“Beloved, I urge you as aliens and exiles to abstain from the desires of the flesh that wage war against the soul.” 1 Peter 2:11

Dear Heavenly Father,

I praise You and thank You for creating me for a time such as this. Thank You for choosing me and Your willingness to grow, shape, and form me into the man You designed me to be.

Grant that I fully empty myself daily, so that I am able to be filled with Your Spirit, and become dead to sin; truly free.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for You are with me. When I was younger, You chose to be with me. Now that I am older, I choose to be with You. Thank You for Your guidance and direction as I live with Jesus as the truth —living with Him not just as my Savior, but as the Lord of my life. Amen.
