Thank you Lord, for…
-life giving words between friends
-giving meaning and purpose to my life
-the children you’ve given me to raise
-their
cheeks, eyes, mouths, voices, wiggly feet, personality and purpose
-loving me enough to pay the penalty for my sin so I can
come confidently into your presence
-your patience – to guide and teach me, and your patience
that allows people time to repent and come to you.
-your faithfulness. I will fall many times, but you will
still call me righteous and will still lift me up. Thank you Jesus!
-music, laughter and color. I love your artful ways! You
make all things new and beautiful. I laugh, amazed by discovery of your
wonders. You thrill me.
-healing my fingers and body
-continuing to shape and change my heart
- my husband, whose strength, patience and quiet heart
remind me of you. My husband, whose loving actions have powerfully spoken your
love into my life
-our piano, and the ability to play it
-joy. Your joy is true and deep and thorough, and often
eludes me. When I find it though… wow. There are no words. I feel like I’m in
heaven – right there in your presence, and might just explode out of my body. Oh
Lord – joy in you and from you IS my strength. Thank you so much for the gift
of joy!
-the Holy Spirit who guides, comforts and speaks. Guide my
every step and word, Lord.
- prayer – thank you
for being accessible, approachable and here. I love being close to you, and
knowing you can hear my thoughts. … and still love me.
-protection. You shield me from more than I’ll probably ever
know. Thank you for angels that guard and keep me and my family. Thank you for
your protection from the Enemy, and that even when bad circumstances happen,
you turn it into good. I have nothing to fear because you are with me. Lord,
please make that a reality in my heart –
that I am completely bold and fearless. No fear belongs in this heart. Thank
you Lord, for your protection. I am safe in your arms. I can trust you.
-justice. You are fair and just, and will mete out justice
in your perfect time. Forgive me for the blasphemy of complaining or judging
things to be ‘no fair’. That is something only you can judge. Thank you that
you are fair and will bring justice for all; the starving, the dying, the oppressed,
the oppressors, the greedy, the deceitful… you will make all things new, and
there will one day be no more crying or death or sorrow. Thank you Lord!
-Hope of heaven. Oh Lord, eternity with you is my hope! Your
existence is my hope! Thank you for leaving us your Word, Jesus, and the Holy
Spirit. Thank you for all your wonders that point to you. Fill me – our whole
family – with your love Lord, so that it overflows into the lives of others and
causes them to come to you too!
