Lord Jesus, I come to You with thanks for the opportunity to speak to You directly. Thank You that Your work on the cross and Your resurrection split the veil between us. I pray that I can live my life in simplicity and godly sincerity, covered by Your grace and mercy.
I drank the sour water of life before I repented and believed. Now, I drink the sweet living water only You can provide. There is no returning to where and what I was before You. Your love is healing and life giving. I bring my praise in Your name above all names, in Your authority that is greater than any other, according to the good and perfect will of the Father. Amen.
“For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that we conducted ourselves in the world in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God, and more abundantly toward you.” (2 Corinthians 1:12 NKJV)
