For You are my hope; O Lord God, You are my confidence from my youth. By You I have been sustained from my birth; You are He who took me from my mother’s womb; My praise is continually of You. Psalm 71:5-6

Lord, I thank You before being my Father and my God. You are such and awesome God, and worthy to be praise. Thank You for loving me in spite of me. Thank you for using me as a vessel for Your glory. Thank You for creating me on purpose and with purpose. Help me to always recognize any walk in my identity, value and worth in You, God. Help me resist the world’s attempts to conform me and assign me its identity and draw me away from You.

Thank You for being my hope. Thank You for not leaving me to what I only can see in this life. Thank You for Your precious promises for eternal life with You in glory forever. Forgive me for putting my hope, faith and trust in things of the world. Help me to hope in You always.

Thank you for being my confidence. I have no fear. I boldly walk in Your Light, fully trusting Your strength and power. Even when I’m in the valleys of life, I’m confident that Your power will cover me and protect me. Thank You for never being intimidated by any force of darkness or any storm that comes into my life. You are All Powerful! You are my strength and my refuge! And even when I’m too weak to do anything for myself, You tell me in Your Word that Your strength is made perfect in my weakness. Thank you Lord for that! I don’t have to know it all. I don’t have to have it all. I don’t always have to have strength. For when I am weak, then You are strong. Help me learn how to be weak in You and not lean to my own understanding or trust my own strength. Help me submit to Your guidance for my life in everything.

Lord, You’ve sustained me from my birth. And You sustain me now! You sustain me! You’ve kept me in times when I didn’t even have enough sense to know I needed to be kept! Bless Your holy name!!

You are simply an amazing God! There’s none above You! Thank You for calling me out of this dark world into Your marvelous Light. Thank You for working in me, both to will and do what pleases You. Any and everything good in me, is because of You, Lord. And I thank You. Thank You for being mindful of my most pitiful self from the beginning of time. Thank You for affording me this opportunity of a life time to share in the likeness of Your Son, Jesus! I pray that You increase my appetite to love You, to worship You, to serve You and to praise You all the days of my life.

In Jesus’s name I pray,

Amen
