Most Beloved Savior, I am honored that You created me for Your glory … called me by name … and, formed me in Your image. I accept the fact that I was created for Your pleasure … to lead a righteous life reflecting Your goodness to others and to worship You as an expression of my love. As a result, I’ve made it my goal to lead a life that makes You proud and to speak of Your goodness and mercy without reservation. In my heart, I know You are good and Your mercy endures forever. You’ve said I’m a “living stone” that has been selected for the building of a spiritual house where You will receive praise, honor and glory. I am also a part of a chosen generation, a royal priesthood and a holy nation. I have no doubt that You are the one true God and I am extremely grateful for the loving kindness You’ve shown to me. I once lived in darkness but now I’ve been ushered into Your marvelous light.
I never want to forget to do good and give thanks for all of Your blessings. I believe that You created all things and sustain them by Your awesome power and will. When the sun comes up in the morning, I give thanks for Your gift of another day. When the sun goes down and the stars come out and I settle in to sleep, I place my life in Your hands to preserve it and keep it safe. I know that by placing my trust in You and believing that You are My Savior, I am able to please You. As I continue to seek a deeper and more meaningful relationship with You, I know that my life will be filled with Your favor and blessings. By striving to become fruitful and increasing in my knowledge of You, I will find my way to hope, peace and joy. Help me in not conforming to the world and through reading, meditation and prayer have my thinking become more like Yours.
You mean everything to me and by prayer, supplication, intercession and thanksgiving I will work to keep the door to Your heart opened wide. I will hold fast to Your words to help me through my toughest times and I will reject doubt when it comes to steal my blessings. You have told me that my words have the power of life and death, so I will try to always speak the words of life and happiness that You proclaimed. I know that You take pleasure in those who hold You in high regard and walk in Your ways. My hope and future have been put in Your hands because of my deep, abiding trust in You. By living in the flesh, I cannot please you but, if I live in the Spirit, He will guide me into truth and show me the ways of righteousness. Because of my desire to please You, I pledge to keep Your commandments and do the things that are pleasing in Your sight. And it’s in Jesus’ name I pray. AMEN!!
Psalms 147:11 The Lord takes pleasure in those who fear Him. In those who hope in His mercy.
