All praise and honor belongs to You, My King, because Your love abounds toward me at all times and in all things. You watch over me so that I am not overcome by evil or stumble because of folly. When I’ve lost my way, You’ve come out to find me and bring me back to Your flock. You sacrificed Yourself to save me from my sins and a place in Hell. You have called me to be Your very own and have given me a purpose for my life. At times when I start to drift away from You, Your Spirit guides me back onto the right path. As I more spend time with You, I am learning to trust You and distinguish Your voice from all the others that I hear. It is a wonderful thing to be a part of Your Kingdom. What a marvelous King You are … mighty in power, fair in justice, wiser than anyone else and caring deeply for Your own. I want to be under Your leadership and guidance forever!!
I am thankful for Your faithfulness in caring for my needs. I am particularly thankful for … Your giving me life and a chance to know You … Your giving me a mission and a purpose for my life … Your saving me from sin and eternal damnation … Your being generous in meeting all of my needs … Your protection from harm and folly … Your openness in sharing all that You have and all that You know with me … teaching me the pathways to prosperity and a good life … Your giving me the Holy Spirit to be my comforter, guide and counsellor … Your decision to give me a free will and allowing me to make my own choices (good or bad) … Your allowing me to live in a country where freedom, opportunity and plenty abound … Your giving me a God-fearing family in which to be raised and their teaching me good morals and character traits … Your blessing me with the special people who compose my immediate family and the members of Your family (the church) … and, Your sharing with me love from above, my devoted family and the friends who enrich my life.
There are so many things for which to give You thanks. I am most thankful for the gift of Yourself. I treasure it the most because You gave so much so that I would have the opportunity to inherit much. I feel I am not deserving of such a rich blessing but I receive it because You gave it in love. I look forward to each day that I spend with You and I pledge my undying love and service to You for as long as You allow take a breath in this life and the next. I have a thankful heart because You dwell in it and bring to my life so many good things. And it’s in Jesus’ name I pray. AMEN!!
