Thank You, Jesus, for loving my whole heart in truth. Thank You for unraveling the knots that bound me up in insecurity and doubt. Thank You for refining me in the gentle fires of faith and trust when circumstances overwhelm me and temptations assail me. Thank You for the hope that re-calibrates the compass of my heart to point in the direction of eternity and not in the direction of worldly success. Thank You for the grace that covers the nakedness of my iniquity and clothes me in the dazzling radiance of Your righteousness. Thank You for the mercy that places my shame in the realm of the unseen so that I am seen only in Your perfection. Thank You for the love that is incorruptible, matchless, boundless, empowering, enabling, and resurrecting. May I bring delight as Your image-bearing vessel in this world. Make me one who imparts all that You have given me with thankfulness in my heart now and forever more. Under the Word of Colossians 3:15-17 and the authority of my Savior King, Jesus, I humbly and gratefully pray.

 Let the peace of Christ keep you in tune with each other, in step with each other. None of this going off and doing your own thing. And cultivate thankfulness. Let the Word of Christ—the Message—have the run of the house. Give it plenty of room in your lives. Instruct and direct one another using good common sense. And sing, sing your hearts out to God! Let every detail in your lives—words, actions, whatever—be done in the name of the Master, Jesus, thanking God the Father every step of the way.
Colossians 3:15-17, MSG
