Romans 12

Thank you, Father, for giving me a measure of faith. Continue to transform me, Lord. Renew my mind by your holy word and your Spirit dwelling in me so that, today, I will live in your perfect will.

Today I am a member of your body, the church. We are many members in one body with Jesus Christ as the head, and individually we, as your children, are members of one another.

We have gifts that differ according to your grace, father, but we all use our gift to minister as you decide.

Today, Holy Spirit, fill me and lead me that my love for others would be real and right, that I would honor others and be diligent to serve with joy, and that I would be fervent in spirit.

Today, Lord, because of your grace, I rejoice in hope, I am patient in tribulation, and I continue instant in prayer.

Psalms 118 & 119

I give thanks to you, Lord, for you are good and your mercy endureth forever. Jesus, the Christ, is your chief cornerstone. I believe and receive him as my Lord and Savior.

His life and your provision of him as propitiation for my sins is marvelous in my sight. He is the way that you have provided, and I rejoice and I am glad in it.

You have answered my needs and you have become my salvation. In Christ you have opened to me the gates of righteousness. You have called me and moved me so that I would go through those gates and enter your kingdom.

With your word you have cleansed my ways. Your word is hidden in my heart so that I will not sin against thee, father. You deal bountifully with me that I may live to keep your word.

You open my eyes and I see the wondrous things of your law. Now I see through your spirit and I see that I am a sorjourner in a strange land.

2 Corinthians 5; Psalms 119

Thank you, Father, that by your grace you impute Jesus’ righteousness to my account. To justify me you made Jesus, who knew no sin, to be sin for me, so that I become righteousness before you, father, in Christ.

Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness. Your law is truth. Your commandments are my delight. You give me understanding and, in understanding you, I receive eternal life.

I rise in the morning and call out to you, father. I find hope in your word and in your presence with me through the Holy Spirit.

You revive me according to your word. Great are your tender mercies to me, Lord. My heart stands in awe of your word. I rejoice in your word. I have peace in your word and nothing causes me to stumble.

I find hope in your salvation. I am a doer of your word. Your word enlivens my soul. I love your word, and the joy of your promises, and the wisdom of your precepts. All my ways are before you, father. I rest in you.

Romans 10 & 9

Lord Jesus, I put my faith in you. You are the end of the law of righteousness. Help my unbelief. Strengthen my faith every day, Lord.

By your grace and for your purposes, father, you elected me before I was born that your purposes would stand. You chose to love me. Thank you, Father.

You have mercy and compassion on me. That is not because of my great will or “good” behavior, rather it is because you are almighty God and you will have mercy on whom you will and you will harden whom you will.

I am formed by you. It is not my place to question your purposes with me. You, father, are the potter and the potter has power over the clay.

I thank you that you chose to place me in Christ and thereby, because of Jesus’ righteousness, you made me a vessel of honor, and you made known the riches of your glory on vessels of mercy.

Psalms 19; Colossians 3; Psalms 19

Fill me today, Father, with your word. Holy Spirit, open my eyes to the word and to your glorious presence in me that I would set my heart on things above and not on the things of this world.

Today, by your power, Holy Spirit, the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart will be acceptable in your sight, oh Lord.

Your law, oh Lord, is perfect and it converts my soul. Your testimony is sure and your words make me wise. Your statutes are right and they give joy to my heart. Your commandments are pure and they enlighten me. Fearing you is clean and cleanses me forever. Your judgments are altogether true and righteous.

I desire your presence in me, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Your truth and light and conversion and joy and temperance are better than gold, lots of gold. Your presence and your word is sweet to my taste. Your presence and your word are glorious.

Romans 8

By your grace, father, you predestined me to be born again and to be transformed by being conformed to the image of your son, my Lord and Savior, Jesus, the Christ.

This is all your gracious, supernatural work. You predestined me. You called me. You justified me, and you glorify me. I am sanctified and glorified by your presence with me and in me. Your Holy Spirit, father, fills me and leads me.

Holy Spirit, you help me in my weakness. You make intercession for me. You search my heart and you renew my mind so that, I begin to know, and to see, and to follow, and to like the will of God, my father.

I am no longer led by the flesh because you, God the Spirit, dwell in me. My body is dead because of sin but my spirit is alive forever because of righteousness.

You, the Spirit that raised Christ Jesus from the dead, dwell in me and you give life to my mortal body and peace and joy to my soul.

Romans 8; 2 Peter 1; Ephesians 2

Thank you, Father, that nothing can separate me from your love for me which is poured out, and poured into me, in Christ Jesus, my Lord.

Through your divine, everlasting, and perfect love, I am more than a conqueror. By your loving grace and Jesus’ sacrifice and righteousness, I am set free from all the guilt, condemnation, fear, and regret that could be mine because of my past rebellion and selfishness.

No accusations can cloud my joy because you, father, are for me. With Christ you have freely given me all things that pertain to life and godliness through my living knowledge of you, father.

I do not deserve such forgiveness and peace, but you give it to me as a free gift, and I humbly receive it as the only true way of life.

Romans 7 & 6; Galatians 2

Even though my flesh is weak towards sin, I myself serve the law of God. You, father, have delivered me from this body of death through Jesus Christ, my Lord. Thank you, Father.

In my inward man, that is my new man, I delight in your law, father. I reckon myself to be dead indeed to sin but alive to you, father, in Jesus Christ, my Lord. By your grace and presence in me, I am no longer slave to sin.

Instead, I have been set free from sin and I have become a slave to you, father. In Christ I have the fruit of holiness and the end, everlasting life. The wages of sin is death, but your gift to me, Father, through faith in Jesus Christ, is eternal life.

I am baptized into Christ Jesus’s death; buried with him in baptism, and now raised from the dead by your glory, father. Now I walk in newness of life. It is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me.

Psalms 73; Colossians 3; Psalms 73

Lord, thank you for my salvation and for your presence with me. You guide me with your counsel and afterward you receive me to glory.

I have you and you have me. I am hidden with Christ in you, father, hidden in the heavenlies. Your wisdom and presence free me from this world so there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.

My flesh and my heart may fail, but you, father, are the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

It is tempting to be envious or judgmental of the arrogant and wicked. They scoff and speak with malice. They set their mouths against heaven and their tongue struts through the earth.

But you, Lord, have shown me their end. You have set them on slippery places. You make them fall to ruin. They are destroyed and swept away.

So, it is not my place to be bitter or brutish about the folly of the ungodly. I pray for them and turn them over to you. As for me and my walk, I draw close to you. You are my refuge, and my thoughts are your thoughts.

Psalms 103

You, o Lord, have established your throne in heaven. Your kingdom rules over all. You are merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.

I bless you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, with all that is within me; with all that I am. I praise your holy name. I remember and ruminate on all your benefits.

You forgive my iniquities, you heal all my diseases, you redeem my life from destruction, you crown me with loving kindness and tender mercies, you satisfy my mouth with good things, my youth is renewed like the eagles.

I fear you, Lord. Your mercy to me is divine, beyond my earthly understanding. You remove my transgressions from me as far as the east is from the west.

You know me, Father. You know I am short term like grass, but you care for me would divine pity. You have mercy on me from everlasting to everlasting.
