus, your son, and I believed in him as your Messiah, and I was given eternal life and the promise of being raised from the dead.

For I have been born again, born from above, and now I can see your kingdom, Father. I have been born of water and again of your Spirit. That which is born of flesh is flesh, and that which is born of Spirit is spirit.

I see you lifted up, Lord Jesus. I gaze upon you, Lord. You are light to my soul. Now I come to the light, and I receive you as my Lord and Savior.

I believe in you, Lord Jesus, as my Lord and Savior, and in that faith, I have eternal life with God our father, and I am delivered from the wrath of God.

2 Corinthians 4 & 5

Thank you, Father, that you shone your divine light into my heart. You drove out the darkness with the light of the knowledge of your glory in me, through Jesus Christ in me.

Now I know I have your spirit in me like a treasure in a clay jar. Your surpassing power dwells in me not because of my works, but because of your grace poured out on me.

So, I am greatly encouraged even though for a while my outward man ages, and even though the world around me brings trouble, and perplexity, and tribulations. By your grace and presence, my mortality is swallowed up by your eternal life.

Now I live aware of the death of Jesus in his body, so that the life of Jesus is manifested in my mortal flesh. I know that you, Father, who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead, will raise me also with Jesus and bring me into your presence.

So, I am always of good courage. Whether I am at home in this body or away and present with you, Father, my aim is to please you.

Philippians 1; Romans 5

Fill me, Holy Spirit, and take charge of me in every way that my conduct today would be worthy of the Gospel of Christ. Today I stand fast, in one spirit, with one mind, striving together with others for the faith of the gospel, and not in any way terrified, or discouraged, or deceived by the adversaries of God.

For you, Father, have given me the gift of faith to believe and the gift of affliction so as to grow strong. I am justified before you, Father, by faith in Jesus, your Christ, and I have peace with you through him. I stand firm in that faith even in tribulation.

I know that tribulation produces perseverance, and perseverance character, and character, hope. Your divine hope does not disappoint me, Father, because your love is poured out into my heart by the Holy Spirit who you have given to me.

Exodus 15

Who is like you, oh Lord, among the “gods”? You are glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders.

In your mercy, you lead forth your people, the people who you have redeemed. You guide them with your strength to your kingdom and to your heaven.

It is not so with your enemies. They will hear and fear. Sorrow will overtake them. Their chiefs and mighty men will tremble and dread.

Your right hand, oh Lord, is glorious in power. With it, you dash your enemy to pieces. You overthrow those who rise against you. You send forth your wrath, and it consumes your enemies like stubble.

You, Father, are my strength and my song, and you have become my salvation. You are my God, and I praise you. You, great God, shall reign forever and ever!

Isaiah 26; 2 Corinthians 5; John 3; Isaiah 40 & 41

My mind is stayed on you, Father, and you keep me in perfect peace. I trust in you forever, and you are my everlasting strength.

You have appointed me for salvation. In Christ, by Christ, I have become your righteousness. I am a new creature; born from above by your Holy Spirit, Father

The old things of me have passed away, and behold, now, everything about me is new, and holy, and pleasing to you.

I am your servant. You have chosen me. You are with me, Father, therefore, I do not fear, and I am not dismayed. You strengthen me, and you uphold me with your righteous right hand.

Now I wait on you. I commune with you all day and night. I am knitted together with you. You, Father, fill me and lead me with your Holy Spirit. You renew my strength. I mount up on wings like an eagle. I run and do not grow weary. I walk and do not faint.

1 Peter 2; Romans 6; 1 Peter 2

Lord Jesus, you lived gracious in the sight of our father. You suffered for being good and godly. You suffered for me and are now an example of how I should live in pleasing to our father.

You committed no sin, neither was deceit found in your mouth. When you were reviled, you did not revile in return. When you suffered, you did not threaten, instead you continued entrusting yourself to God, our father, who is the perfect and sovereign judge.

You bore my sins in your body on the cross, that I would die to sin and live to righteousness. By your wounds, I have been justified, and reconciled back to God, and adopted into the family of God. Now, by your grace and atoning sacrifice, I am free of the penalty and power of sin.

I am dead to sin and alive to you, Father, through Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. Now I live every moment in that freedom, living as your servant, Father. I honor everyone. I love the brotherhood. I fear you, Father, and I obey the legitimate authorities.

Psalm 138 & 139; Colossians 1

Hallelujah, Father, I am the work of your hands. You fulfill your purpose for me, and you do not forsake the work of your hands.

You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. You know my coming and going. You discern my thoughts. You hem me in, behind and before. You keep your hand on me. It is wonderful to know all that.

You formed my inward parts. You knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works, Father, and I know that very well.

Before I was formed, you had recorded every one of my days, even before they happened. Your thoughts are precious to me, Father, and your attention to detail is beyond my comprehension, but it is vastly encouraging.

Search me today, Lord, and know my heart. Try me and know my thoughts. See if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Lead me, Holy Spirit, that today I will walk worthy of my Lord Jesus unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God, my Father, and in communion with you.
