My Father and My God,
You are the Sovereign of this universe: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, ruling and reigning according to Your good pleasure and purpose.
You are majestic in holiness, awesome in power, and infinite in knowledge.
I am humbled that You are mindful of me, as David declared in Psalm 8, “What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him?”
You have regenerated me, redeemed me, reconciled me, forgiven me, cleansed me, washed me, adopted me, justified me, and are sanctifying me, and You alone provide me with all things necessary for life and godliness.
I know that all I have need of You provide because You are my Good Shepherd Who cares for His sheep.
You have taken me off the broad road that leads to destruction and set my feet upon the narrow road that leads to life.
Holy Spirit, You have caused me to know and believe Your truth and have blessed me with the godly desire to continually reject the lies of Satan, sin, and this fallen world, which is under Satan’s rule and deception.
You continually teach me Your truth and reveal Jesus to me more and more and cause me to grow in His likeness.
You cause me to walk in wisdom. You humble me in Your sight. Keep working in me as You have promised!
You teach me to love God, Your Word, my brothers and sisters in Christ, my neighbors, and even my enemies.
Lord Jesus, I am one who is not worthy of the least of Your blessings and truth.
I am needy, helpless, and hopeless apart from Your grace!
In and of myself, I am only worthy of damnation for I have broken all Your commandments.
Yet in gracious wonder, I don’t stand before God in and of myself but I am forever spiritually united to You, Lord Jesus, and am covered and clothed by Your righteousness, holiness, and perfect satisfaction.
Heavenly Father, I know You love me for the sake of Your Son, Jesus Christ, the One Who has fulfilled all the righteous requirements of Your Law in my place. Christ is the One who went to the cross and suffered for all my sins.
He was the One condemned in my place and on my behalf.
He arose from the dead, which declared that You have received His atoning work on my behalf and also on behalf of all that You gave to Christ.
Praise the Lord! I am eternally forgiven because of Jesus! I am eternally blessed, forever loved, forever cared for, I have everlasting life, I am washed from my sins, I am adopted into the family of God, and my name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life because of Jesus!
Oh, how I love Jesus!
O God: Father, Son, Holy Spirit, I am humbled by Your love, grace, mercy, and Your sustaining and transforming work of sanctification.
I am forever thankful that You loved me from before the foundation of the world, that You love me now, and You continually provide for me and have promised to never leave me nor forsake me!
I am humbled and thankful to be one of Your adopted children.
Humble me when I obey, and discipline me when I stray!
May I forever praise Your holy name!
In Christ’s holy name I pray!
Amen!
