A Prayer of Thanks

Abba Father,

You have done it all! You have given me everything. All I need is Christ. And He cannot be taken from me! I am so safe and secure in your loving arms. I am no longer in bondage to the enemy. You set me free! You rescued me because you delighted in me (2 Sam. 22:20). Help me truly believe this, Father. Help me see with eyes of faith. I do believe, help my unbelief. Help me truly believe you love me. The evidence is overwhelming.

Your Word is truth. It is my rock-eternal, steadfast and sure. These are your very words to me.

Thank you, Abba Father, for saving me from the devil. Thank you for granting me mercy, for not treating me as my sins deserve! Thank you for giving me grace, the gift of faith. Thank you, Lord, for opening my blind eyes and unlocking my deaf ears. Thank you for removing my heart of stone and giving me a heart of flesh. Thank you for rescuing me from myself! Thank you for loving me when you knew and know that I am unloveable. When I was your enemy, you took pity on me. Thank you, Father, for adopting me and making me a co-heir with Christ. Thank you for sending Jesus to die the death I deserve; there is no greater love that I will ever know. I do believe, help my unbelief.

In your name I pray, Amen.
