A Prayer of Gratitude and Praise

Holy God,

My heart rejoices in thinking of You! I want to give to You from the depths of my heart of gratitude and joy! But, what can I give to You? You have given me all that I have, all that I am. What do I have? What do I own that You have not provided? My very breath is from You!

You are Perfect in every way.

    There is no fault in You.

You are Righteous.

    You take all things into account, and Your judgment is fair.

You are Truth.

     Truth begins in You and is the standard used for all measures.

You know all things.

     There is not a moment, a breath, that avoids Your notice. Only what You allow comes to pass.

You are Merciful and Forgiving.

      Every morning I find hope and renewal in You.

You are my Protector and my Security;

      You never grow weary or tire of Your watch; I find rest in your presence.

You are generous beyond measure.

       No one can give beyond Your reach.

You are Timeless.

       Time has no chains for You; You created time and gave it its boundaries.

You are the Beginning and the End.

You have no Beginning.

You have no End
