A Prayer of Thanksgiving & A Cry for Help
(Scriptures Below)
There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against you Lord. Victory rests in you alone. Therefore I will wait patiently for you, my Lord and my God. I will wait for you in prayer until you turn to me and hear my cry.
For you alone lifted me out of the slimy pit, and out of the mud and mire. You set my feet on the Rock that is Christ, and gave me a firm place to stand in your presence. Father, you put a new song of joy in my mouth, a hymn of praise to you my God.
May many in my path see and fear and put their trust in the Lord. For truly blessed is the one who makes the Lord his trust, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to love the things of this world.
Many, O Lord my God, are the wonders you have done. The things you planned for us no one can fathom or recount to you; were I to speak and tell of them, they would be too many to declare.
Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, O God, but my ears & my heart you have pierced; burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require. For Christ said on our behalf, "Here I am, I have come---it is written about me in the scroll. I desire to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart."
So I proclaim the righteousness of Christ among the believers O God. I do not and I will not seal my lips; I do not hide your righteousness in my heart; I pray for the strength and boldness to speak of your faithfulness and salvation in Christ our Savior. I do not conceal your love and your truth from the lost.
So please do not withhold your mercy from me, O Lord, nor from my ministry in Christ. May your love and your truth always protect me, as the enemies arrows without number come my way! May complete repentance and your grace overtake me Lord; free me always from the bondage of sin.
But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in the Son; may those who love your salvation always say, "The Lord be exalted!" Although I am poor and needy in Spirit Lord may you think of me. You are my help and my deliverer; O my God, do not delay!
May it please you Lord to deliver me with your power and your glory, as I delight myself in your Son.
In His Name I pray
Amen
Psalm 40:1-13, 16-17, Proverbs 21:30-31
