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 how our past stays there, in the past. How those things that used to define us no longer do, because through faith in Jesus as our Savior and Lord we are now new creations, and our lives are now lived completely new in You. There is nothing better than that. I also pray that we can come into a deeper and more profound knowledge of You and of Your love, mercy, grace, holiness, and righteousness so that we 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
