Almighty God and Father, there is no one like You who goes out for the sake of your beloved. You called me by my name to be part of your household. You called me to come out of the darkness of sin and into your marvelous light. You created me. You redeemed me through Jesus. I am blessed beyond measure. I bring my thanks and praise to a holy and righteous God in the name and authority of Jesus, according to your good and perfect will. Amen.
“But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: ‘Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.'” (Isaiah 43:1-3a ESV)
