I Will Give Thanks

Ok, trying to get back into a daily habit of reading the Word. I'm really liking the SheReadsTruth plans, because they start a new cycle every couple of weeks. So even if I get so horribly behind I can't quite catch up, I can start afresh and keep going. This time,instead of writing out my own thoughts, I am going to be posting my prayers in response to the scriptures and devotionals that SRT posts. I'll be hyperlinking to the original posts and reference the scriptures as I go. So we start with...

SheReadsTruth: Give Thanks Day 1

(Psalm 30 & Luke17:11-19)

SheReadsTruth: Give Thanks Day 1

Father God,

Oh Lord, I confess that I have the heart of one of the nine cleansed lepers, who were rescued from much misery, but did not turn to thank you. You are the source of all blessing, the one who rescues, the one who restores, the one who loves, the one who pours out undeserved riches. And I am an ungrateful sinner who takes and takes and rarely says thank you. 

Change my heart to match that of the Samaritan leper. Let me see all the goodness you have done for me and pour out my thanksgiving and my gratitude. Not that you need it, though you deserve it. But let it come from a heart that is truly thankful for all you've done. 

Thank you for saving me

What can I say?

You are my everything 

And I will sing your praise

You shed your blood for me

What can I say?

You took my sin and shame 

A sinner called by name!

Great is The Lord

Great is The Lord

For we know your truth has set us free

You've set your hope in me

Mercy and grace are mine

Forgiven is my sin

Jesus, my only hope

The savior of the world

Great is The Lord we cry

God let your kingdom come

Your word has let me see

Thank you for saving me!

Great is The Lord

Great is The Lord

For we know your truth has set us free

You've set your hope in me.
