Ps 138, I John 5:18, I Cor. 6:20

Today, dear Lord, I give thanks to you with my whole heart. I sing your praises. I bow before you, father, and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and for your faithfulness. I exalt you above all things; your name and your word.

When I call on you, you answer and the strength of my soul you increase. Though you are Almighty God and I am lowly you regard me with love and care. Though I walk in the midst of trouble and trials you preserve my life.  You stretch out your hand and protect me from my enemies.

You bought me with a price. I belong to you, father, and the evil one cannot touch me. Your right hand delivers me.  I know your faithfulness and steadfast love, father. You will fulfill your purpose for me. I will be of the use to you that you formed me for. You do not for sake the work of your hands.
