Abba, in the name of our Lord Jesus, Your servant praises You.  Thank You for calling Your servant and for the power You provided that made possible this new life.  Thank You for meeting our every need with mercy and grace.  Yours is a perfect judgment and Your ways are all true.  Help us to make our choices lead towards You and the light and keep all evil away from our paths.  Forgive us, Father, for our disobedient nature.  Cleanse us as many times as we need and allow the guilt to spurn us toward good works.  Protect us and keep us from any condemnation and shame and be our chain breaker and destroyer of the sinful strongholds in our lives.  In Jesus’ name, amen.
