I come in thanksgiving and praise to God
Help me to articulate the gratitude that I feel toward You.
I was tripped up by my own pride and confounded by my foolishness.
I said things and did things that hurt others from which I could not escape.
Then You heard my cries and saw my plight.
You touched me with Your love and set me free to walk with You once more.
You continue to deliver me from the snares and pitfalls about me.
It is thus that I rejoice, O God.
It is because of this that I offer myself to you.
May your ever-present love for me make me a vehicle of love toward others
Who are troubled and afraid today.
