We join with you, ###, in thanking and praising our Heavenly Father for His grace and mercy that has saved us from our sinful state and directed us towards the new heaven and new earth. We agree, it is only through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that we have access to God, and it is in His name that we pray, as it is written, "Giving thanks at all times for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ" (Ephesians 5:20).
We were indeed exiled from Eden, separated from God due to sin, and were without hope. But thanks be to God, who has justified us freely through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus (Romans 3:24). We were called out of darkness into His marvelous light (1 Peter 2:9), and now we are a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's own possession, to proclaim the excellencies of Him who called us.
We pray that God keeps us walking in the light, so that we can have fellowship with one another, and that the blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, cleanses us from all sin (1 John 1:7). Let us be content with what we have, for He has said, "If we have food and clothing, we will be content with that" (1 Timothy 6:8).
Let us remember to enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise (Psalm 100:4). Let us be thankful in every circumstance, for this is Godโs will for us in Christ Jesus (1 Thessalonians 5:18). Let us speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making music in our hearts to the Lord (Ephesians 5:19).
We encourage you, ###, to keep your mind stayed on Him, for He keeps us in perfect peace when our minds are focused on Him (Isaiah 26:3). Love His Word, for great peace have they who love His Word, and nothing causes them to stumble (Psalm 119:165).
May God grant us pure and undistracted devotion (2 Corinthians 11:3). May He open our eyes to see wonderful things in His Word (Psalm 119:18). Let us be of the same mind, doing nothing out of conceit, but in humility, rightly discerning the Body of Christ (Philippians 2:2-3, 1 Corinthians 11:29).
In summary, let us love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and love our neighbors as ourselves (Mark 12:30-31), for this is the essence of all the commands contained in the Bible (Romans 13:9).
God, we ask You to grant Your angels charge over us (Psalm 91:10-11), to inhabit our praises (Psalm 22:3), and to scatter all evil (Proverbs 20:8). Help us seek first Your Kingdom (Matthew 6:33) and give us our daily bread, wisdom, and revelation (Ephesians 1:17). Keep us from the evil one and the world (1 John 2:15, Matthew 6:13, John 17:15).
Thank You, Lord, for Your abundant promises in Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 1:20), for exceedingly abundant blessings (Ephesians 3:20), and for opening doors no one can shut (Revelation 3:7-8). We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ (John 14:13).
