A Prayer of Thanksgiving to God
"Because of Jesus, I now can live a life of joy, purpose, peace, and love." |
God, I have so much joy right now, knowing that You decided to send Jesus to earth so I could be saved from a life of hopelessness and sin and be a peacemaker for You. I recognize in this moment that You saved my life when You sent Jesus, and that because of Jesus, I now can live a life of joy, purpose, peace, and love. I hold onto that hope today. When I look at the world around me, I see so many people who are struggling with stressful, meaningless, chaotic lives without loving, caring relationships. That was my life before You saved me. To say I am grateful doesn't begin to express what I am feeling. I just know I have a sense of meaning and peace I have never had before and could never get on my own strength - and I am full of amazing happiness.
I feel like celebrating right now, knowing that I am now on Your side, instead of being at war with You. I know that with You I will never again be lost and alone. I am a new person today, and I recognize what I have just been given. I pray that, as I continue to grow spiritually every day, I will come to understand everything You have just accomplished in my life. By faith, I know I can trust You to be in my life today - and every day. I know I can count on You when things get tough, and knowing I will spend eternity in Your presence gives me such hope!
Thank You, Jesus, for the peace You have given me. I pray You will use me as an instrument of that peace so I can help my family, friends, and the world in which I live. I feel so different right now, knowing that You and I are now OK, knowing I am on the road to a deeper understanding of what it means to live for an audience of one. I ask You to help me pray when I become upset so that I will have Your peace in any situation I face - good or bad. Help me to get ready to help other people as others have already helped me. I want to make a difference in this world, and I want to help everyone I meet have the same hope I now have. I can't do this alone, so I ask You to make me a peacemaker.
Thank You for loving me that much. Thank You for saving me. And thank You for giving me a peace I have never known before. May everything I do, from this day on, reflect these same qualities as I tell others what You just did for me. I am full of anticipation at the kind of life I can now live.
