Jesus’ Substitutionary Atonement

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ Name, thank you for Jesus taking the punishment for my sin. 1 Peter 2:24 says that Jesus, “Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness-by whose stripes you are healed.”

The Holy Spirit’s Confirmation of New Birth

Lord, thank you for having the Holy Spirit confirm for me my new birth in Jesus Christ. Romans 8:16-17 “The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs-heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.”

Living to Receive the Crown of Life

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ Name, direct me to live James 1:12. “Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.”

Jesus’ Example of Prayer

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ Name, I ask You to frequently direct me to follow Jesus’ example of prayer in Mark 1:35. “Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.”

God’s Good Thoughts About a Believer

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’s Name, thank you for the wonderful promise You give for the believer in Jesus Christ in Jeremiah 29:11. “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”

Being a Doer of God’s Word

Loving Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ Name, I ask You to direct me to practice James 1:22. “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.“
