Kingdom gratitude

We are your people, your very own sheep. We will praise you forever. For all time to come we will keep on praising you. ~ Psalm 79:13 (CEV)

I pray that you will be grateful to God for letting you have part in what he has promised his people in the kingdom of light. ~ Colossians 1:12 (CEV)
God, 
THANKS: I am thankful that you are letting me have a part in what you have promised to all your people. You've given me an important position in this kingdom of light that you are establishing. Darkness is doomed. And I'm so thankful. 
REGRET: I'm sorry that I'm slow to recognize the significance of this which you are doing. It's because I'm still too attached to the old kingdom -- the kingdom of darkness. 
INTERCESSION: Help me to cut all ties to the old kingdom. 
PURPOSE: I'm going to celebrate all that you do for your people -- including me. I'm going to praise you and celebrate your kindness by acting according to the light of your kingdom. 
Amen.
