PJP2 SIP 160630 - 2 Peter 1:3-11 (ESV/emphasis & paraphrase added/jaj)....O Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, Father God, we Praise You!  Lord Jesus, Your Divine Power Has Granted to us All Things That Pertain to LIFE And Godliness.  Holy Spirit, we Are in Awe that Through Your Knowledge of Him, our Lord Jesus, You Have Called us To God The Father’s Own Glory And Excellence.  Father God, Thank You, that By Your Son, our Lord Jesus’ Sacrifice, You Have Granted to us Your Precious And Very Great Promises.  Lord Jesus, Teach us Through Your Promises That Through Them we May Become Partakers of Your Divine Nature.  O Holy Spirit, we Are so Thankful that Your Presence in our Lives reassures us that we have, By Your Grace, Escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of our internal sinful desire.  Father God, For This Very Reason, Help us to Make Every Effort To Supplement our Faith With Your Virtue.  Lord Jesus, Help us to Boost Your Virtue With The Holy Spirit’s Knowledge.  Holy Spirit, May Your Knowledge Guide us to Improved Self-control.  Father God, By This Renewed Self-control, May this Bolster our Steadfastness.  Lord Jesus, Through This Steadfastness, Teach us with Clarity about Walking in Godliness with You.  Holy Spirit, through our Closer Walk in our Lord’s Godliness, May we Demonstrate a Better Brotherly Affection.  Father God, Through it all, May we Grow to Show Your LOVE in All we Say, Think and Do.  Lord Jesus, Help us to Better Understand that If All These Qualities Are ours And Are Increasing in our Lives, Then They Keep us from being ineffective or unfruitful In Your Knowledge, O Lord Jesus Christ.  Holy Spirit, Guide and Lead us to Share, especially with whoever lacks These Qualities due to Not Knowing You.  Father God, Give us the Right Word to Say that to Not Know You would be the same as being so nearsighted that one would be Spiritually blind.  O Lord May we, by our Word, Thought and Deed, Help them to see that You Do Still Cleanse us of all former sins.   Lord Jesus, May we Be All The More Diligent To Confirm Your Calling And our Election to Your Saving Grace.  Holy Spirit, continue to reaffirm us that to Practice These Qualities,  You Ensure us That we Will Never fall.  Father God, Clearly it is In This Way That You Have Richly Provided for us.  Lord Jesus, Thank You, for By Your Sacrifice, You Have Opened The Entrance for us Into God The Father’s Eternal Kingdom.  In The Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, we Raise These Prayers….Amen/Amen/jaj….
