I die to myself every day, that I should not wander from your commandments, that I should love you with all my heart, soul, strength and mind - and love my neighbor as myself. I have been crucified with you, Lord Jesus and it is "no longer I who live but Christ lives in me, and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me."
Dear Abba, "God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me and I to the world." Your "book of the Law shall not depart from my mouth, but I shall mediate in it day and night, that I may observe to do according to all that is written in it", Lord Jesus.
I vow to "not walk not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of the scornful, but my delight shall be in the Law of the Lord, and in His law I shall mediate day and night."
Heavenly Father, you are completely and utterly sufficient for my salvation, sanctification and glorification. You are purer than pure; upon you, there is no blemish, no stain, no defilement, no deception, no lying, no corruption, no imperfection, no sin.
Lord Jesus, you are my Redeemer, my Profit, My Priest, my Pearl, my Peace, my Physician, my Friend, my Rock, my Wall of Fire, my Spotless Lamb of God, my Hope, my Glory, my King, my Champion, my Comforter, my Counselor, my Lord of Hosts, my Light, my Vine, my Bread, my Sabbath Rest, my Everlasting Father, my Lion of Judah, my Living Word, my Eternal Spirit, my Way, my Truth and my Life.
