I bless You, My Lord, and I praise You with all of my heart. For great are Your works and awesome are the marvelous things You have accomplished on behalf of Your people. Glorious and majestic is Your name and Your goodness is unmatched throughout the earth. I cannot forget Your compassionate kindnesses toward me. You provide all of my needs, You comfort me in my sorrow and You’ve given a purpose to my life. Because of Your faithfulness, You keep Your promises and honor them all. You mean what You say and You say what You mean. You have shown me the wonder of Your power through answered prayers. You have paid the price to redeem me from sin and death through the sacrifice of Yourself on Calvary. Through that sacrifice, I am allowed to draw closer to You rather than remain a stranger. If I follow in Your ways and adopt Your precepts as my own, I know that I will grow in wisdom and find direction for my life. Because of Your loving kindness, it is easy to give You my heart.
As I go through life, I will praise You from the rising of the sun to the setting of the same … for there is none like You. When I am downtrodden, You lift my spirits … whatever I lose, You recover it for me … when my faith and strength ebb away, You restore them … when problems overtake me, You cast them aside … for with You, all things are possible. As each moment passes, I know that I can count on You to be my constant help and protection. I am Your child and that is why I am so blessed. All of the heavens and earth are Yours and You are generous in sharing their bounties with me. I love You, Lord, because You are attentive to my needs and treat me with respect. When I am overcome with troubles and sorrow, You wipe away my tears and comfort me with loving tenderness. Because of You compassion, I gladly make You an offering of my heart.
O King, You are gracious and full of mercy. I rest in the peace of belonging to You and experiencing Your goodness. You have delivered me from tears of sorrow, feet that stumble and a soul damned for eternity. How can I ever repay You for the kindnesses You have shown to me? By listening when You speak … obeying each command … participating with You in doing good … walking by faith and not by sight … remaining humble in times of good fortune … spending time in daily prayer … I can keep open the doors of communication with You. I rejoice in the blessings that you share with me each day and I feel blessed above all men. It is for all of these reasons that I choose to give my heart to You. And it’s in Jesus’ name I pray. AMEN!!
Proverbs 23:26 My son, give me your heart and let your eyes keep to my ways.
