Simplicity

Father, I keep the simplicity of the gospel. Through the death of Jesus I am reconciled to You, my God, and through the resurrection of Jesus I am given new life to overcome all the works of the flesh, Satan and the world. I am in Christ, Christ is in God, and God is in me. I am saved by grace through faith. There is no other way. Apart from You I can do nothing. So I come to You with child like faith. I believe in my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus was raised from the dead so I have received eternal life. When I confess my sins You are faithful and just to forgive me and cleanse me of all unrighteousness.

So I quiet my soul of all the talk between my emotions, thoughts and will so that I may hear Your voice and follow You to green pastures and still waters. Let Your will be done. Let Your ways become my ways so that I may stay in rest. How You deliver me is too wonderful for me to know so I humble myself

Sleep

Father, You cause me to lie down in green pastures in peace and sleep and cause me to dwell in safety. I do not rise up early or go to bed late trying to provide for myself but recognize it is You who builds the house and watches the wall where I am to dwell. I labor throughout the day sowing seed and in the night my sleep is sweet because I do not worry how You are causing it to grow.

Joy

Joy

Father, thank you for the joy of your salvation; I am of good cheer because my sins have been forgiven. I rejoice that my name is written in heaven. You have given me all things to enjoy including the fruit of the spirit joy. I delight in your presence and the joy by the answer of my mouth. In faithfulness of a little I enter into your joy and by keeping your commandment of love your joy remains in me and it is full.
