All glory and honor and power and praise

to you Lord God

Father, Son, and Spirit

—One—

now and always and forever

 

for the wonder of your works

and the wonder of ourselves

and the staggering immensity of your favor.

 

TO THE FATHER

who creates me again this day

I GIVE THANKS!

for one more chance

to save and offer you my soul.

 

AND TO THE SON

who redeems me again this day

forgiving me as often as I may need this day

I GIVE THANKS!

that I never have to wait

to get back on the path that leads to you.

 

AND TO THE HOLY SPIRIT

who sanctifies me again this day

I GIVE THANKS!

for all good gifts

and every help

that I will need along the way.

 

All glory and honor and power and praise

to you Lord God

Father, Son, and Spirit

—One—

now and always and forever

 

for Creation

Redemption

Sanctification

 

All of this.

Deliberately this.

Only this.

YES!
