Be Thankful and Keep Your Vows to the Most High



“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 God Most High,


Give me a heart to continually offer sacrifices of thankfulness to You—for You are forever faithful to hear me call on You when I am in trouble, and You rescue me so that I will give You all the glory.


Let it be true of me, that my genuine gratitude and heartfelt thankfulness to You would be expressed in the first sounds that cross my lips—within every prayer I speak and in all the praises that I lift up to You.

Help me demonstrate my love and commitment to Your will for me, not by saying empty words, but by submitting my life to Your will in truth—so that if I was on trial for being Your child, there would be an abundance of compelling evidence presented to convict me.

And help me to boldly and confidently call on You in those times when I find myself in trouble, knowing that You alone are the One who hears my cry and has the power to rescue me—whether You rescue me by delivering me from my circumstances, or rescue me by sustaining me through them.

And let it be that I would be faithful to give You glory for that rescue—even before I see it with my eyes—so 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!


Give me a heart to continually offer sacrifices of thankfulness to You—for You are forever faithful to hear me call on You when I am in trouble, and You rescue me so that I will give You all the glory.


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
