Gratitude for Grace – A Prayer

Father in Heaven,

You are not only in heaven, but on earth and in all other places, including inhabiting the human heart, such as mine.

You came to me when I was young. I did not understand and rejected your grace then, as I had my own way determined.

Your patience and lovingkindness allowed the pain and errors of my ways to teach me, while providing an opportunity to understand how much I needed your grace and to see the deficit in my life.

Your inhabiting of my heart happened in an instant, yet it is requiring the surrender of my whole life to imbibe your grace fully – being complete only when my race here is finished.

Your mercy never disappoints and your grace is always sufficient. Your generosity is complete and your love is unfailing.

Praise be to you, the one deserving of my affection and adoration. You are worthy, most high, Lord God, Almighty!

In Jesus name,

Amen
