Father, I am so thankful, firstly for who You are. The things You do and what You bless us with are great, but they are nothing compared to You. You are my treasure, Lord, the One I most desire. I thank You for being loving and kind, for forgiving us, and for welcoming us into Your arms when we come running. I am in awe of Your wisdom and Your sovereignty, for what can I know about heavenly things? - they are too lofty for me to understand. Yet You know everything, Lord, You surpass us all in knowledge. I come before You humbled, with a heart that flows with gratitude.
This past week has been so incredible, God. You have taken me on a journey that will bring me closer to You, and I thank You for that. I am so blessed by all the changes You are making in me, for the freedom that You've given to my heart. I realize, Lord, that I don't need to hide or protect myself, for You are my Mighty Protector and Shield. I can open my heart to others, trusting that You will keep it safe from harm. I pray that I continue to grow in You, and become a woman who is more deeply in love with You.
Lastly, I want to thank You for a friend that has been such an encouragement and inspiration to me. It has been a long time since I've allowed myself to open up to friendships and to be real and honest, but You have provided me with someone who I can do that with. I am so grateful for our friendship, Lord, for how it brings me closer to You. I pray that she may continue to seek Your heart, and to continually find rest and peace with You.
There are so many things to be thankful for, Father, but these are the ones that are weighing on my heart this week. I love You, and thank You for pursuing me with a passion that burns away all my doubts and fears. I pray that this prayer would be pleasing to You, and that it would glorify You. In Your Son's name, Jesus, I pray. Love,
