Heavenly Father, we thank You for this glorious day.

 

Let us seek the Lord in every aspect of our lives, for the Lord provides at all times. He is our Shepherd. So let us gather here to recognize the Lord’s continuing presence, for we are all abundantly blessed to have an awesome God as He. For it is He, our Father in Heaven, who has given us life, so let us cling to Him and seek Him through all things to rejoice in all He has done. Let Jesus’ word be embroidered on our hearts. 

 

Heavenly Father, allow us to recognize that we are here to serve You. Renew our minds, our bodies, and our spirits to align with Your divine destiny for us. God, I ask that You allow us to recognize when to say when. Cleanse our lives of the filth of this world and continuously make us new. Let us leave behind the dirt and grime that we have collected along our paths of life.

 

Our Father in Heaven has set forth a plan for us, so let us look up to Him and follow His divine plan. God, I ask that You let Your will be done. Let us be filled with the Holy Spirit so that we may understand that our Lord and Savior will forever provide for His people. Our Lord Jesus will forever fight for us through times of trial so that we may see the triumphs of His glory.

 

It is He whom we shall call upon through times of joy and pain, because it is He who has made a way through His blessed name. Let us exalt our Father in Heaven, for He is worthy of all our praise. He has provided us with so many resources and so much goodness that we shall be forever thankful. There is absolutely nothing He cannot do. So let us all shout to the Lord with every fiber of our being and say, “We thank You! We are forever grateful!”

 

Let us seek Him in all that we do, for it is He who has given us the strength to push forward even when we were weak. So let us be meek in our ways, because it is not we who have gotten ourselves through, but our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who has made a way.

 

Our Father in Heaven shaped us with His very hands and has never let us go. We could be sticks in the mud, without a path forward, but it is He who has moved us to where we needed to be. He has placed His very hands upon us to craft us, so let us lay ourselves down at His feet. For had it not been for Him, where would we be.  God, You are an awesome God, and we thank You.

 

Let us be reminded that Your works never cease. Let us savor the moment and remember that we shall exalt the Lord. Let us be joyous in all of our seasons, because it is our God who has provided even in times when we simply did not know how things would work out.

 

Let us recognize that we have a Father in Heaven who knows all things. Let us savor the moment and realize that He sees our hurt. Let us savor this very moment and recognize that He has placed us right where we are.

 

Let us savor the moment and look to the left and to the right, seeing a glimpse of God’s creation even when we may not see it ourselves. Let us savor the moment and recognize that we have movement in our limbs, limbs that our Father in Heaven shaped before we were even in our mother’s womb.

 

Let us savor the moment and recognize that our God knew what we would look like before we ever laid eyes on ourselves. Let us savor the moment and never take that lightly.

 

If we could self-reflect right at this very moment, isn’t it a wonderful feeling to know that God knew who we were to be before we even took our very first steps?

 

Let us cling to our Father, because it is He who has given us the opportunity to be here, to stand together in harmony, praising our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

 

Let the savory taste of our Savior remain on our lips. How wonderful it is to be able to say, “Thank You,” to Him! How wonderful it is to know that our Lord Jesus has His hand in our lives. Let us contemplate where we came from and let us also consider all of the blessings we’ve received and are yet to come. For the glory of God is everlasting.  God, we thank You for everything.  In Jesus’ name, Amen.
