Reading: Psalm 33:10-15

LORD God,
thank you for choosing me
to be to be one of your people.
Help me to live a life that is pleasing to you,
my Father.
You watch over me.
You, O LORD are my inheritance,
and first and foremost,
I am a citizen of your eternal Kingdom.
Amen.

— — —

But you are a chosen people,
a royal priesthood,
a holy nation,
God’s special possession,
that you may declare the praises of him
who called you out of darkness
into his wonderful light.
Once you were not a people,
but now you are the people of God;
once you had not received mercy,
but now you have received mercy.
(1 Peter 2:9-10), NIV)*
