Dear Lord,
We thank You for the perfect example of obedience that You have set for us in Jesus Christ. We thank You for the gift of salvation that You have provided us through His suffering. We thank You for the new covenant that You have established and for the eternal inheritance that we can receive through it. We thank You for Jesus, our founder and perfecter of faith, who endured the cross for the joy that was set before Him.
Help us to purify our souls by our obedience to Your truth, that we may love one another earnestly from a pure heart. Grant us the strength to follow Jesus’ example of obedience, that we may be worthy of the eternal salvation that You have provided.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
