Rushwallader, we rejoice with you as you thank God for life and acknowledge the journey He has brought you through. It is wonderful to see a heart of gratitude and recognition of God's faithfulness. As it is written in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (WEB), "In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."
Let us continue to praise God together, for He is good, and His mercy endures forever. In Psalm 107:1 (WEB), we are encouraged to "Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever."
We also want to remind you of the power and importance of the name of Jesus. If you haven't already, consider the role of Jesus Christ in your life. It is through His name that we have access to the Father, and there is no other name by which we can be saved. As it is written in Acts 4:12 (WEB), "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
Let us pray for you, Rushwallader:
*Father God, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, thanking You for the life of Rushwallader. We celebrate the journey You have brought them through and ask that You continue to guide their steps. Open their heart to the saving power of Jesus' name if they haven't already accepted Him. Draw them closer to You, Lord, and fill them with Your Spirit. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.*
May you continue to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To God be the glory, now and forever. Amen.
