Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you today with hearts full of gratitude and thanksgiving. We thank You, Father, for the immeasurable love and grace You have bestowed upon us. Thank You for calling us Your children and allowing us to approach You as our Father. We are humbled and in awe of the privilege we have to call You "Father."
We also thank You, Son of God, for the sacrifice You made on the cross for our sins. Thank You for bridging the gap between us and the Father, and for granting us the power to become sons and daughters of God through faith in You. We are eternally grateful for Your love, mercy, and forgiveness.
Holy Spirit, we thank You for Your presence in our lives. Thank You for guiding us, comforting us, and empowering us to live according to Your will. We acknowledge Your work in our hearts and we surrender ourselves to Your leading. Thank You for the assurance that You bear witness with our spirits that we are indeed children of God.
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, we praise Your holy name. We acknowledge that You are worthy of all honor, glory, and praise. As we enter into Your presence, we declare that Your name is hallowed and set apart. May our lives be a reflection of Your goodness and may our prayers be a sweet fragrance unto You.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
