In Christ, the old is gone and the new has come.
You walk each day with a fresh identity rooted in His grace.
Our Father (The Lord’s Prayer)
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.
A Psalm of Praise and Thanks
Psalm 66
All the earth bows down to You; they sing praise to You; they sing praise to Your name.” Come and see what God has done, how awesome His works in man’s behalf.
He turned the sea into dry land; they passed through the waters on foot. There we rejoiced in Him. He rules forever by His power; His eyes watch the nations. Let not the rebellious exalt themselves.
Bless our God, O peoples; let the sound of His praise be heard. He has preserved our lives and kept our feet from slipping.
For You, O God, have tested us; You have refined us like silver. You brought us into a net; You laid a heavy burden on our backs. You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but You brought us out to a place of abundance.
I will come into Your house with burnt offerings; I will fulfill my vows to You—the vows my lips uttered and my mouth spoke when I was in distress.
I will offer You burnt offerings of fatlings, with the smoke of rams; I will offer bulls and goats. Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will tell what He has done for me.
I cried out to Him with my mouth, and His praise was on my tongue. If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.
But God has surely listened; He has heard the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer or His loving devotion from me.
A Psalm for Mercy and Help
Psalm 25
No one who waits for You will ever be put to shame, but those who are faithless without cause will be disgraced. Show me Your ways, O LORD; teach me Your paths.
Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; I wait for You all day long. Remember, O LORD, Your compassion and Your loving devotion, for they are from of old.
Remember not the sins of my youth or my rebellious ways; according to Your loving devotion remember me, because of Your goodness, O LORD. Good and upright is the LORD; therefore He shows sinners the way.
He leads the humble in what is right and teaches them His way. All the paths of the LORD are loving devotion and faithfulness to those who keep His covenant and His testimonies.
For the sake of Your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, for it is great. Who is the man who fears the LORD? He will show him the way he should choose.
His soul will dwell in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land. The LORD confides in those who fear Him, and He makes His covenant known to them.
My eyes are always on the LORD, for He will pull my feet out of the net. Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.
The troubles of my heart have multiplied; free me from my distress. Look upon my affliction and my misery, and forgive all my sins.
See how my enemies have multiplied and how fiercely they hate me. Guard my soul and deliver me; let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in You.
May integrity and uprightness protect me, for I wait for You. Redeem Israel, O God, from all their troubles.
Brief Prayer
Father, thank You that the old has passed away and I am made new.
Break every chain that ties me to what I once was.
Help me walk in the freedom of my new identity in Christ.
Teach me to embrace the future You have prepared for me.
When shame whispers, remind me that I am renewed by grace.
Fill me with joy for the story You are writing in my life.
May I live as a testimony of Your transforming power.
Amen.
