Heavenly Father, thank You that I have heard and responded to the gospel of grace and that by believing in Jesus, I have a hope reserved for me in heaven.

Heavenly Father, thank You for the living, powerful, and glorious gospel of Christ, which was planted in my heart by many faithful witnesses. I pray that I too may be a good and faithful servant and abide in Your love, day by day, in spirit and in truth. I pray that I may bring forth the precious fruit of faith, love, hope, and righteousness. Help me to grow in grace and in a knowledge of You, to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the example of Epaphras, whose service, prayer, dedication, and faithfulness, demonstrated a life that placed Jesus in His rightful position, and whose desire was the salvation of the lost and the progressive sanctification of his fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. I pray that I may seek to share the good news of the gospel with the unsaved, encourage my brothers and sisters in Christ, pray fervently for the spiritual well-being of others, and develop an attitude of humility of heart toward my co-labourers in the gospel. Give me a teachable spirit, keep me from being offended, and enable me to live in the unity of the faith... in the bond of peace with my fellow-labourers in the gospel. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, I pray that in Your goodness and grace I would put off the things of the fleshly self and walk, moment by moment, in spirit and truth to Your praise and glory - so that others may see and benefit from my 'love in the Spirit' - and glorify You. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the glorious gospel of grace and the wonderful truths that are contained in Your Word.

This I ask in the name of Jesus Christ my Lord Who alone is worthy to be praised. AMEN.
Fill me, Father, with Your Spirit of the Vine, Christ Jesus my Lord. May I bring forth fruit, more fruit, much fruit to glorify Your Holy name. I pray in Jesus' name, my precious heavenly Vine,
Amen.
Heavenly Father, I pray for my brothers and sisters in Christ, that they may be strengthened with all power according to Your glorious might.

Heavenly Father, when I consider the enormity of Who the Lord Jesus is and what He has done to save my soul, I stand in awe of You, knowing that He was wounded for my transgressions, bruised for my iniquities, and died on the Cross so that I might be forgiven of my sins, and rose again to give me His resurrected life. I humbly kneel before You in praise and grateful thanks, for He alone is worthy. In His name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word of truth and for revealing Christ to me through the Scriptures. Thank You that He set aside His eternal glory and came to dwell among us as a Man and identified with our sinfulness so that by faith, we could be forgiven of our sins and be identified with His righteousness. Thank You that in Him, I live, and move, and have my being, and that He holds all things together by the strength of His great and mighty power. Thank You that in Christ, I have been made a child of God, through time and into eternity. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, what a glorious truth that in Christ alone my hope is found, and by His death and Resurrection, I have an assurance that I too will be raised incorruptible from the dead.

Heavenly Father, may I never forget the tremendous and terrible price that it cost You to redeem me to Yourself. I know that there is nothing that I can add to my salvation, for it was paid in full by Jesus Christ, the innocent Lamb of God. He became the sacrifice for sin so that I might be forgiven of all my sins, reconciled with You, and given the blessed hope that I will live eternally with You. I praise and thank You, Lord. In Jesus' name, AMEN.

Heavenly Father, thank You that my salvation, sanctification, and glorification, does not depend on what I do but on what Christ has already done for me. Thank You that You have promised to build Your Church and will one day present us all to the Father in heaven as a glorious Church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing, but that we will all be holy and without blemish before You. In Jesus' name I pray, AMEN.

Thank You for the indwelling Holy Spirit, Who works mightily in me when I am prepared to submit my life into His hands.

In Jesus' name, AMEN.
