My Father and My God,
Thank You, Father, for Your forgiveness of my sins!
Thank You that when I confess my sins to You that You are faithful and just to forgive and cleanse from all unrighteousness!
And I know it is for Christ’s sake and His merit alone that You forgive me.
Jesus has merited my forgiveness by His person and work!
Lord Jesus, thank You for saving me from all my sin, guilt, misery, and the Hell that I have merited by who I am and what I have done!
Thank You, Lord Jesus, for living and dying in my place so that I might be granted everlasting life!
Thank You for fulfilling all the righteous demands of the Law of God in my place!
Thank You for dying on the cross to satisfy the justice of God against my sins!
Thank You for turning away God’s wrath from me by absorbing it all in your own body and soul on the cross!
Thank You, Lord Jesus, for being forsaken in my place so that I might never be forsaken by God!
You were condemned in my place so that I might sing, “There is therefore no condemnation for those in Christ!”
Thank You, Lord Jesus, for Your kindness, mercy, grace, love, and compassion to such a weak, sinful, frail, and fragile vessel as I!
Thank You, Holy Spirit, for regenerating my soul and transferring me from darkness to light!
Thank You for infusing true faith into my soul by Your Power and Word!
Thank you for enabling me to believe the Gospel and trust Jesus for redemption!
Thank You for enlightening my eyes to see Christ in the Word.
I know that I would never understand Your Word apart from You giving me understanding!
O Lord, I do love You! You have implanted Your love in my heart by Your Holy Spirit!
However, my love for You and for others is not what it ought to be.
I daily fail to love You with my whole heart! I fail miserably!
And daily I have sinful thoughts, words, and actions!
Of myself, I am unworthy to stand in Your presence and unworthy of the least of Your blessings and truth.
But praise Jesus that He never failed to love You, O Father, with His whole heart, soul, mind, and strength on my behalf and that of all His people. And so, by faith in Jesus, I stand before You covered and clothed in the righteousness of Christ.
What Amazing grace of Jesus that saved a wretch like me! I once was lost but He found me, I was blind but Jesus gave me sight!
Oh, how I love Jesus!
O Father, I need Your constant forgiveness as I have not reflected Your glory as I ought!
I need Your continual abiding presence and Your face shining upon me lest I slip into despair, discouragement, or depression!
I feel myself weak and sinful and that I need You every hour! Strengthen and increase my faith! “Lord, I believe, help my unbelief!”
Revive me again, O Lord, to serve You with zeal and vigor all the days of my life!
Discipline me when I stray; Keep me humble when I obey.
Bless the worship of Your people today!
May we exalt Father, Son, and Holy Spirit with our prayer, praise, and bowing to Your Word!
I ask all these things in Jesus’ name!
Amen!
