Lord, Thank You

Thank You

Lord, I thank You for another day

I thank you for being a Father to me, teaching me right, while showing me the
look of wrong

So many times I have fallen short of your glory, as all men have

But yet, so many times have you picked me up, dusted me of, and led me back
in the right direction

Time and time again I fall, but You find no problem in saying “It is ok son, I am
here”

You have never given up on me Lord, even when I wasn’t where I should have
been

You always tell me to be strong, yet humble

Many times you have told me that if I humble myself, You will lift me up, but if I
exalt myself among men, You will cast me down

But You never cast down to leave in destruction

You only break parts of me so that You can continue molding and making me
better than I was before

So many times I can almost hear Your voice and picture You saying, “Son, this is
not for you”

But yet so many times I see myself falling from dangerous places, but not
putting forth the best effort to hang onto the edge of that cliff

But yet, You are so merciful that you see it fit to catch me on a cloud

Sometimes when You do I feel like you caught me at a lower place than the last
time

But by faith in You, through Your grace, I don’t have to hit the rocks below

Through You, I can fly high above the clouds

I can soar above the seas

I can be whole…

You always tell me to watch out for Your adversary, because he comes only to
seek and devour who he may

But I refuse to let him devour me!

I rather be swallowed up and engulfed in Your love

Your love is good

Your love is pure

Your love is right

Your love covers a multitude of sin

Your love has covered my sin…

Through Your love, I have life today, and I have the opportunity to have life
forever more

Lord, You have taught me so much about how to love, and I have tried my best
to put it into practice

But I know there is still so much more to learn

You said that what is wisdom with men is foolishness with You

That’s how far above our understanding You are

For your methods are above our comprehension, and your ways are past
finding out.

Your love passes all understanding

Lord, teach me more…

Teach me all that it means to be a true son of the King

Teach me more about the walk and talk of a man of God

And not only about the walk and talk, but more about the understanding,
wisdom, prudence that I need to put a smile on Your face.

You told me that Faith is the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of
things not seen

You said that if I believe, I can have life through Your name

You told me to trust in You, and lean not unto my own understanding

My fleshy understanding is futile, but through You, it can be elevated to a point
where I can see clearly what it is you have in store for me.

I want only to operate in faith, believing in You, trusting that You are the
definition of truth

I desire for you to continue to let Your will be done, always remembering me in
the process, fulfilling Your will through me…

You told me that You will never leave me, nor forsake me

I can feel You here with me

You are my Father, Friend, Guide, Shield, Buckler, Brother, Shelter, Redeemer,
Savior, Strength…and so much more that feeble words cannot describe

Thank You

I love You…
