Follow what you heard from me as the pattern of true teaching. Follow it with faith and love because you belong to Christ Jesus. ~ 2 Timothy 1:12 (NIRV)
True and faithful Lord, you kindly give us your directions for life. But even though I belong to Christ Jesus I don't always follow our instructions. That's not right. That needs to change. And I am counting on you to change me so that I am living according to your word. I consider it a privilege to belong to Christ. Please fill my life with his faith and love. Amen.
