I Praise Our Holy God!
Join me in a prayer of thanksgiving and praise.
Holy god, I praise You. My heart is full and overflowing with thanksgiving for the blessings You pour out on me. What am I that You should love me so?
From nothing You chose to form me. I woke this morning to a new day, a day You have given me. I see the sun You made to light my day and warm me.
How can my simple words express my love for You, my Lord? Tears flow as I think of all You have done for me. I am so unworthy and yet You love me.
You loved me before I knew You and sent Your Son to die for my sins. It is only by His Righteousness that I can stand before Your Holy Throne.
Thank You, Father God, thank You Lord Jesus, and thank You Holy Spirit for creating me and saving me.
May I serve You all the days of my life.
Let us never forget!
As I wrote this prayer I was thinking of the Scripture where Paul tells us in Phillippians 4:4 NKJV to, Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
I am now in my eighties, but when I was in my teens I started to greet the morning with thanksgiving. By rejoicing at my first waking, I set the stage for all that the day brings. Some things will be good and, yes, some will be bad.
However, God is in charge of my day. I have learned to be thankful and see good in every day. Many believers miss out on much of what God has for us by not rejoicing in all things.
God loves you!
Living with the knowledge that God loves me enough to send Jesus to die for my sins is all I need.
How can you do anything but praise Jesus for loving you?
Join me and many other Christians who wake up and start our day praising Jesus for giving us another day.
