Lord, I praise you this morning for the great and high privilege of knowing you, of being your child, of knowing how I fit into your creation, of having in you worth, value, position, power and privilege as well as holiness, help and happiness.  These are gifts from you; I can find them in no other source.

You, Lord Jesus, are my Savior, my Shepherd, my Sovereign. I praise you for your great Love, for your faithful Follow Through, for your pervasive Perfection, for your high Holiness. You are always there, always loving, always good, always effective, especially when I cannot see or sense this.

I praise you that you help me as I need it. I thank you for the difficult times you lead me through, I thank you for the problems, the disappointments, the anguish that are important for my growth and deepening (James 1:2-4).

I praise you for your care, protection and provision. You, Lord God, are Mighty, Majestic and Magnificent, you are Great, Glorious, Gracious and Good, you are High, Holy and Humble.  You are worthy of worship, of obedience, of glory, of exaltation, of magnification, of honor, of praise. And I want to give all of these to you today.
