Bless You, Dear Lord,
For being Our Father Which Dwells in Heaven but also on earth, as well as in vessels of earth.
For working in us the miracles that cause Thy Kingdom to come and Thy Will to be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
Thank You for giving us this day that we might experience The Glory of Christ's Resurrection in every phase of our lives and affairs.
Forgive us for not wholly recognizing how great and perfect The Glory of Thy Love or understanding Its Power.
Thank You for all the ways You lead us in paths of righteousness for Thy Holy Name's sake and for all the ways You deliver us from the lies that cause us to error in our ways.
Bless You, Dear Lord,
For it pleasing You to give us The Kingdom,
For it pleasing You to reveal Your Glory,
That we should know The Honor of Thy Character and Virtue.
Hallowed be Thy Name, Dear Lord, Creator and Possessor of Heaven and earth, and Revealer of Pure Truth. Surely Thou Art and ever shall be ... God Most High. Amen.

IN HONOR OF YOU
Bless You, Lord Jesus,
For being so wonderful. For being so loving. You loved God so much that You willingly sacrificed Yourself to give up Your throne in Heaven to come to earth. You so loved God that it pained You enough to see His heartache and the rift between us and God that You had to do something about it to correct it. You did what was necessary to prove Your love to God as well as to us just to reconcile us - to reconcile our relationship. Who else can say the same, Lord Jesus, and that they have gone to the lengths that You have to completely heal and restore right relationship? Certainly not even I, Lord Jesus. Certainly not even I.
But Lord Jesus, something else comes to mind that was also a determining factor in Your doing what You did for both God's sake as well as for ours. You knew that God's enemy was also our enemy and You had to do what was necessary to strip him of any power to do more damage. Lord Jesus, please forgive us for not truly understanding the full extent of the meaning behind all that You have done on God's behalf as well as on ours. We have only understood in part, a great part actually, but we have also neglected to fully appropriate all that You have done for us in the manner with which You have intended. Please forgive us for our ignorance, Lord Jesus. It's not Your fault we have been so ignorant, arrogant, or disrespectful. That blame goes to us for not taking the time to actually comprehend the depths of the caliber of Your love for not only us, but for God as well.
Lord Jesus,
God's enemy, our adversary who apposes our even knowing the full extent of God's love and of Your character, has blinded us in many ways. All the giftings, blessings and talents of amazing grace have been dolled out to each of us in the proportion God deemed fitting - extravagant enough to prove them worthwhile and small enough to keep us humble. Some of us having maybe only one special gifting or talent, some having many ... but it is collectively that we can actually pull all our resources together so that we can use them all. God made us to be one body and to have one Lord. God made it so we would have to be united in His Spirit so we could go forth with His Praises on our lips and His Sword in our hand, so we could move on with power and possess this land.
Lord Jesus,
God did not create earth to be a veritable hell for us. He created this earth to be an extension of Heaven. This earth on which we live and move and have our being, the very earth on which even God Himself took pleasure in walking and enjoying ended up being a place to which His number one worshiper was cast, along with the many other Angels of God who had it in them to become jealous just as we do. And where were they sent? They were sent to this place where God created us to rule and reign over him and his cohorts. As it turns out, Heaven was, is, and ever shall be Satan's nightmare. Heaven was, is, and ever shall be Satan's tormenting, tortuous hell. He couldn't stand Heaven's glory being so radiantly beautiful. That's why he decided to usurp God's authority, steal His throne, pervert His Righteousness, and destroy His Kingdom by doing whatever was necessary for him to do to kill the glory of God's marvelous Holy Light ... on earth as well as in Heaven. He understood how vast The Kingdom of God was and how far reaching It had and still has the potential of becoming. The Kingdom of God AND His Righteousness in Spirit AND in Truth ... in Spirit AND Manifest.
But You understood that, Lord Jesus. That's why You were willing to literally risk it all in order to prevent him from doing what should have been unthinkable in the first place. You saw how much it hurt God and interfered with His relationship with us. It was literally killing us and interfered with the increasing the borders of The Kingdom of God AND His Righteousness and keeping God (and us) from expanding Its territory. And You saw that both God as well as us deserved so much better. That we deserved to experience Heaven and have and enjoy all the blessings and benefits of Heaven because God deemed it so, and so God's joy could be full.
Lord Jesus,
God could not have asked for a better, more perfect Son than You. When God said LET THERE BE LIGHT, You took it to heart and did everything possible to make sure that hell's chaos and darkness would not reign supreme in our lives or in God's Kingdom.
