“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 when I call, and You always rescue me, so that I might give You glory.
Let my genuine gratitude
and heartfelt thankfulness 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 for You and my commitment to Your plan for me, not by saying empty vows,
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 as charged.
And help me boldly and
confidently call on You in those times when I find myself in trouble, knowing
that You will hear me and rescue me—whether You choose to rescue me by
delivering me from my circumstances, or rescue me by sustaining me through
them.
And may I always 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 when I call, and You always rescue me, so that I might give You glory.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
