My Grateful Heart

Thank you, Father, today and all of my days that I am forever free from condemnation. Thank you that you sacrificed your only Son so that I might live forever with you. Thank you that my enemy has already been defeated and that I can walk in victory. Thank you that I have the righteousness of God through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Thank you that you sing over me, delight in me, knew me long before the foundation of the world was created, that you count every hair on my head and keep my tears in a bottle. Thank you that all things are working for my good. Thank you for abundance.

Thank you for family and friends, even when they disappoint or are hurtful. Thank you for the laughter of children and the conversations of adults. Thank you for putting opportunities to bless and love others in my path each day. Thank you for the loneliness that causes me to so appreciate the fellowship of others. Thank you for loss, grief and sorrow that allows me to empathize and pray over others. Thank you that the best relationship is the one I have with you.

Thank you that the best life I can have is now. Thank you that your kingdom is here and now and that everything is already provided for every need that I have. Thank you that when I seek your will and am obedient to what you have for me that you can do much more than I can ask or imagine. Thank you that you order my steps and I only need to walk in your way. Thank you for your promises. Most of all, thank you that you will never leave me or forsake me.