Lord Jesus,
The Bible surely is a book of secrets. Thankfully, those secrets are revealed to whomever God wills and deems fitting. It is The Book of Life in which we have been so privileged to have come to light in many ways. But in those ways in which it has been lacking, some of which You have shared with me for nearly 30 years and some for nearly 20 ... I cannot help but thank You enough. You have made the way possible for me to share at least some of those secrets in an open forum, so to speak - a public platform. And I thank You for being open to receive questions and for not being bothered by them. I thank You for wanting to provide answers and for wanting to help us grow up in Christ to expand Righteousness and to increase the territory of The Kingdom of God for God's glory. But it seems to me, Lord Jesus, that we have gotten so much backwards - that we all (not You, Lord Jesus, but us) have fallen short of The Glory of God because we have not focused on The Glory of God nor loved, honored, cherished or respected The Glory of God like You have, do, and forever and always will. Neither have we implemented The Glory of God and put It to work for us like You have. So it seems to me, Lord Jesus, that You did whatever was necessary to even protect The Glory of God, even to the extent of doing whatever was necessary to make restitution to God for what ended up being Heaven's fall out. It seems to me that You did whatever was necessary to even heal and make whole The Kingdom of God. -- To some that may be reaching and grasping at straws, but is it really? Especially since The Kingdom of God is not just somewhere in the great beyond, but is also all the Universe displayed as well ... and then there is also us. The Kingdom of God/Heaven is also within us as well. Were it not so God would not call even us His home, His dwelling place from which He lives, moves and has His being in and through us.
This may be too much for many to grasp, Lord Jesus. Some just don't have it in them to consider such things and for others it's too deep to comprehend. Nevertheless, it doesn't make it any less true. So to honor God, Lord Jesus, I more than gladly receive You and welcome You into my life and affairs. And in honor of You and all that You have done for God's sake as well as for ours, even for the sake of The Entire Kingdom of God so that we could and would be healed and made whole, I for one, gladly receive it now to God's praise and glory, Lord Jesus, because I love You. But especially, Lord Jesus, because You love us so much more than we can even possibly think, dream, or imagine.
Lord Jesus,
What a miracle it would be for us to love so well and as much as You do The Glory of God.
Bless You, Lord Jesus. Bless You.

A Psalm 25 BLESS YOU, LORD JESUS
Bless You, Lord Jesus,
For this time we have together on this yet another glorious day that God has made. It's so wonderful to rejoice with You and be glad in it.
Yes, Precious Lord,
Unto You do I bring my life and place in Thy hands all my life, affairs and relationships, for You are God and I trust You. I put my trusting faith in You, confident that You will not put me to shame nor allow me to be disappointed. I give thanks for all the ways that You refuse to let my enemies triumph over me.
Yes, Precious Lord, I
I appreciate how all who trust in You and who hopefully look to and for You are not put to shame nor caused to be disappointed. Instead, only those who forsake what is right and who deal treacherously without a cause, they are the ones who are put to shame and who find themselves in continual disappointment.
Bless You, Lord Jesus,
For all the ways You guide us by Your marvelous light. Bless You for all the ways You guide us in Your truth and faithfulness. Bless You for being the God of our salvation, Lord Jesus.
Bless You, Lord Jesus,
Bless You for all the ways You refuse to remember the sins and frailties of our youth or any of our transgressions. Instead, You remember us for Your goodness' sake and according to Your tender mercy and steadfast love.
Glory be to God Most High!
Who instructs sinners in His Way and Who leads the humble in what is right. Surely God teaches the humble His Way. For good and upright is The Lord and all the paths of The Lord are mercy and steadfast love. And for those who keep His covenant and His testimonies, truth and faithfulness.
Bless You, Lord Jesus,
For all the ways You pardon my iniquity and my/our guilt though they are very great, for Your Name's sake. How wonderful it is that You teach the person who reverently fears and worships The Lord in the way that he should choose. Surely he shall dwell at ease, and his offspring shall inherit the earth. How wonderful it is that those who fear, revere and worship The Lord have the secret of His sweet and satisfying companionship. Thank You for revealing to them the deep inner meaning of the covenant You have with them, Lord Jesus.
Precious Lord Jesus,
My eyes are ever toward You. I trust You to pluck me out of the net and from all the snares that have been laid for me, even in secret, and humbly thank You for all the ways You are exceedingly gracious to me. Though I may be afflicted, I am not as alone as it may appear on the surface, for You are ever with me, Lord Jesus. I give thanks that You also consider my enemies who seem to a bound and how they hate me with a cruel hatred so that the troubles of my heart are multiplied. Even so, I praise You, Lord Jesus, for loving me/us and for being with me/us, and for all the ways You keep and deliver me/us so that we are not put to shame or disappointed for putting our trust in You. You are our refuge, the God of our salvation, after all, Lord Jesus, and it is You who causes our integrity and our uprightness to preserve us. And it is You Who doth richly bless us and Who works miracles in our lives and affairs for our sakes and to give us an awesome testimony concerning the glory of God's amazing grace.
Yes, Precious Lord,
Bless You for all the ways You redeem us from Satan's power and for all the ways You deliver us from the kingdom of darkness. Bless You for all the ways You save us, Lord Jesus, and translate us into The Kingdom of God's Marvelous Light.
Redeem also, Lord God, the nation and people of Israel out of all their troubles and deliver them from all their destructions. For I humbly ask it in Jesus' Name so God will be glorified in and through the nation and people of Israel just as He is in Heaven. And I for one, praise God for it in Jesus' Blessed and Holy Name. Amen.
