Good Tuesday afternoon, my friends.
Join me in this prayer of thanksgiving for the many blessings God has bestowed upon us. If you are not feeling very blessed today, then perhaps this prayer is especially for you. I believe God wants us to see beyond the short-sightedness of our every day lives.
Grace and peace be yours in abundance,
Bruce
Father, You have poured out Your abundance on us from the heavenly realms in all manner of blessings.
You forgave our sins and broke the chains that once enslaved.
You brought fulfillment in our lives as You gave us a sense of purpose.
You provided for us a roadmap through the Holy Scriptures that leads ultimately to heaven.
You've promised us eternal life.
We experience peace that surpasses human understanding and the list is unending.
For this and so much more we are eternally grateful.
We deserve none of Your blessings and yet we receive them all, not only in this life but we lay hold of future blessings in the life to come.
Prompt us to focus on our blessings since they far outweigh our troubles.
Even when shadows darken the view of our blessings may they visibly surface as the indwelling Holy Spirit brings them to our remembrance.
May it be our heart's desire to refresh others whom we meet from day to day in life's journey as we walk in the power of Your Holy Spirit.
In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
