Hi everyone this past weekend was Thanksgiving in my country. It Is the time we celebrate being thankful with a turkey dinner and all the fixings. However to me thanksgiving is a way of life not just once a year but it’s in giving from a grateful surrendered heart, moment by moment for a lifetime. In Psalm 100 verse 4 says, “Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him and bless His name.” I was inspired by Psalm 100 and wrote a “Psalm of Praise and Thanksgiving”
We bless the Lord when we are thankful and He blesses us In return.
I have lots to be thankful for and firstly I thank God for rescuing me from suicide and giving me a new life of hope and joy. For 21 years my journey with Him is truly amazing. And on Thanksgiving weekend in 2014 I was blessed with a beautiful granddaughter. As I thought of all His love and goodness to me over the years my heart overflowed with this prayer…
Abba Father,
I thank You for loving me like you do and your faithfulness, Your mercy and grace that I didn’t deserve. I will forever be grateful for this new life You have given me by sacrificing Your Son’s life to save mine. In return I sacrifice my life and surrender my heart, soul and mind, to You daily. I will glorify You in everything I do and I know I won’t be perfect but my heart is Yours now and always. Amen
Thank You Holy Spirit for coming alive in me and giving me more than I ever dreamed possible. You are truly a gift I will treasure always. Thank You for teaching me, and leading me In worship, prayer and praise. I surrender all to You daily so I may have more of You.
Thank You Jesus If it wasn’t for You sacrificing Your life It wouldn’t be possible to live like I do. Thank You for Your gift of salvation and Your gift of the Holy Spirit so I can commune with You in the spirit. I give my life to You always and sacrifice my heart for Yours.
God bless you all and you are loved, Jan (Lollita Faith)
