Thankfulness, My Sacrifice



“Make thankfulness your sacrifice to God,
    and keep the vows you made to the Most High.
Then call on me when you are in trouble,
    and I will rescue you,
    and you will give me glory.”

—Psalm 50:14-15 (NLT)


LORD Most High,


O that I would continually offer a sacrifice of thankfulness to You and demonstrate true repentance from my sin—by my obedience to Your commands.


Within every prayer I speak and all the praises that I lift to You, let my genuine gratitude and heartfelt thankfulness to You—for who You are and for all that You have done—be the first sounds that cross my lips.

And help the demonstration of my love for You be that I not only say that I will follow You, but that I follow You in truth—so that if I was on trial for being Your child, the evidence of my repentance from all my sin would be sufficient to convict me, as I submit my will in obedience to Yours.

Then help me to boldly and confidently call only on You when I find myself in trouble—knowing that You alone are the One who hears my cry and rescues me.

And let it be that I would give You glory for that rescue—even before I see it with my eyes—that others would see my faith confirmed and come to know that I serve the only God who is able to save to the uttermost!


O that I would continually offer a sacrifice of thankfulness to You and demonstrate true repentance from my sin—by my obedience to Your commands.


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
