1 Peter  3:18-22

My Beloved, the Father has given You dominion over all things in heaven on earth and under the earth.  All things are subject to Your rule and authority and me too Lord.  Command me to do Your will and grant me the grace I need to obey and fulfill Your command.  Take away all fear, all self-consciousness and all timidity. You have given me a spirit of boldness, let me be courageous in every situation.

Beloved, angels ministered to You and You minister to me.  As I try to follow in Your footsteps You will help me turn away from the world and all its temporary allurements.  You will strengthen my desire to follow You alone.  As I immerse myself in Your Word, You will increase and strengthen my faith, hope and love.  Thank You.
