Lord Jesus,
Thank you for everything I've ever gone through...the good, the horrific - all of it, for it has led me here. Thank you for walking every step by my side and for your faithfulness in and through the valley of the shadow of death.
I thank you for every gift and treasure discovered through every lesson learned the hard way, every loss, limitation, and the agonizing seasons of lament.
Everything I pour out from my heart is for you Jesus - to thank you for taking the impossible mess that I was and lavishing your heart, hope, healing, deliverance and love...you've changed my entire life and I want everyone to know who you really are! I know who I was before you saved me, and I know that there is noone like you!
Thank you for giving your life in our place when you died on the cross at Calvary. Humanity is so divided and your love is the only One stronger than this darkness! It's easy to think that what we do in private or behind closed doors doesn't affect anyone else, but the truth is the only ONE able to set us free from the insidious entanglements we know as guilt, shame, selfishness, insecurity, self destructiveness, trauma, bitterness, addictions that have incubated within the darkness, across a lifetime of brokenness profoundly impacting everything and everyone through our attitudes, words, thoughts, emotions, how we respond, engage, choose, the things we desire, how we relate to ourselves and others.
Lord, thank you for strengthening me, for fanning the flames that once were a barely visible ember, now ignited into a raging inferno as your love and Holy Spirit breathe life into our heart and soul! Thank you for every unanswered prayer and that you're worth the wait.
Thank you for the gift of NOW!
I love you my Lord!
