“Thank You, Lord” (part 2)

Therefore, let us all be thankful that we are a part of an unshakable Kingdom
and offer to God worship that pleases Him
and reflects the awe and reverence we have toward Him.
Hebrews 12:28 The Voice

Thank You, God, for the times I haven’t been able to control my circumstances.
They have reminded me that You are sovereign and on the throne.

Thank You, God, for those people in my life whom You have called home to be with You.
Their absence from this earth keeps my heart longing for heaven.

Thank You, God, that I have an inheritance in the heavenly places…
something that this world can never steal from me and I could never selfishly squander.

Thank You, God, for the greatest gift You could ever give me:
forgiveness through Your perfect Son’s death on the cross on my behalf.

Thank You, God, for the righteousness You credited toward me,
through the death and resurrection of Jesus.
It’s a righteousness I could never earn or attain on my own.

Thank You, Father, that You know me, You hear me, and You see my tears.
Remind me through difficult times that You are God,
You are on the throne, and You are eternally good.

And thank You, Lord, not only for my eternal salvation,
but for the salvation You afford every day of my life as You save me from myself,
my foolishness, my own limited insights,
and my frailties in light of Your power and strength.

O my soul, come, praise the Eternal;
    sing a song from a grateful heart;
    sing and never forget all the good He has done.
