I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
2 Timothy 1:6
Dear Father,
I stand before you today, grateful for this blessed gift of grace, my salvation. As I begin this new life, this amazing beautiful life in Christ, I promise Father, to fan into flame this gift you have so lovingly given me. I promise to never take for granted the sacrifice You made in sending Your beloved Son, Jesus, to save me. I will never forget the sacrifice Christ made because He loved and honored You with His faithfulness and obedience. He picked up His cross and gave up His life for my sins, and I am so grateful for His love.
Strengthen me Father, through the grace of Jesus, to be Your instrument, to faithfully and accurately share the gospel. May Jesus Christ fill me with His wisdom and understanding so I may be obedient to Your calling, just as He was; for when I accepted Him into my heart, I became a new person. I joyfully and faithfully let go of the old me and humbly yet boldly walk forth in the steps You have established for me before the day I was born. I gladly hand my life over to my Lord and Savior, so that He may live His life through me, to do Your Will and participate in Your work, all for the glory of You, Almighty Father.
I praise You, Father, for the gift of Your Son, my Redeemer, I praise You for Your divine love and mercy, and for giving me eternal life. I glorify You, Father, and thank You for giving me Jesus; the true Bread of Life – He is the Way and He is the Shepard who loves and keeps me. I rejoice in His blessed name and I proclaim Your glory, today and all the days of my life. Thank You for counting me worthy of spending eternity with You.
In Christ’s name I pray.
Amen
