A Scripture and a Prayer: “A New Creation”

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” (2 Corinthians 5:17)

Prayer:

Lord, I want to thank you for this great and precious promise of my past staying there, in the past. How those things that used to define me no longer do, because through faith in Jesus as my Savior and Lord I have now become a new creation, and that my life is now lived completely new in You. There is nothing better than that. I also pray that I can come into a deeper and more profound knowledge of You and of Your love, mercy, grace, holiness, and righteousness so that I may live in a way that hastens the coming of Your kingdom, and for Your will be done here on earth as You have decreed in heaven. And this I ask in Jesus’s name. AMEN
