A Prayer of Thanks and Dedication

Abba Father,

You are all powerful. You are the Mighty Creator of the heavens and earth. You created everything from nothing with just a word and you sustain all things by the word of your power.

Thank you for your Word. Thank you for calling me by name, and your calling on my life — calling me out of darkness into your marvelous light! I was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see. I didn’t save myself, rescue myself, or deliver myself. I didn’t restore my own sight. I deserve to drown into eternal flames and darkness. Forever punished for my crime of high treason. Thank you, merciful Father!

Please establish the truth of your Word in my heart! Grow my understanding of your Word and strengthen my faith. Only you can do these things. I wait on you. I will choose today to be still and know that you are God and believe that no purpose of yours can be thwarted and that you are good! All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness.

In the powerful name of my risen King Jesus, Amen.
