The Great King!

 

Oh come, let us sing to the LORD!
Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving;
Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.
For the LORD is the great God,
And the great King above all gods. 

—Psalm 95:1-3 (NKJV)

 

My LORD and my KING,

 

Establish within me new, stronger, and truer pathways of thought, word, and action—pathways that spring forth out of a heart overflowing with gratitude for who You are and for all the wondrous things You have done for me! 

 

Let songs and shouts of joy erupt from my grateful heart and be lifted to You in spontaneous praise and worship—for You are the Rock, the immovable and firm foundation that every aspect of my life is built upon! You are the God of my salvation—the author of my freedom over the sin of this evil world!

 

Let me come before You as Your beloved child—entering confidently into Your Holy Presence, and remaining and abiding with You, so I might know You as You are and continue to give my life back to You in thanksgiving!

 

Let me always praise You with shouts and songs of joy—for You are the Great and Sovereign God!  You are far above all other so-called gods, and the Great and Almighty King of all, forever!  

 

Thank You for choosing me to be Your very own child, for blessing my life with every good thing, and for allowing me to experience the joy and peace that comes as I choose You back—as my only God and King, forevermore!

 

Establish within me new, stronger, and truer pathways of thought, word, and action—pathways that spring forth out of a heart overflowing with gratitude for who You are and for all the wondrous things You have done for me! 

 

In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Sing, Shout, Come!

Even Before God Made the World

Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes.  God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure.

—Ephesians 1:4-5 (NLT)

Loving and Gracious Father God,

Thank You for Your wondrous plan to make me holy and without fault in Your own eyes, through Christ—so that You could bring me to Yourself and adopt me as Your very own.

Thank You that before the beginning—before You created the heavens and the earth, before You put it all in order, and before You created time by setting it all into motion—You decided that mankind would be the focus of Your love.

Thank You that even before You created me, You so greatly desired to be able to have a loving relationship with me, that You made a way for me to come to You—a way for my sin debt to be paid—through the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus Christ.

Thank You that You wanted me so very much that You chose me—even though I did not deserve it and did nothing to earn it—and that I get to choose You back and be adopted into Your family, as Your dearly loved child!

Thank You for the overwhelming love that I feel, in knowing that You not only wanted to do this, but got great pleasure in doing it for me—and for all those You call to accept the free gift of salvation.

Thank You for Your wondrous plan to make me holy and without fault in Your own eyes, through Christ—so that You could bring me to Yourself and adopt me as Your very own.

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
