Dear God, thank you for new life in Christ! I praise you in the precious name and powerful authority of the one who suffered unspeakable pain and anguish to bring this to fruition, according to your good and perfect will. Amen.

“We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.” (Romans 6:4 ESV)
