Throughout the month of November I have posted daily entries on Facebook and some on this site from my book, Thanksliving: Attitude of Gratitude. Today I write my Psalm of Thanksgiving to God for His blessings since writing that book in 2016.
Heavenly Father, Creator of the Universe, Lover of my soul,
I praise You for all that is good in my life
And for the difficulties I face, for they teach me perseverance, character, and patience.
I praise You for being as constant as the North star You created,
For being as close as hand and foot,
For determining before my birth
To save me from Satan’s grip and bring me to faith in Jesus Christ, Your Son.
I believe the words of Maltbie D. Babcock, “That though the wrong seems all so strong,
You are the ruler yet.” (“This is My Father’s World”)
I thank You for being the Alpha, the Omega,
For being constant throughout all the ages and all eternity.
I thank You for the joys of my life: family, friends, church brothers and sisters,
And for the heritage of clouds of witnesses who have taught, blessed, and loved me.
I thank You for generations of church historians who have preserved the church
Through Your blessing, and continue to bless The Bride of Christ.
I thank You for encouragement, for hope, for assurance
And trust Your eternal Presence in this life and the next.
And I thank You for preserving me through seven decades so I am blessed
With a modicum of wisdom and with grandchildren.
Thank You for my opportunity to publish books to honor Your Name,
And for each moment’s breath.
In the Name of Jesus, Lord, Savior, Intercessor, and Master. Amen.
