Heavenly Father

Romans 5

Thank you, Heavenly Father, that I have peace with you through my Lord Jesus Christ. Through you, Lord Jesus, I have access by faith into your divine grace in which I stand and rejoice in hope of your glory.

Even in tribulation I glory because I know tribulation works in me and produces perseverance, and perseverance works my character to conform me to you, Christ Jesus, and godly character fills me with sure hope, a hope that does not disappoint because the very love of God dwells in me.

That divine love is poured out into my heart by the Holy Ghost whom you, father, have given to me.

So, I am justified by faith, and I rejoice in you, father, through my Lord Jesus, who has reconciled me to you, my Heavenly Father.

Covered

Romans 4,3,4

I believe your gospel, Father God, and that is accounted to me as righteousness. By your grace I am justified by faith apart from deeds. For I have sinned and fallen short of your glory, but by your grace I am justified through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.

You sent Jesus forth as my propitiation by his blood. Therein you demonstrated your righteousness because in your forbearance, you, father, passed over my sins. You were just with your judgment of sin, and you were the justifier of me, your needy child.

I am blessed as my lawless deeds are forgiven. My sins are covered. I am blessed because you, father, do not impute my sin on me.

Your promise is sure to me by faith according to your grace. I do not waver at your promises, father, but I am strengthened in faith and give glory to you. I am fully convinced that you are able to perform all that you have promised.

Clearly Seen

Romans 1

Thank you, father, for faith to believe your gospel. It is your power to salvation for everyone who believes. In the gospel your divine, imputed, righteousness is revealed from faith to faith. The truth that,” the just shall live by faith”, is revealed to all who will believe.

The gospel also reveals your wrath, father, against all the ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness.

You, father, have shown yourself to mankind. Since the creation of the world your invisible attributes are clearly seen and can be understood by looking at creation. So man is without excuse if he does not glorify you.

Thank you for choosing me and calling me into your kingdom. By your spirit and by your word, you have put the Light into my heart. My thoughts have become your thoughts, and they renew my mind, and I am transformed. I glory in you, the incorruptible, Almighty God, and I glory in Jesus, your son and my Savior.

Alive Together

Ephesians 2

Thank you, father, for your great mercy that even when I was dead in my rebellion and trespasses you, in your great love for me, made me alive together with Christ (by your grace you saved me).

You raised me up, and made me to sit together with you in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. You have shown the exceeding riches of your grace for ages to come through your kindness to me in Christ Jesus.

By your grace I have been saved through faith. All of that is a gift from you and not because of any good in me, so I do not boast except about your grace, father, and your courage, Lord Jesus.

I am your workmanship, father, created in Christ Jesus for good works which you ordained beforehand that I would walk in.

There was a time when I was a stranger to faith in you, father, but now in Christ Jesus, even though I was once far off, now I am brought near to you, father God, by the blood of Christ. I am reconciled to you forever, my heavenly father. Hallelujah.

Everlasting Consolation

Matthew 11; 2 Thessalonians 2&3

Today I come unto you, Lord Jesus. Thank you that you have carried my burdens and done the labor that I could never have done.

I take your yoke up on me, and I learn from you. I become meek and humble in your presence, and I find rest for my soul. By your grace and divine power my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

You, Lord Jesus, and God, our father, have loved me and given me everlasting consolation and good hope. You comfort my heart, and you establish me in every good word and work.

Thank you, Lord, that your word fills me with your glory, and that I am delivered from unreasonable and wicked men. You are faithful, father, and you have established me, and you guard me from the evil one.

I have confidence in you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, that you do, and that you will do, all that you have promised. Today, Holy Spirit, you direct my heart into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.

Standfast and Hold To

2 Thessalonians 1&2

Thank you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, for your grace and peace on me and in me. Thank you for the promise of your return, and for your victory over the son of perdition, and for your vengeance over those who do not know you and who do not obey.

Thank you, father, that by your grace you have counted me worthy of calling me and filling me with your goodness. You have worked out faith in me through the power of your spirit and your word, so that Jesus Christ would be glorified in me.

Thank you, father, that from the beginning you chose me for salvation through sanctification by your spirit and by belief in your truth. You called me to you through your gospel, so that I would be filled with the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. In faith I stand fast and hold to all that you have taught me, Heavenly Father.

The Coming of My Lord

1 Thessalonians 1,4&5

Thank you, Holy Spirit, for convicting me of my sin and my hateful past, and for granting me repentance, so that I would turn from selfish, self-centered idolatry to serve the living and true God. And so I serve and wait on Jesus, the son, who has delivered me from the wrath to come.

Now Christ dwells in me, and I am led by the very Spirit of God. I walk worthy of almighty God who has called me into his own kingdom and glory.

I aspire to lead a quiet life and to mind my own business, and to work with joy with my hands, that I may walk properly with all that are around me, and that I may lack nothing in my life.

Today, I rejoice always. I pray without ceasing, and in everything I give thanks. I live in God, my father’s will. I commune with, and I am led by God the Spirit.

You, father, the God of peace, sanctify me completely, and my whole spirit, soul, and body is preserved blameless for the coming of my Lord Jesus Christ.

Increase and Abound

1 Thessalonians 2,3&4

Lord God, fill me, Holy Spirit, that I will be gentle and joyful, and well pleased to impart to those who you have made dear to me your gospel and also my own life.

Lead me today, Holy Spirit, that I would walk worthy of God, my father, who has called me into his own kingdom and glory.

With gladness, father, I receive your word. I welcome it as truth, real divine truth, that works effectively in me.

Lord, make me increase and abound in love for others and establish my heart blameless in holiness before you.

Thank you, father, that you sanctify me. I abstain from immoral behavior. By your grace I possess my own vessel in sanctification and honor free from sinful passion. For you, father, did not call me to uncleanness, but instead you called me to holiness which I receive and agree to. Thank you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Member of the Household

2 Timothy 3; Ephesians 2

Lord, today I continue to walk in the things that you have taught me through your holy scripture, and through the witnesses you have put in my life, and through the witness of your Spirit to my spirit. By faith in Jesus you have made me wise unto salvation.

Your scriptures are words inspired by you, father. They are profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness so that, each person of God is complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

For each of us who are yours are your workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which you, father, ordained beforehand we would walk in.

By your grace, and word, and presence in me, I am no longer a stranger and foreigner. But now, hallelujah, I am a fellow citizen with the saints, and a member of your household, father God.

Darkness Is Long Past

1 John 2 & 1; 2 Timothy 2; Romans 12

Lord Jesus, you yourself are the propitiation for my sins. Thank you for your perfectly efficacious sacrifice. You are my advocate with God, our father.

Your Holy Spirit fills me so that I do not continue in sin. If I do sin or drift towards sin, your Holy Spirit convicts and teaches me. I confess and receive your forgiveness and cleansing. You grant me repentance and I move on.

I keep my eyes on your word. Your word renews my mind, and I am transformed. You abide in me, and I abide in you, and I walk just as you walked, Lord Jesus.

For me darkness is long past, and your divine light shines in my life. I am strong in you, Lord. Your word, oh lord, abides in me. By your grace on me and your presence in me I have overcome the wicked one.
