God the Father knew you and chose you long ago, and his Spirit has made you holy. As a result, you have obeyed him and have been cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ.

May God give you more and more grace and peace.

Be done with all deceit, hypocrisy, jealousy, and all unkind speech. 

God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.

Lord God my Father,

You know me better than I do, help me to understand my course. Allow your Peace to be my guide and protect me from deceit. Allow your gift in me to have it’s way with courage.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
