Father, I am truly blessed and the list of my blessings is unending. I cannot take credit for any of it for all the praise goes to You. I humbly acknowledge Your greatness and Your love.
2 Timothy 1:12 (<<click here to read the passage)
Lord, my Life Application Study Bible makes a wonderful point regarding this passage. “This was not a claim to strong faith; rather, it was a trust in one so powerful that even a weak faith was sufficient.”
When I ponder on our relationship, Lord, I am eternally grateful (literally!) that I have put my trust in You. As I said in my prayer, I am truly blessed. And it goes way beyond the physical. Where would I be without You? Lost, condemned, damned – and rightly so! On my own merit, standing before the judgment seat of Almighty God, absolutely nothing I bring in my defense is worth anything! Only because of Your sacrifice Jesus, and what it means for me can I even stand in the Father’s presence.
“Thank You” is insufficient. Even giving You my life in service is not sufficient but it is all I have. As part of the old hymn goes,
Take my life and let it be
consecrated, Lord, to Thee…
Take myself and I will be
ever, only, all for Thee.
~ Frances R. Havergal, February 1874
