Holy Father, as I awake to
this new day, grant that I will know your righteousness and yours alone, grant
that I may be found in Christ and his righteousness, and please grant that the
Holy Spirit will keep an awareness of Christ’s righteousness alive within my
heart and mind throughout today – grant that I may be kept and protected in the
righteousness of Jesus Christ.
Lord Jesus, that I may see you
throughout today, be found in you each moment, and that you would deliver me
from myriad temptations to look to my own righteousness, my own deeds of merit,
my own devices – that I by your grace will cast them all away as filthy
disgusting rags and be found clothed in the white linen of your righteousness,
justification, and sanctification – in the white garment you have purchased for
me on your Cross.
Holy Spirit, that you would
please open the eyes of my heart, the windows of my soul – to behold Jesus and
Jesus alone and to desire no one besides Him; and that I might hear the Father’s
voice again and again, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
In a world of the temporal, may
I be clothed with the eternal garment of Jesus Christ; may I learn to wear
today that garment that I shall wear with all the saints in eternity – the white
linen of the righteousness of Jesus Christ.
