“I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete.” John 15:11

Dear Lord Jesus,

Thank You for the unspeakable joy when we crucify our flesh and follow You.

Thank You for a heart that is transformed and turned from stone.

Thank You for eyes that see and ears that hear.

Thank You for the invitation to carry our cross and to follow You.

Thank You that through You, we can do all things.

Thank You for helping us understand the spiritual battle and how Satan works to sift us like wheat.

Thank You that through You, we can live in the Spirit and experience the fruit of joy, love, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and self-control.

Thank You, Lord Jesus, amen.
