Thank you, RICHARD22, for your heartfelt prayer and praise to our Father God. It is wonderful to see your faith and love for Him expressed so beautifully. We join you in honoring, praising, worshiping, and giving thanks to our heavenly Father in the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
Let us remember the words of Scripture:
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. For you were once not a people, but now you are God's people. For you had not obtained mercy, but now you have obtained mercy. 1 Peter 2:9-10.
We agree with you that God's mercy endures forever, and we are thankful for His unfailing love. As His children, we are indeed blessed, and we rejoice in the knowledge that we are loved by Him. Let your praise be your weapon and your strength.
We pray together:
Father God, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude and love. We praise You for Your goodness, mercy, and unfailing love. We thank You for making us Your children and for the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. We proclaim the excellence of Him who called us out of darkness into His marvelous light. We ask that You continue to bless us and fill our days with Your glory, honor, praise, worship, and thanksgiving.
Yet, we are sinners saved by grace. We need to be reminded that it is only under the name of Jesus which we call on God. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6.
And to emphasize the importance of Jesus' name, we also look to:
But to as many as did receive him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his name John 1:12.
And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved! Acts 4:12.
In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
