  • Praying Thanks for Freedom 

    Lord God, thank You for Your truth which sets me free (John 8:32).  Praises to Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by His blood (Revelation 1:5).

    Jesus has set us free! Let us soar to new heights.

    The power of Your Gospel and the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus have set me free from the law of sin and death (Romans 8:2) because everyone who has died has been freed from sin (Romans 6:7).  Hallelujah, I am free indeed (John 8:36). I can say with Job: “I am free and without sin, I am clean and free from guilt” (Job 33:9). My home is safe and free from fear (Job 21:9). I have been set free from sin and have now become a slave to righteousness (Romans 6:18). And since I am free from sin and have become a slave to You, my Lord and God, the benefits You promise will lead me to holiness, and the result is eternal life (Romans 6:22).

    Thank You, Gracious God.  You have given me total spiritual freedom whereas once I was bruised and scarred by sin, I am now free, enjoying Your healing and deliverance in every area of my life. 

    I agree that I must be careful that the exercise of my freedom does not become a stumbling block to the weak (1 Corinthians 8:9). I must not use my freedom as a cover up for evil, but as a servant of God (1 Peter 2:16). We were called to be free, not to use our freedom to indulge the sinful nature; but rather to freely serve one another in love (Galatians 5:13).

    Where Your Spirit is, Lord, there is freedom (2 Corinthians 3:17), and because this is true, I aim to habitually walk in the Spirit each step of the way. Lord God, please guide me to live by the Spirit and not gratify my sinful nature (Galatians 5:16).  Help me to yield myself more and more to the power of Your Sprit, Father.  Help me to crucify my flesh, O Lord, with all its affections and lusts, its passions and desires so I can live by and keep in step with Your Spirit at all times (Galatians 5:24-25). 

    Your Word states that the kind of fasting You have chosen is to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke (Isaiah 58:6). Your Spirit, O Lord Jesus, has been put upon me; You have anointed me to proclaim Your Gospel, to heal the brokenhearted, to minister Your deliverance for the captives and give sight for the blind.  Through the power of Your Spirit, Lord, I too will be able to lead others into freedom (Luke 4:18).  Thank You for full spiritual freedom, my Lord and my God.

  • Give Thanks To the Lord

    Sacrifice thank offerings to God, fulfill your vows to the Most High, and call upon Me in the day of trouble.  I will deliver you and you will honor Me…  He who sacrifices thank offerings honors Me and he prepares the way so that I may show him the salvation of God. (Psalm 50:14-15, 23). 

    [David] consulted with the people and appointed some to sing for the Lord and some to praise the splendor of His holiness.  When they went out in front of the armed forces, they kept singing: “Give thanks to the Lord, for His faithful love endures forever” (2 Chronicles 20:21).

    The trumpeters and singers joined together to praise and thank the Lord with one voice (2 Chronicles 5:13). They were also to stand every morning to give thanks and praise to the Lord, and likewise in the evening (1 Chronicles 23:30). Let us do the same.

    Let us come before Him with thanksgiving and extol Him with music and song (Psalm 95:2).  Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name (Psalm 100:4).  Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name; make known among the nations what He has done (Psalm 105:1). 

    Give thanks to the Lord, for His is good; His faithful love endures forever (1 Chronicles 16:34).  Give thanks to the Lord; call on His name; proclaim His deeds among the peoples (1 Chronicles 16:8).  And say: “Save us, God of our salvation; gather us and rescue us from the nations so that we may give thanks to Your holy name and rejoice in Your praise (1 Chronicles 16:35). 

    Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, His love endures forever.  Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from the nations, that we may give thanks to Your holy name and glory in Your praise (Psalm 106:1, 47). 

    Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good… Give thanks to the God of gods… Give thanks to the Lord of lords… Give thanks to the God of heaven.  His love endures forever (Psalm 136:1-3, 26). Give thanks to the Lord of Armies because the Lord is good, because His mercy endures forever. (Jeremiah 33:11) 

    Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever (Psalm 107:1). Let [all] give thanks to the Lord for His unfailing love and His wonderful deeds for men (Psalm 107:8, 31).  Let them sacrifice thank offerings and tell of His works with songs of joy (Psalm 107:22). 

    Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name; make known among the nations what He has done, and proclaim that His name is exalted (Isaiah 12:4).  We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks, for Your name is near; and men tell of Your wonderful deeds (Psalm 75:1). 

    Now therefore, our God, we [too] give You thanks, and we praise Your glorious name (1 Chronicles 29:13).

  • A Prayer of Thanksgiving to God

    You turned my wailing into dancing, You removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing to You and not be silent.  O Lord my God, I will give You thanks forever (Psalm 30:11-12). 

    But I, with a song of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to You.  What I have vowed, I will make good.  Salvation comes from the Lord (Jonah 2:9). I am under vows to You, O God; I will present my thank offerings to You (Psalm 56:12). 

    The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him; and I am helped.  My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to Him in song (Psalm 28:7).  I will thank the Lord for His righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High (Psalm 7:17). 

    I will give you thanks in the great assembly; among throngs of people I will praise You (Psalm 35:18).  I will praise God’s name in song and glorify Him with thanksgiving (Psalm 69:30). I will sacrifice a thank offering to You and call on the name of the Lord (Psalm 116:17).

    Open for me the gates of righteousness; I will enter and give thanks to the Lord (Psalm 118:19).  I will give You thanks, for You answered me; You have become my salvation (Psalm 118:21). 

    I thank Christ Jesus my Lord, who has given me strength, that He considered me faithful, appointing me to His service (1 Timothy 1:12). 

    I thank my God, whom I serve, as my forefathers did, with a clear conscience, as night and day I constantly remember [You] in my prayers (2 Timothy 1:3).  At midnight I rise to give You thanks for Your righteous laws (Psalm 119:62). 

    God of my ancestors, I thank and praise You. (Daniel 2:23). You are my God, and I will give You thanks; You are my God, and I will exalt You.  Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever. (Psalm 118:28-29). 

    Thanks be to God – through Jesus Christ our Lord! (Romans 7:25).  I always thank God for … of His grace given in Christ Jesus (1 Corinthians 1:4).  Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift! (2 Corinthians 9:15).
