Dear Heavenly Father, I am grateful for the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross for my sins. Lord, I thank You for washing me clean by the blood of Jesus. Lord, give me the holy boldness to share what You have done for me with others, so that they too might know salvation and deliverance from their sins. Thank You that I can wear the robe of righteousness and may I never tarnish it in the sight of the world. Grant that I remain a faithful witness. I ask this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Dear Lord, "How can I say thanks for the things You have done for me? Things so undeserved, yet You gave to prove Your love for me."* ... Even in my sorrow or sickness You have been there; how can I say thanks? ... Only by praising You, by sharing Your love, by staying in Your Word, so that my daily life reflects You. How can I say thanks? Oh Lord, let my whole life reflect my gratitude for Your many blessings as I seek to serve You.
In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen.

Unceasing Prayer
Colossians 4:2-6
Dear Father, who answers our prayers,
Help me to be steadfast in my praying to you, even to stay awake that I may pray!
Fill my life with thanksgiving to you.
O God, I pray for all your servants everywhere that you may open a door for us to proclaim your Word, to declare the now-public secret - Christ crucified, glorified, and coming - and to make the message clear, as we ought to speak.
In the name of Jesus I ask you to fill our lives with your holy life and to claim all our motives and deeds as your own. Amen.
