LORD, all the good in my life I owe to You.
Thank You for my parents who taught me to believe in You,
For they instilled the importance of worship.
Thank You for the one who taught me to obey You,
For without their persistence I would be lost.
Thank You for the Christian friends who have been rocks in my life,
For their lives have often encouraged me without them even knowing.
Thank You for the trials in my life,
For without them I would not have truly learned trust,
Nor would I have much insight into the pain of others.
Thank You for the counsel of Your Word and the counsel of friends made wise by it,
For I have often relied on both when my lack of wisdom or abundance of will has blinded me.
Thank You for the kindred spirits You have blessed me with,
For the very thought of them causes me to smile.
Thank You for my family,
For they have brought me great joy.
Thank You for Your compassion,
For without it I would not have hope.
LORD, I know all the good in my life is because of You,
And I am deeply grateful!
