Colossians
 Thanksgiving Praise  

God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Sovereign of the Universe. O most glorious and majestic Lord, I come before You with thanksgiving and praise on my lips. Thanking You  for the love You have poured out to me; thanking You for answered prayers; thanking You for the Word, Your Holy Scriptures. I give You thanks, because of the hope which is laid up for me in heaven. Yes, Father I thank You for faith, hope and love, as faith rest on the past, love works in the present, hope looks to the future. I thank You for that fulfillment of hope in salvation when we shall be taken to heaven and will enter into our eternal inheritance. I thank You for the spiritual growth in my life, by the power of the Holy Spirit. O Lord, I give You all the praise, honor and glory. You are majestic, You are my strength and my refuge. You, O God are my omnipotent Creator. Hallelujah!

Father, I pray You give me complete understanding of what Your will is for me in this life; make me wise with spiritual wisdom to always honor and please You. Help me to continually do good and kind things for others. I pray, You will strengthen me with Your glorious power, give me patience, wisdom, and endurance, to be filled with joy. I thank You, Abba Father that I belong to You.

 I thank You for Your shed blood, as Your blood made peace with everything in heaven and on earth, and I especially thank You because, You have brought me into the very presence of the Father, and I am holy and blameless as I stand before Him with out a single fault. I praise Your Holy Name for my salvation! Father, I pray that You help me keep my eyes on my final destination, as I picture myself dead to this world and alive in Christ, remembering my Redeemer is returning for me. Hallelujah!

 Father, help me to clothe myself with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, helping me to make allowances for each others faults and to forgive anyone who offends me. Fill me with Your love, a love that binds us all together in perfect harmony giving me that peace that comes from You, to rule in my heart.

Father help me to keep my mind alert when I pray and to pray with a thankful heart. Help me to live wisely among those who are not Christians, keeping my conversations gracious and effective, so that I will have the right answers for everyone.

In Jesus name I pray, giving You thanksgiving and praise to Your Holy Name.

     Blessings and Power

Lord God Jehovah, I exalt You as head over all eternity, Your complete control over the universe, and Your great power. You are the glorious Master over all.  I am unworthy to give to You; and what I do give, comes from You anyway and the willingness to give is a gift from You. I pray that my devotion for You become a permanent trait. 

I bow before You and bless You, the Creator, the Maker of heaven and earth and ask that You bless me, my children and others who worship Your glorious name. You own the highest heavens and you have given the earth to man. O Lord as I become conscious of my place within the care and blessings of Your sovereignty does life become more than a shadow. Suddenly there is the hope of a future where You illuminate the purpose of my journey on this earth.  All that I have came to me by Yahweh God, and my giving comes out of an uprightness heart. Moreover my joy is heightened all the more when I understand the principle of true giving. I pray that You will give me a loyal heart to be obedient to Your command and my pledge to always honor and obey You.

Blessed are You Lord God of Israel, my Father forever. Yours O Lord is the greatness, the power and the glory. I thank You and praise Your glorious name. Yours is the kingdom , O Lord. You are exalted and head over all. In Your hand is power and might; in Your hand comes strength to all. I thank You. I give thanks to You for You are good and because Your mercy endures forever.

O Lord,. Truly I am Your servant; I offer You the sacrifice of thanksgiving. I call upon Your holy name and I will pay my vows in the presence of Your people; in the courts of Your house. Praise the Lord. I give thanks to You Lord, because Your mercy endures for ever. Amen
