Faith

Father, I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is your power for salvation to everyone who believes. For your righteousness is revealed in the gospel from faith to faith, just as it is written, "The righteous by faith will live." Therefore, as a partner in the heavenly calling, I take note of Jesus, the high priest whom I confess, who is faithful to the one who appointed him. The world had become my guardian until I accepted Christ, so that I could be declared righteous by faith. But now that faith has come, I am no longer under a guardian. For in Christ Jesus I am your son through faith. It is fitting that I proclaim your loyal love in the morning, and your faithfulness during the night. Your loyal kindness never ceases; Your compassions never end. They are fresh every morning; your faithfulness is abundant! My lack of belief does not nullify your faithfulness. I will act dignified, not two-faced, not given to excessive drinking, not greedy for gain, holding to the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience. I will consider it nothing but joy when I fall into all sorts of trials, because I know that the testing of my faith produces endurance. I will hold firmly to faith and a good conscience, so that I may navigate the storms of life. In the name of my Savior, Jesus Christ, Amen.
