Prayer of Thanksgiving
Father, I come to you in the name of Jesus.
With the help of the Holy Spirit, and by
Your grace, I join with the heavenly host
making a joyful nosie to you, and serving
You with gladness! I come before Your presence
with singing!
Lord, I know (perceive, recognize, and understand
with approval) that You are God! It is
You Who made us, not we ourselves [and
we are Yours]! We are Your people and
the sheep of Your pasture.
Father, I enter into Your gates with thanksgiving
and present an offering of thanks. I enter
into Your courts with praise! I am thankful
and delight to say so, I bless and affectionately
praise Your name! For You are good and
Your mercy and loving-kindness are everlasting.
Your faithfulness and truth endure to all
generations. It is a good and delightful
thing to give thanks to You, O Most High.
Lord, by Your Holy Spirit perfect the fruit
of my lips. Help me draw thanksgiving
forth from my innermost resources; reach
into the most secret places of my heart that
I may offer significant thanksgiving to You,
Father.
Thank You for my parents who game me life. I am
grateful for the victories and achievements
which I have experienced in spite of my hurts--
the bruises and the abuses that boxed me in
when I was a small child. You used them
for good even though Satan intended them for
my destruction.
You prepared me to listen to the inner
voice--the voice of Your Holy Spirit.
Thank You for Your grace which is teaching me to
trust myself and others. Thank You for life
--life in all its abundance.
It was You Who gave me a desire to pray,
and I am grateful for the prayer closet
where we meet, and I thank You for Your
Word. Life is exciting, and I am grateful
that I am alive for such a time as this.
Thank You for past and present relationships.
I learn from those who oppose me and from
those who are for me. You taught me to
recognize and understand my strengths
and weaknesses. You gave me discernment
and spiritual understanding. I enter
Your gates with thanksgiving in my heart.
You are my Father. I am your child, loved,
by You unconditionally. I rejoice in You,
Lord, and give thanks at the remembrance
of Your holiness.
I am an overcomer by the blood of the
Lamb, and by the word of my testimony.
In the name of Jesus, amen.
