Prayer for January 17th, 2024
Good Friday morning, God —thank you!
I am a new creation in Christ; therefore, I am not of the world. If I were of the world, the world would love me as its own, but because I am not, most of the world hates me, and that’s okay. There is no other place I’d rather be than right by your side, God —in Jesus, hallelujah, Amen!
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
