Praying from 1 Peter 3:21 relating to Salvation, Baptism, Resurrection
Dear God, I come before you today claiming the promise of baptism. I thank you for the symbol of baptism which now saves me. I understand that it is not just the physical act of putting away the filth of the flesh, but it is the answer of a good conscience toward you. I pray that through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, I may have a good conscience before you. I ask that you help me to live a life that is pleasing to you and to always remember the promise of baptism. Thank you for your love and grace. Amen.

1 Peter 3:21
