A Prayer of Praise

Lord, I praise You for Who You are. You are everything beautiful, everything good. Nothing exists apart from Your mercy. Your grace is evident in the entirety of the universe. Your glory is evident in the sunshine, Your tenderness in a kind word, Your love in a real embrace. You are so beautiful, Lord! Thank You that every good and perfect gift is from You! Thank You for being absolute goodness. Thank You for sharing that goodness with Your children. You are a redeemer! You delight in providing, in giving grace - undeserved favor - to Your children. I rest in You. I lean my head on Your chest. I take Your light burden, Your easy yoke and give You my worries and fears. You see every need and You care. Your love lifts me of my burdens. Your perfect love casts out all of my fears. I place all of my trust in You. Thank You for Who You are! You are good.

Amen.
