1 Peter 1:13-25 | Living Out our Identity

May our holy and gracious God be the One upon whom our hope rests.

As we go about our regular daily lives,
may our hope in the grace we’ve been offered
propel us to take action on behalf
of the family of God that we’ve been invited into.

May that hope be displayed through holiness in our actions
as we seek daily to become more like our perfect role model,
Jesus Christ.

As we look to the Savior who put on flesh,
who died on our behalf and rose again,
who also promises to raise us as well,
may we never settle for the ways of life
that are perishable and lesser.

May we walk in His eternal ways.
May this church be a house of overcoming.
May we be people who show what it means to be Christians.

May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you.
May the Lord lift up His countenance to you and give you peace.
