Awake to righteousness
And do not sin.
I am a son of light and of the day. Therefore I will not sleep, Lord God, as others do, but will watch and be sober.
It is high time to awake out of sleep, for now my salvation is nearer than when I first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand.
Therefore I cast off the works of darkness, and I put on the armor of light. I take up the whole armor of God, that I may be able to withstand in the evil day and having done all, to stand. I cast away from myself all the transgressions which I have committed, and myself a new heart and a new spirit.
I lay aside all the filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save my soul.
As a little child, I abide in Jesus, that when He appears, I may have confidence and not be ashamed before His coming.
If I know that He is righteous, I know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him.
Lord God, only in Your strength
can I live a righteous life that pleases You
Please empower me!
