Father, we always give thanks You for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Eph 5:20, for our first father was placed in a perfect Garden, Gen 2:15, yet did not honor You as God or give You thanks, Rom 1:21, sinned, died the same day spiritually, Gen 2:17, and were exiled immediately as all creation fell, Rom 8:20, Gen 3:24. We were ejected from a perfect Garden that bore fruit of it's own, in which we fellowshipped personally with The Pre-Incarnate, Theophonic, Jesus Christ Himself, the Visible Image of the invisible God, Col 1:15-16, John 1:1, Gen 2:19, Gen 3:8, Prov 8:27-28, Prov 8:29, Prov 8:30-31. We were suddenly Exiles from Eden, Gen 3:24, and remember that we were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world, Eph 2:12. The god of this age had blinded our eyes, 2 Cor 4:4, and all our righteousness were as filthy rags, Isa 64:6, Rom 3:29. Therefore we owe you thanksgiving and praise for justifying us freely through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, Rom 3:24. Thank You for opening our eyes through the light of the gospel, turning us from us from the darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, letting us enjoy forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Jesus, Acts 26:18. Thank you for making us a royal priesthood, a holy nation, Your own possession, Deut 7:6, that we may proclaim the excellencies of You, who called us out of darkness into Your marvelous light, 1 Pet 2:9. I ask You keep us walking in the light as You are in the light, so we can have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ Your Son cleanses us from all sin, 1 John 1:7. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content, 1 Tim 6:8. Again, let us enter Your gates with thanksgiving, and enter Your courts with praise, help us be thankful unto You, and bless Your Name, for You are good, and Your mercy endures forever, and Your faithfulness to all generations, Ps 100:4-5. Help us eat our food with gladness and simplicity of heart, Acts 2:46. Help us truly give thanks in every circumstance, for this is God's will for us in Christ Jesus, 1 Thes 5:18. Help us speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making music in our hearts to the Lord, Eph 5:19. Help us think about You all the time, like in the early days of human relationships, for You keep us in perfect peace when our mind is stayed on Thee, Isa 26:3. Help us love Your Word, for great peace have they which love Your Word and nothing causes them to stumble, Ps 119:165. Give us simple and undistracted purity of devotion, 2 Cor 11:3. Open our eyes to see wonderful things in Your Word, Ps 119:18. Grant us to bring You great joy through being of the same mind, Phil 2:2, doing nothing out of conceit, Phil 2:3, but in humility, rightly discerning the Body of Christ, 1 Cor 11:29. In short, help us love You with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, and love our neighbors as ourselves, Mark 12:30-31 -- for this is the sum and total of all the commands contained in the Bible, Rom 13:9. As always, grant Your angels charge over us, Ps 91:10-11, for the Angel of The Lord encamps around those who fear You, and delivers us, Ps 34:7. Inhabit the praises of Your people and ride on top of them, enthroned, Ps 22:3. Scatter all evil with Your eyes, Prov 20:8. With equity judge the meek of the earth, Isa 11:4. Help us seek first your Kingdom, Matt 6:33, and today and every day, give us our daily bread, Matt 6:11, wisdom and revelation, Eph 1:17, and The Spirit of The Fear of The Lord, Isa 11:2. Help us not love the world or anything in the world, 1 John 2:15, and take us not out of the world, but keep us from the evil one, Matt 6:13, John 17:15. Thank You that as many as are the promises of God, in Jesus they are Yes, and with Jesus, also is the Amen, 2 Cor 1:20. Thank You for exceedingly abundantly more than we can ask or imagine, Eph 6:20, great and mighty things we do not know, Jer 33:3, and open doors which no one can shut, Rev 3:7-8, in Jesus' Name, John 14:13.
