Father, I thank you: Forgiveness undeservéd. Great is your mercy.

Heavenly Father, I thank you for this day. I thank you for your blessings, numerous and bountiful. You are so good to me, Lord. Indeed, too good to me. I do not deserve your mercy, and still, you supply and provide, and I am thankful from the core of my wounded, harméd heart. You are a faithful God, I thank you for answering my prayers: My girlfriend, Shelby, gradually heals from her wisdom teeth nightmare. I thank you for being with her through it all, allowing her peace and rest, and taking away the dreaded dull and throbbing pain. I thank you for the work you do through my church, Lord. You reach people in new and astounding ways. I thank you for using me to reach others, Lord, through the ministry of music; it is an honor to worship you with the words of my mouth, through song and prayer. Lord, bless pastor Donnie, and pastor Mark, and pastor Shane, and all of their wives and children. I am truly grateful for the work they do, and I am better attuned to your will because of their love, dedication, and perseverance. Father, I pray for all of those who do not yet know you. I pray that all of those who are yet strangers to you will soon come to know and love you as their own Lord, and Savior, and Heavenly Father. Lord, I pray that your children will return to you, and accept your grace and truth into their hearts. I pray that we shall receive you, Lord, one and all. I pray that they who are yet to accept your salvation will consider your identity, Lord. I pray that if anything, they shall give you a chance. I have accepted you, Lord, and I am a new man because of it. The darkness is passed away, behold, light comes now from within. Your spirit is alive within me, Lord, and I feel your Life radiate out, warming and comforting those I love, and those who need love, Lord, and those who seek love, Father. You have entered into me, and made yourself at home, and I welcome you, I bid you to stay and renovate my heart. I thank you for saving me from my ugliness and pride: my wretched sin once consumed, but now Lord, you have conquered the Death which threatened me. I pray, Father, that all those who wonder of your love would test and try your grace. Let them see your Majesty, your Power! You are mighty to save, Lord, and you are ready to change. Let them know your reality, and let them understand your awesome love. Let them know that there is no love like the love of God. Let them know that there is no friend like he who will lay down his life for his brethren. Let them know that Jesus is our greatest, our best and brightest friend. Let them accept that Jesus is the Truth, as well as the Way, and the Life. Let them recognize him as the gateway to the Father; as the intercessor, as the intermediate, as the worthy sacrifice. Let them know him as redeemer, for through his death are we purchased from the cold grip of sin and death. Let them believe, Lord, and let them trust. Give them faith and courage, Lord, give them your holy spirit, so that they may know the true authority of your grace. Lead them Lord, guide and guard, O God. Be a light unto all of them who walk in darkness; be their path, Lord, direct their steps. We need you, precious Lord. Forsake not we! Forever, we call on your name, Great Jesus, I pray in your name, and for your sake, Amen.
