Heavenly Father, thank You for Your grace and mercy, and for sending Your Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to save me from my sin and give me eternal life. Thank You that by grace through faith, I can abide in Christ and His Spirit can abide in me, producing spiritual fruit and enabling me to live a life of obedience. Help me to speak the truth in love, to proclaim Your Word boldly, and to be ready to give an answer for the hope that is within me. Help me to love those who hate me and to pray for those who persecute me for His name's sake and for the glory of God the Father. Thank You that I have been given the ministry of reconciliation and for giving me the privilege of being Your disciple. May I live and work to Your praise and glory. This I pray Jesus' name, AMEN.
